Hi guys, after what seemed like forever, my 370gt is finally arriving from Victoria this week! I will need to register it in WA asap and was wondering if anyone has got away with passing the pits with factory HID still installed? Is the light obviously a different colour or is it a subtle difference only? If possible i would like to avoid the rigmarole of swapping over twice. Its the stupidest ADR! Any advice appreciated. thanks

Nice one, Tom. Is it still blue? :)

If you need help with HID's, a member on here from WA is an expert on those things. His username is DRIFT or something. I forgot his name. He's a friend of a friend who did my bodykit for and had chatted with him before regarding HID's.

I can ask for his number or something through Facebook. If you want, let me know.

Good luck.

As soon as it turns on it dims and then Goes brighter, easiest tell for hid.. um depends who u go to for compliance. Maybe put standard bulbs on for it and then swap them out

it needs to be wired up differently though right? if it was just a 10 min job i wouldnt mind but im kind of time poor at the moment so DIY wiring is probably not an option.

Thanks for the replys. I might wing it to start with and if gets rejected i'll go for plan B. Im pretty sure you get 2 goes at the examination for the initial price.. I heard that you can get the cars inspected at various garages these days too?? Anyone know where? I bet they must be much more easy going then those losers at the licencing centres.

Who ever complied the car should have removed the HIDs. This would of made it easier to get registered in your state. When mine was complied I just asked for my HIDs back and after the car was registered I put them back in.

Andrew, V36 HIDs are auto leveling but they don't have the washers which what's required to meet the latest ADR,

The cars registered in VIC. They passed it over there only a few months back but im pretty sure its less strict there. I'll let you know how i go in the inspection tomorrow. All this because a little bug got squashed on a headlight. :merli:

Ah, so the car is already registered. When it was complied it would have had the HIDs removed then, once it was registered the previous owner would have refitted them. Compliance requirements are nation wide, HIDs are removed if they don't meet ADRs.

It wasnt done at comliance and it passed in VIC. AND good news!! It passed here too..

Word of advice. Take your cars to private garages for inspections, not licencing centres. The owner was a young, easy going guy.

Im happy as larry :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
