Just booked it in for the 12th of December So I have some more time to hopefully receive my new car. Had a chat with the bloke and he said if it fails the inspection then I have a month to get things

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.

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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
