should only be the wax that's effected

(bird poop is acidic - use a mild polish to remove)

Spray bottle of quick detailer and a micro fibre cloth in the glove box

get to it as soon as you see it.

Pay day today so I'll be getting a few things.

20x Wheel nuts

2x Child Restraints

Book Rosie in for temp exhaust and some minor fixes to comply with the pits

and decide whether or not I should go and get a Engineer Cert - because the new law comes in comlience on the 1st of Nov 2013.

Also - was looking at a CF Pod Filter airbox - however it's rated for the stock pod filter and not my aftermarket one so not sure if it'll fit :(

keep the Standard airbox bro, only only reason i don't use my standard box is it won't fit with my larger AFM.

Also new law?

All cars must have correct child restraints and Engineered (if 5 seater you need 3 child restraints) so yeah.. this comes in on the 1st of Nov 2013. Trying to slip past it.

Just booked Rosie in with Trojan for next Wed to get Bulbs, exhaust and chils restraints. Happy with the quoted price.

get engineered when you get defected

and remember even when engineered you can and will still be defected (when the PoPo feel like it)

but at least it will be less hassle I suppose.

Would love too, however, to pass pits I need it :/ But I'm trying to get it through before the 1st so that way I can maybe slip under the new law.

I'm confused...according to the guy who fitted and engineered my restraints, they're supposed to be fitted for compliance when the car is imported....not to mention they already require an engineer's certificate post-compliance (if compliance was dodgy), hence why I needed to have mine added to the report.

I have 2 sound speakers in teh rear parcel shelf so no longer complied. I only have one in the middle. I need 3, I only have 2 which need to be certified if I'm going to comply I guess.

So what on earth are you talking about when you say about slipping in before some law? They need to be fitted and engineered NOW, not after some date in the future.

Hence my confusion.

My understanding (Which is not promising) is that you need an engineers cert now (1st Nov). No excuses (It also needs to be tested). Before, when I got my R33 through pits they just said put child restraints in the back (Not to get it engineered).

Read the legislation (post #2149) as I don't fully understand it myself.

f**k reading that novel lol...but yeah let's not forget (and it seems you've encountered yet another prime example) that the clowns employed in VITU (Vehicle Inspection Technical Unit) DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE REGULATIONS THEY'RE APPARENTLY CERTIFIED TO ENFORCE.

Dead set, they're idiots. They wrongly advised you the first time with your R33, though at least at the time it was fortunately in your favour.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
