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!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
