what determines the difference between major/minor?

or is it how they feel

Might be how they feel?

I got a major defect for being too low. The lowest point of my exhaust was 5mm off the required 100mm.

Had to get a RWC and spend $500 fixing shit up that other workshops reckon didn't need fixing....

Forever my car now will be a 4wd and I will not lower it...

From memory there is a box on the sheet where they mark it as minor or major and I think most officers will do major if there is a few items that need attention. When I got done for HID it was minor...assuming a sensible officer, major would only apply to things like a serious safety hazard or numerous engine modifications.

Cheers guys!

Yeah when my friend was taking out all the shit to get to the sparkies he kept on saying luckily I have this tool, otherwise if you did this yourself at home it would be a bitch for you to get 'x' screw out.

I get jelly when I hear my friend changes his spark plugs in his s15 in 5 mins.

You could change the spark plugs in my Calibra in 5 mins. East-west engine, with spark leads that just pull straight off the plugs...and there they are. Unscrew old, screw in the new.

I believe it is the third note.

Driven past any Highway patrol cars yet Aaron? :D

yep.

yesterday night.. didnt even look

3 days prior.. who actually put the window down and said "nice car.. good to see you not drive like a dickhead"

theres nothing to defect in my car now since i put a return flow intercooler in.. it wouldve been the only thing..

110mm high at the lowest point.

none of this HID stuff.

wheels sit flush with no poke..

i dont think engine shock braces are defective. or colour lol.

maybe exhaust is a little loud but that doesnt worry me. im changing that soon lol

that said.. i dont exactly expose myself. drive to work and back. sometimes, or to the missus house.. otherwise she drives her mobile.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
