I have a stock r33 seat. It may have been rained on last night, I'll check. Though if you're using it just to pass inspection it should be good

any modification that was not factory needs to be engineered, so just remove it and yeah thats fine

Maybe it's changed since I've been over, but i've cleared a defect before, and my car has various mods which they didn't tell me I needed an engineers report for. My advice, go over and have a go, make sure you have an english language manual and the relevant tire placards and engine compartment stickers (in english) as they can pick you up on that. If you havent got that stuff, trojan can source it for you.

I went through with an aftermarket pod filter. He asked if I had any mods - I said the only thing I am aware of is the Pod filter he said and I quote "nah, you don't need an engineers cert for that". Also - coilovers were accepted, however it needs to be legal height and correct parts. ALSO I had a turbo timer which they asked about, "is that a turbo timer?" Me: "yes but i can force it off by lifting the hand break" him: "demostrait please - okay all good".

So there are a few things you can pass that is not factory but if it's easy to change out id recommend it.

I passed 2 weeks ago - I'm sure it's a case by case - also I acted as if I didn't know anything about cars (which is pretty close to the truth haha) and so they were quite helpful and lenient.

Edit: I also got a Trojan to fit and install parts so it looked as if I wasn't doing the dodge and that the stuff was correctly installed - which helped A LOT ! As they questioned things and after I gave my invoice they didn't check the installed parts and just ticked the boxes the invoice said was complete.

Dude you're f**king replacing the car, why do you give a shit to put effort in and have it passed? Just cancel the rego on it the day before they do so you get a pro rata refund and forget about it.

yeah attractive to next buyer if just passed dickson. im a fan of passing cars first go, i usually talk to whoever mechanic prior says what im doing that needs fixing and queary him on anything if im unsure. however i do eveything myself and like to think my mehanical knowledge is reasonable. so yeah

If you're selling it with a roadworthy, you're kidding yourself. Will end up spending SO much more time and money to get it than the car is worth. f**k that.

Just cancel the rego and get a dodgy RWC, then sell it with that.

Once the rego is cancelled (either by yourself or the RTA if you leave it that long), there IS NO DEFECT TO CLEAR. The car just requires a roadworthy to have registered. All defects are tied to the rego (which is tied to the car). No rego = no defect. New rego = no defect.

Thanks mate,

I might just chuck some stock rims, stock exhaust and raise my coilovers up and try pass. If they pull me up on suspension then I'll get that sorted.

I'll put car seat covers on and just stay in my seat.

Anyone got the username manuals etc that I will need?

Not true. At all.

Hope they don't give you too much pain Dan. If they heard yours no doubt my mate will get a letter for his white s15. :\ so glad i never go up there.

The thing is Troy that I won't have the R34 until after Christmas and taxi is too expensive to work

Alrighty, but don't think just coz Jeremy got lucky and actually passed without an engineer's cert and/or reaming for other pointless shit, you will too. I highly recommend getting your "child restraint anchors" fitted BEFORE they tell you to do it.

I'll go check it out on my lunch and see what child restraints I have.

Pretty sure it's still fitted but if not then I have one I can put on.

I'll get as much of the noticeable shit that they would be ping me for done.

Then just take it through so I can get a list of what else needs doing.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
