thats so bad that they can just pull you up in another suburb and get you to follow them there, what if you had to be somewhere, i mean fair enough if you drive past and they pull you in, or pull you over on the road and defect you or sumtin. are they allowed to pull you up and just say follow me through a few suburbs so we can look at your car, sounds like harrasment or somthing

Sure can. Happed a fair bit last year. Even cars like 4GIVME got done in this way - was seen by other cars in same empty factories and such. I think they had one going off parra rd too.

The one in castle hill was a showground or something. Next to council building. Very dodgey.

can you go to another guy, and also is this guy an old or young guy just out of curiosity?

probably in his 40s

this guy's own son's commonwhore (what else) was louder than my exhaust.....most of the car in his workshop is louder when they were moving them around....but i had to get mine passed !

he didnt even pass me when i rocked up with a full oem gtr exhaust! i ended up wasting $250 for parts and labour + $100 for him to pass the car with his fees (everytime you get tested you get charged!) and a couple of days off from work

one of the biggest rorts around i reckon....especially when there are only 2 workshops to choose from....this one or the one at Campbelltown.

what if you got smaller piping or anything like that between the turbos and intercooler, that will fit or that you can manage to bend around the stock box, then just find a way to disengage the turbos, so the pipes wont even need to run anything, drive it there and back, and your done.

BTW if you change the box is he gonna make you do another emmisions and noise test??

haha now u understand what i went through, but i got off lucky,

all this drama for a Fcukn Pod!

If by "the guy at Campbelltown" you are referring to the Defect Notice Clearance Inspection Station, then i can shed some light for you. To me he appeared quite reasonable and approachable. I had been pulled over on Parramatta Rd and escorted to one of these make shift inspection stations in a industrial factory complex, at which point the examiner was overcome by the quantity of mods before him, Larger turbo's, pods, ebc, cams, cam gears (visible), larger FMIC, ecu, etc, so much so that he generalized the defect to read "all engine mods to comply with relevant ADR's & exhaust noise check".

I took my vehicle to TIC and had it engineered, covered the pods with an aluminium housing (painted black), stuffed a restrictor in the exhaust and generally hid the things i didn't want seen.

Went to the Campbelltown Guy, he took the engineers word for all on the report, no follow-up noise check, no probs with the enclosed pods, passed first go, defect cleared.

BTW every time i'm RBT'd i get asked to pop the bonnet, i produce the Engineers Report, engine bay checks ok, get hassled re noise (have since fitted HKS Silent Hi Power 95db), i assure them it gets quieter with rpm, rev engine to oblige and have thus far been allowed on my way.

Sorry for your pain, it annoyed the hell out of me at the time, i can only imagine what your going through.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      My BMW 335i

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
