Do you?

Would be better if you didnt.

Give it a try.

Could save a lot of hassle.

Tried with Helga - got pushed away from everyone and was told Dickson was the only way. Thought I already did my research for it.

You're supposed to take it through Dickson because it's an import - interstate has nothing to do with it (at least not recently).

Well, that answers the question - Rosie is an import hence having to take it to Dickson. Unless there is a cool off period of x amount of years?

Nah, I'm fairly sure it's Dickson end of story....doesn't mean you can't get a RWC from somewhere else, if they'll do it. I got my R33's RWC from Lanyon Service Centre (these guys were dodgy lol, ended up losing their ticket). Just gotta hope the person behind the counter in the shopfront doesn't pick up on it (which is extremely unlikely, unless they've changed the way they do things).

Short answer: it's supposed to go through Dickson, but that doesn't mean you can't get it passed somewhere else.

Oh, I get you know. Haha sorry - a little slow this morning.

Well, I'm pretty confident that it'll pass through dickson. The first time it went through was the real basic stuff. Noise and height with child restraints - which is fair. This time round, I have all that fixed + more they didn't ask about. So, I have no concerns for not passing. Also, given that Shell's Child Restraints are through the speakers (so are mine) I no longer have doubt.

Man you do a good job at confusing me lol.....do you honestly not understand the gravity of requiring an engineer's certificate? ESPECIALLY FOR ONE THING, since they have to certify the entire car regardless. Might as well avoid it until you have REAL modifications to have engineered. No point dishing out to engineer the restraints, only to have to do it again when you get defected for something and sent over Dickson with a stack of mods lol

I am avoiding the Cert - hence doing a FULL inspection again. I'm not doing the re-test. My hope is that Dickson will see the child restraints and not mark me down for it (they actually don't get into the back seat to see if it's working properly) - however, they're legally installed by Trojan. I got everything complied at Trojan for Dickson - meaning, that everything on my car is now legal (except for wheels which I have stocks in the garage), so passing through pits with a full inspection may not mark down child restraints.

First Dickson visit - no child restraints - require engineer cert

second Dickson visit - Child restraint - hoping I do not require engineer cert.

They joys of owning an import.

Rules re dickson:

as of about 4 months ago ALL imports have to go through dickson as part of their crackdown. Before that if it was a car from the ACT anywhere could do the inspection. Interstate "prefers" you to go through dickson. Still didn't have to. I got my GTR and had the inspection done in a place in fyshwick (canberra car).

My mates s15 was done and Ultimate tunes and passed there.

Unfortunately its just how dickson runs at the moment. Don't know if they will back off any time soon....

I expect you are on record at Dickson and I expect they will enquire about the certificate

I also thought this would be the case - but I rocked up for my re-test without my papers (I called in advance to see if this was going to be a problem - they said no)... So with no papers, the guy said, in short. "No papers, no test". He also mentioned that they don't have the mechanic report (Which the guy jots down what needed to be fixed) so, I'm hoping my car fixes are not on record.

I hope that makes sense.

You should be OK unless the Indian guy is there, he is a douche. I know they do log stuff on there attached with VINs (this is how they detect defects etc) but I'm not sure if it has previous inspections or not.

Hopefully its all easy and goes well

Don't Forget to do something about that "Stock Airbox" that is only held with one bolt and doesn't line up with the rest of the holes.

Put Pod back on with Bracket me thinks. Have you fixed that dodge Taillight yet???

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
