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 .

      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

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
