First off I must apologise for this as it is really a double post. I made a post in the Cosmetic mods section, but I don't believe it was the correct section. It was only about my HIDs but I think it will be much better to keep all the licensing issues to 1 thread.

I took my car for registration today and failed for 4 reasons;

1. Immobilizer

To sort this out, I will just take the car to an auto sparky and get them to fit an alarm + immobilizer.

2. HIDs do not comply (Need self cleaning device and auto leveler).

I am a little confused as to what I can do here. Has anyone here got some experience with this? I really want to keep them, so I'm thinking just a switch out with some bulb style lights to get registered then replacing the HIDs after.

3. Tint too dark.

I think the guy at the centre was just making an assumption as I believe it is 20% light through for it to be legal. But I guess I will just believe him and remove the tint.

4. GPS in way of forward vision.

I have removed this already.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :):thanks:

Self explanatory

Do what you said

3. Tint too dark.

35% legal, off it comes

As per^

35% Tint in front of Driver

20% Behind Driver

Cheers for that. It's the stock Xenon lights.

Do you know if it is just a direct swap out for the bulb style lights including reflector? Will any wiring need to be changed or will I need an adapter?

Thanks

i would either buy or loan some stock lights (bulb style) the complete unit and swop them over.

Immobiliser must be fitted. Can't get around that.

HID's must be removed. Just put some halogen bulbs in. Put your HID's back in once it passes.

Tints - just rip them off, get it passed and then go get new tints put back on.

GPS - self explanatory.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Willing to pay someone $50 ono just for loan of Halogen light units for compliance only.

Sms me on 0430 416 076. I live SOR.

I will pay good moneys to whoever can loan me the Halogen style units for the R34 Sedan.

I'd rather not have to spend $1300 on http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKYLINE-R34-GTR-GTT-OEM-GENUINE-NEW-HEADLIGHTS-PAIR-RB26-RB25-HALOGEN-/140640376167?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20bed1d567#ht_618wt_1396

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
