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...

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.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
