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.

well f u c k, i was told 3 months by the compliance place..... 3 months wait and save yourself $5500, i thought it was a good deal....

oh well, just gives you more time to get the spoiler and front/rear bumpers ready for me :D - as said in PM, happy to pay up front for the spoiler now if ya want.... :(

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.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
