OMBUDSMEN! fight for no compliance fees !

Probably would never work :(

I'm in the same boat. Except my compliance shop refuses to communicate with me at all and has never called me back.

I am going to my workshop in the morning and am considering a commonwealth ombudsman case with DOTARS if they are the issue.

One of my mates previously worked at Vehicles imports at Dept of Infrastructure blah blah blah. He said it is a very shit process and pretty much up to the person working through the applications to decide how long they take. He came across a number of cases where if it was up to him, they would be approved but because of a paper work error or the process of application was incorrect, they would be sent back to start all over again. He mentioned a person that had imported a mobility scooter (or something) for the elderly that wasn't approved due to process and was sent away to apply again.

Another thing to consider is what is happening in the Government with the employment freeze. A lot of departments have a higher work load than they are accustomed too.

Anyway, plenty of R34's are in the country so it'll get through eventually.

Cheers for the insight mate.

It seems a couple of people are in the same boat as me but it's annoying that an error with the paper work was made when clearly there is a huge backlog and things are going to take time. If that was the case you would think they would triple check paper work before sending it off.

Oh well not much I can do but wait

Hunting the perfect base colour.......

The gold pearl will lighten it up slightly, so i have to pick a darker green for the base.

The aim is to get it no lighter than Holden poison ivy, a little darker would be perfect.

Toyota spruce green 6v4 looks nice and dark, but it has brown in it.

Looking for a real dark green thats not brownish.

There are so many to look through, any suggestions would be welcome.

That colour will deffo separate the R32 from others. Will you be putting new shoes on the ol' gal or keeping your currents? Gold would look nice with that colour :)

Stumbled across my cousins drift vid:

His R31 Supercharged - he is currently working towards super turboing it I believe.

17x9 +35, federal rsr 235/40 front & 255/40 rear, guards lipped to fit.

And a bit of bog to smooth them out, cos im not that good with the guard roller.

Might go with a 50 profile next set of tyres, more grip.

the guy who owned that worked at Tyrepower tuggers wonder what happened?

anyone know what this part does. My fitting on the fuel tank lid snapped off and im looking into putting a fitting but its not just that simple because im not sure what the part at the bottom does.

I believe that is both for fuel return from the rail and ventilation to the carbon canister.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
