Compliance....

It wasnt on my bill when i got my 32 done, so i guess not. Compliancer's only do what they have to in order for the car to be registered and nothing more usually. If the car came in with stuffed brakes they would have had to put newies in to get it registered.

Probably a pretty rare occurance actually :D

Things like brake pads and spark plugs are not compliance issues, so I doubt any compliance workshop would replace them unless you asked for it to be done also

The compliance workshop is not really responsible for getting the car to a roadworthy standard, but rather just to make sure it meets ADR's - so if your car comes in with stuffed pads, then it would be up to you to replace them.

That's true....

After collecting my paperwork from the compliance centre, i found thaty the pads HAVE to be changed if there is LESS than 50% of breake pad left.

So i ended up answering my own thread.....DOE!!!

But thanks for the input guys...

i wanted to make sure that i was not being given the bump steer...

That is true that the car must meet emission standards, even if it means having to tune the car - but it says nothing anywhere on the engineers certificate about brake pads.. I am surprised that your front pads have been changed by the compliance workshop, and even more amazed if you were not charged for them on top of the other work.

I believe they were not changed, but i read on the engineer's certificate a clause for it. It had no tick or anything next to it so i guess the pads made it in ok.

I'll check the certificate and post it here what it says

    • Not fine enough, only good as a pre filter. You need like a 10 micron. FWIW I run a 40 micron pre filter then before the rail, there's a 10 micron (maybe finer, can't remember).
    • OK, so. Look very closely at this. Here is a snip of the ECU diagram. Note that the VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal) input to the ECU is sent from the speedo head. The speed sensor on the gearbox (whether auto or manual) is connected to the speedo, and the speedo converts that AC voltage signal to a 0-5V DC PWM signal that the ECU reads. Pin 58 is NOT used by the ECU. It is used by the TCU. And unlike Duncan's thought on the matter, I would think that the only comparison done (by the TCU) would between trans output shaft speed and engine rpm. This so that the TCU can know whether the lockup converter is doing its thing, the clutches are managing shifts appropriately, etc etc. I would be willing to bet that the only speed signal you need to intercept with any speed cut defender, regardless of auto or manual transmission, would be the VSS into pin 29. That is the only speed signal available on a manual. And here is the rub. Your car is a manual. So why are we even having this conversation. There is NO speed signal input on pin 58 on your car right now and it runs just fine. That should tell you how important that pin is for your manual ECU.
    • well, here's hoping it is off to a good home, looks like the new owner got a steal
    • That's the last time I'll see the 180sx. It's off to Victoria do keep an eye out for it down there.
