rofl. It's nasty to laugh, but I can't help it.

dude, there's a guy named todd that some of us have used for tinting - I may still have his number. he can rip off the dark stuff and replace it cheap cheap. don't pull it off yourself or you'll lose the demister.

do a search on SilWA about the things that s13s commonly get defected for and which pits are most amicable.

you might as well get permits now..... the too large reason is a joke though.

did you get picked up on anything else?

and why do you insist on starting every bloody post with "aye"?!?!!!! F#$CKING AYE!!!

mine said exhaust, air filter/cleaner and blow off/recirc valve.

I beleive anyone can take it over, but it may pay to hear what they have to say - since you're gonna have to fix it.

inspite of what the silwa people said, most of the guys at the pits are pretty helpful, and actually get the shits on with every kid getting sent with defects for having green snot in his nose and a factory bodykit..

provided the tint is right, the pod is secured (using a bracket) and the bov isnt too loud, AND everything else on the car is cool, you shouldnt have any problems.

warwick in my personal experience are useless

my 15 year import is exempted from a compliance plate - but the inspectors insisted on arguing that i needed one even tho i had documentation to prove otherwise

and they picked out all minor stuff

i drove out to midland and it flew over - didnt even have to pay for reinspection lol

Welcome to the world of imports! :Bang:

I've been to Welshpool and East Perth. Welshpool were better, a lot more forgiving.

While I was there I got a permit for my pod filter and my (stock) blow off valve. I've since been hassled bout the stock bov so I'm glad I now have the permit.

Don't take the tint off just yet. I went over the pits with 5% black tint on the back window and they passed it.

Good luck! :)

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
