Safety cert = RWC doesn't it?

Yeah mate, but not all mechanics issue the certificates.

Try Russel at Autofine performance Labrador, not sure if he does them but he will point you in the right direction.

Oh, I realised that. Most mechanics that do it advertise it as a roadworthy check/certificate (RWC, at least the local ones here seem to), but what you get is called a safety certificate. It's been like that for a few years (along with the changes on selling a car registered with a SC etc)

Ok i would check with the D.O.T. first what the legislation is on some of those defects, because they cant defect you on some shit that they make up.

Fair enough ride height under 100mm you will get done and a bald tyre, but front mount not having mesh thats a new one.

Air filter wasnt it secured properly.

yeah tyhe airfilter was secure but he said that it had to be in a box. he said the intercooler had to be meshed. and the grill (gtr imitation) had to be meshed up aswell. the guy was a loser. when i explained to him thw auto thing he was like (oh im not a skyline speacialist, if its ok then the mechanic will know)

the bloke was a loser

Last time i checked in QLD we only need to secure our pods not actually box them as well.

that is correct. they only need to be secured, not boxed.

check out my thread in regards to something similar to what you've just been defected for -

what is the best way to secure a pod??? I dont think mine is secrued, I didn't know it had to be??

Well zip ties are out of the question.

Some type of metal bracket secured to a solid fixing point.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought you didn't let mechanics, especially those with no idea, work on your car any more? Wouldn't that mean it won't be an issue in your case?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By Manur33 · Posted

      Is it possible to get them dilled and taped if its not there. Same for oil feed and turbo drain, is it easy to get them taped or i should get the supply from somewhere else?

      I'm not doubting it does something, there's clearly a reason why Nissan bothered with it on the transmission/diff/transfer case but it's more just the effort of finding a drain plug that isn't going to have some unexpected design problem that makes me lazy. For example even the Nismo branded ones here spec way less than the factory 20 N-m. They say only torque to 10 N-m. That is getting absolutely trashed the moment you take it to any mechanic who isn't familiar with the specific requirements and assumes it should be torqued to factory spec.

      Same same. DE block has no oil squirters though. You either live without them, or go to the effort of adding them. The type of pain is up to you.
