Help get my car on the road, it's been 15 months!!

I've fixed a lot of things and all I need is a road worthy to get it on the road.

Only things that probably won't pass would be the hicas light showing up on the dash board, from disabling the hicas system (obvs) and maybe my diff which I've shimmed.

Would be great if anyone knew anyone or could point me in the direction of someone who would be able to help.

Cheers.

Oh cool how far up on northside? Do I need to drive the car to him cause it has no rego atm. Nothing wrong with the car at all besides the things I've mentioned and definitately will be pulling that hicas globe out ASAP.

Can legally drive the unregistered car to him, but you must have your CTP insurance cover with you, and an appointment with the roadworthy guy. Also need to have the application for rego forms with you (this last bit maybe not essential, but a good idea). You can then drive straight from your place to the mechanic, and then straight to the transport place for rego. They will give you plates, which you have 24 hours to fit, and a receipt which you can use for proof of rego till the rego certificate turns up in the mail (up to 2 weeks)

Edit: if the roadworthy place is a long way from you, then you might struggle to justify why you have to drive the unregistered car so far. Just something to consider.

The other option is mobile roadworthies. They usually charge $30-40 more than the standard roady

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
