Na you wont get fined if u extended ur yellow stickers, thats all u need to do. I try that on my wrex few yrs back, the cops cant do nothing about it when u got yellow.

Yes, pay just over $80 the first time, then just over $50 each time after that. I got my yellow mid-august & have had 5 inspections in total. I would much rather have been able to use that $300 for something else.

Oh, and then end up like me on the 22nd as I'm on my final extension, after which it will be illegal to drive my car on the road. Apparently I wasn't even meant to be given this one, so if you want to a rebel & have a sticker on for 4 inspections over a few months instead of just clearing it go for it.

Got the yellow, had an inspection with a list of things to be fixed up & that included getting permits (mostly due to the turbo). Applied, 3 weeks later get a letter saying application is rejected. So I had to re-apply, 4 weeks later I got a pre-approval letter. (another couple of weeks in between this while I got the car sorted with changing some things over) Got all the stuff done for engineering & then was being told the emissions test I had done weren't what they required & they left it up to me to find out what was. This was just before xmas & new years where everyone is on holidays, so I lost a couple of weeks there. Then I find out from a guy at vehicle safety that what I have is correct for the emissions report, so I lost 2-3 weeks when I could have handed it all in. That went in the week just gone so will hopefully hear back in a couple of weeks time depending on what sort of backlog they have at the moment. Then I can take it over for permits & be done with it.

Oh and for the last few months my car has been de-tuned to 50% power so it's not even fun to drive :D

Lol... but i didnt get charge for that much because the inspection guy said no point to keep coming here so he gave me 2 months extended twice for the yellow so the cops wont be bother about it. So i just leave it :D I only got the yellow for stupid tint anyway and all the modification already got permit for it.

they don't have to give you extensions, otherwise they would just give you x amount of weeks to begin with.

also, just because you already have a work order, doesnt mean it cant be added too. :P

Yeah isn't the maximum extension 14days? How did you get 2 months?

Oh, and how about actually getting the yellow removed in the end? After the unbelievable 2month extension? There IS a timelimit to getting it fixed you know....

Sorry guys i cant be able to tell u guys his name because his my friend friends, hope u guys understand. I been seen him for 4-5 yrs now everytime when i get yellow. Thats why he know me and my cars very well. I got pull over few times when i got yellow on the car for 2 months, the cop didnt do nothing about it when they saw the yellow. Worst to worst if i got the yellow i dont really cared so the cops wont be so annoying. The way i see it even u got permit for it they will just pick u anything to gave u a yellow, that how i see from my point anyway. Oh and the 2 month extension, I take out the dark tint on the window after 2 month thats how i get it off.

do tell which pits/inspector ;)

Midland pits, older big jolly (read: beergut) guy, can't remember his name but he was rather sympathetic to our cause and complimented me on the car and all skylines in general.

Yeah I got 3 3-week extensions from Welshpool & Midland, and a 4 week extension from O'Connor. They are inconsistent as f**k in regards to everything that they do.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
