i have heard stories that they can sometimes be a little tighter becuase the know the cars not theirs and probably just a 18 year old getting their mum to put it over for them. I know this isnt you case but i guess only one way to find out :cheers:

+write them a letter telling them its your car and u have work bla bla bla and ur mum has to take it over and ur sorry u cant be there bla bla bla

could work, betta than posting up on a forum thiunking ur all good cuz ya dads gonna take it ova i guess

/me keeps running

It was failed on an "oil leak" and one of the boots had slipped off. So..that's being fixed up (again) and in another few days I go over again. Can someone come with me and hold my hand? I don't think I can handle rejection a third time.

i'm down the road, may be free if i can finish my thesis soon enough.

i know the rego inspection is a harrowing thing - my r33 was clean as a whistle but they still said it was too dirty near the engine number. they also didn't like my rims, said the car was too low and the spare tyre hadn't been marked "80kph only". i failed first time too!

they were pretty critical of my compliance workshop - they said, "your car should be able to pass first time straight from compliance. once the car's been through compliance you shouldn't have to do anything more to it. that's what compliance is". they advised me to call for a refund because clearly the workshop hadn't done their job.

that said, they were really helpful the next time through. turns out the area around my engine number is heavily scoured but about six of them gathered 'round with torches having a good look...."ah, the next letter could be a Q? or maybe an O? or a zero?".

edit: meant to add, a good attitude will do wonders. :P

In my and many other peoples opinion, he doesnt know what he is on about. He is apparently an Ex-public Servant who has read a few books and done a course or two. Supposedly he has never spent a day in the trade. I have spoken to many people who have had him inspect/pass their cars and they have been pinged at Rego. You will be back over the pits again. Dont sign or even fill out any papers he gives you or anything like that. Go see Ray Spencer at Canberra Motor Works.

I have passed.

It's a strange feeling having registration.  I still look over my shoulder everytime I take her out though....

It should feel good,not expecting a tap on the shoulder when you take it out....errr....

Anyway,congrats on getting the mighty VR4 legally on the road!

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
