hey everyone,

just wondering if there is anyone at the moment, waiting or just gone through having a test vehicle looked at by DOTARS? Be it you're an owner of a workshop, or had your car used as a test vehicle...

My car has been at this workshop in Sydney since August 10th, and there is still no date for when DOTARS are going to come out and look at the car :rant: - It's getting to the stage of being rediculous now and was wondering if anyone has been through the process recently, or is currently in the process of and knows what the hell is going on.

Anyone got contacts at DOTARS to check up on some stuff for me?

cheers,

daniel.

It isnt to bad these days, first test car was in the work shop for just over 12 months, these days inspections are 6 to 8 weeks after paperwork sent to DOTR's.

Dont ring DOTR's as it is nothing to do with them, it is up to the workshop to have solid evidence and know what they are doing.

Is it the workshops first car and I assume you got a good discount on compliance.

this is bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i'm being told the car MIGHT be looked at 7-11th March!!!! F*CKING MARCH!!!! All the evidence and paperwork was submitted before Christmas!!! Who ever is handing out this shit information or 4-6 weeks really must be having a laugh, cos that couldn't be further from the truth.

There has been ONE delay with some paperwork.... you can't tell me that blows it out to 2nd week of March!!! Car has been in the workshop since August 10th! :D

soooooooooooooooooooooo f*cking pissed off right now.

Saving $5,500 would make the wait worth while if you have another car to get around in, $5,500 is a fair bit of money.

same car is now 2000-2500 cheaper now anyway and compliance is now only 3500 ..so given the fcuk around its a dud deal in my opinion

well, R34 prices actually have gone up since i bought mine (well at auction anyway) and i think the cheapest 34 compliance is $4200, but most are $5500.

Mine will be about $26K on the road. But 34 prices still seem to be higher than when i was buying. so i at least bought at a good time... but it seems the March date is pretty concrete and to be complete honest i'm on my P's till the end of April and it's over the power/weight ratio, so maybe it's meant to be that i don't have it till i'm practically off my p's...

a semi-positive spin...

i beg to differ...r34 prices are going down at auction...duty rate has changed ...and i just had 1 complied @3500 :D

You can get them done for $3500+ tyres + brake pads if needed in Sydney as well .

R34 prices are about the same now as they were 6 months ago going on the auction stats that i have but import duty is only 10% now .

Tell me who complyied it for that price and what it cost including Tyres, Brakes and so on as I know some dealers who will take it at that price.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
