Well blacky went back to the pits yesterday, after have the stock suspension puyt back in, a spacer under an engine mount fitted, some fiberglass packing infront of the cat to make it super quiet accompanied by some expensive paperwork saying it was under 90dB's, a gas analyzer print out for emissions, new tail lights and front indicators and a few other bits and pieces.

The guy mentioned my shift light was illegal and the rsm because it faced the driver, if they point straight down the center of the car they are legal. But after a brief look over the car he says thanks for making a good effort to correct the things we picked up on last time, dont care about that stuff on the dash ill clear your defects....

Hmmmm now the car had no highmount stop light, tyres were too large and stick out past the guards to name 2 of the many obvious things wrong with it.... but hey im not complaining.. just happy to be able to drive it again, none the less it went straight home, got loud again, and coilovers re fitted ;)

Coilovers are illegal because they are not ADR approved..... quote the transport officer, some old fella that had it in for me....

Non of our cars are ADR approved, there ****en low volume imports... but anyway

When it went back for re inspection i wazs having a chat to the younger guy that looked over my car and he said he would of passed it with coilovers.

Bottom line is, if u are concerned about being defected put your car in the garage and never drive it again. They can and will do u for anything even if they make shit up.... Yes u can fight it but most people dont... its what comes with owning an import or performance car and u have to take the good with the bad.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
