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

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

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.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
