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.

I usually do, but i took it all out on the weekend to do the Merc i was detailing and have not put it back in yet. Ill have to give it a quick look at tonight.

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
