hey y'all

finally got a confirmed date for inspection, 9th March and 9am, canberra will be out to check the car out (and workshop?) - supposedly takes up a whole day and almost guaranteed to be discussion items at the end but i've been told it's up to the Engineer to resolve the D.I.'s but via the internet? secure server? So does this mean that the car is no longer required after the inspection day even tho there might be some D.I.'s??

just trying to work out when i can take it..

cheers,

daniel.

If the workshop is already a RAW it takes a day and isnt as hard as doing RAW approval and vehicle inspection at same time as it involves a lot more.

The DI's will be answered by the workshop and engineer with some hard copy documents or via the net, with most engineers packs tight it isnt holding up the approval to much it is more about the workshop and minor mistakes.

Car cant be taken till DI's are cleared and plate fitted to car.

if the DI's are cleared via hard copy or internet, what is the car needed for if they don't come out to check it again? I'm not talking about taking the car for rego, i'm talking about taking the car as soon as it's no longer needed.... i can't see why the car is physically needed if everything is done on the net??

i'm of the understanding the plate will be mailed to be, and i'll organise to put it on.

cheers,

daniel.

is that like full-on regulations? Because they were happy to mail me the plate, and for me to get it fitted. I can't rego it without so there is no reason for me to not put it on, if i sell it i'm stuck with an un-registable car. The last thing i want, i want the bloody thing on the road.

They said they need the space, and would be happy for the car to be gone... if DOTARS has discussion items that don't require the 'physical' re-inspecting of the car... why can't i take it? they're not going to look at it again? and everything is submitted on the internet?

thanks for the help so far... cos i don't really know how this all works...

cheers,

daniel.

ok, inspection done!!! yay! exams passed and only some D.I.'s to take care of..

now, i've been told i can take the car anytime next week but i'm just wondering if anyone (DRIFTT :P) knows how long D.I.'s take usually and how soon can a workshop get their plates? Was the general process from here on in?

cheers,

daniel.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
