Hi dudes,

I am mooving to the back to the ACT after living in sydney for 5 years and gotta get my car re registered here. Everywhere i call they ask me what sort of car it is. I say a nissan importand they give me heaps of ohhh, i dont know, ummm mabyee. garbage....

Mycar came in under the 15 year rule and is legally registered in NSW. I just had it inspected a month ago and it passed with no problems but i took it somwhere today and the guy went over the car and just picked on the most trivial stuff. I went on the RTA website and checket what he said and 90% of it was garbage. it comlies to ACT standard he just didnt like me or didnt want to pass the car or something. so i paid my $38 for a list of fails that are nonsense.

I dont really want to get into it. but i just want to know where you guys would go to get your car inspected.

if youcan PM me a place to go to get it inspected i wouldbe very grateful

Cheers guys :)

change a couple of the thigs he pulled you up on, or print what it says on the rta website and go back for a second inspection, its free within 2 weeks. If he still knocks you back, you havent really lost anything and he might pass you

I just had the new "toy" ('89 Nomad van) rego checked to change back to ACT. ACT Brakes @ Mitchell has a actual drive-over pit for rego inspections, and no booking required - just drive up between 8am and 4pm (except between 10:00 and 10:30 I think), and they will inspect your car. My front steering is a little tired, but they didn't consider it worth a fail.

These guys seemed reasonable when the inspected my old Fiat.

i would trust them to scratch there dic, blew up my rotor after it was tuned, tryed to tell me that it was diff noise, i was like what the f**k (it was pinging it head off)

If you still need somewhere PM me and i can tell you whos passed my skyline, many previous skylines, my mates nissan s13 (which clearly was wayyy to loud) and my brothers vtir civic (slammed)... none of the cars they had a problem with... and i've heard of people failing for obvious reasons (ie my brother) because it didnt have a grill in place, they just said come back with it on and we'll pass you free of charge. So its always good to know you basically have a second chance, oh and btw they didnt care if it was import or not.

I used to have work done at Ultimate Tunes all the time, they never did me wrong.

I do find that funny though, because they seem to have more rotors there than anything else :lol:

They have a bit of a name to hold, so I think they do know what they are doing.

I have never had a problem with anything they have done for me.

deleted due to me having a spat and dont want to offend ppl's companys, what happen with my rotor was a long time ago with that company.

Stupid question;when moving interstate to the A.C.T.I was sure you had to do the official Dickson pits,regardless.Isn't that still the case?In which case,you may not be a happy camper...Would you have much to change back to get it roadworthy?Or is a Engineer's Certificate gonna be required?

    • Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?
    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
