They have onviously not complied with the contract.  I reckon you have good grounds to take it to another compliance shop. I would give DOTARS a call (be prepared for a wait) and ask them if you can change compliance shops.  Maybe call some other compliance shops (for your model) and ask them what to do if another compliance shop fails.

:P Cheers :D

nah, the car is out already...pheww!!!thank you :(

I really interested about the answer of it, can we change the compliance workshop after the car is landed here already? Is there any problem with the import approval?

because my car is sitting in the workshop for 10 months already................................and still waiting!!

any info will be deeply appreciated

hahaha, i've just gone through this whole thing about changing workshops.

short answer yes, but quite complicated.

Is your a test car? What has happened so far? How far along is the workshop?

SS8_Gohan:

yes, my car is a test car.

my car landed here Feb and sent to work shop next week after that.

Usually I contacted the workshop by phone, because I gonna work from Mon to Fri. Four months ago, they told me they have done all the things of my car aleady and booked in for inspection day as well, they are just waiting for people to come.

But I went to the workshop last month and looked at my car, it seems they haven't done nothing, the tyres, seat belt......etc is still the same as just landed...................

As you said we can change the workshop, how complicated to change it? Will it take a long time? Any info will be helpful and thanks in deep.

Don't panic. What the workshops mean by saying they have "done all the things" is that they have sent DOTARS all the evidence packs & the other guff they need. It doesn't mean they have actually finished modifying your car. Same thing happened to me. The wait for DOTARS is interminable - that will be the source of the delay, not so much the workshop.

Couple of questions:

When did the shop submit the evidence pack?

When is your inspection date?

don't know about the evidence pack, however the workshop said they have booked in four months ago, now they are still waiting it and they don't know the inspection day as well...........

are they lairs or am I too sensitive?

I`ll go sensitive

inspections can be done by DOTARS with 1 weeks notice

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
