I got yellow as well for pod and not having mash at the front bumper 2 weeks ago .

went to O'Connor with all my mods and adjustable coilovers they just told me to raise the car a bit coz the exhaust part was below minimum 100mm.

It all depends who you get as an inspector sometimes they can be nasty or good to you ...

try to keep it as stock as possible no flashy mods and all you lights & indicators ,seatbelts must work and you will be fine.

if you modified turbo ,exhaust manifold,suspension you will need to fill Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 (VSB 14) from and submit it usually take around 3-4 weeks for form to get processed.

Fees yeah, initial fee is like 87 or something.

Retest 70something.

For the non bookings, if you want first in, get there really early.

I just got there about lunchtime, brought food drink and played games on my phone lol. (Waited 30-45mins-ish)

As for spotting it, I went to the Welshpool one and its next door to the licensing centre there - 4 big lanes with roofs over it so yeah, easy to spot :P

LOL does the oconnor pits accept skylines! hahaha

ok seriously, first inspection fee is $87.40, reinspection fee is $61.00, just go there and you will see which line you have to go to. If you are going for an inspection prior to 830am please make sure you pre-pay your inspection (go to a licensing centre or call 13 11 56 to pre-pay).

Pretty sure it's always been those prices. Farkin bullshit when you have to pay for a reinspection to get an extension when you haven't changed anything... Like when I had to replace the aluminium pedals on my car with factory rubber ones, I couldn't find a factory accelerator pedal so I bought one from Nissan. Was gonna take 4 weeks to arrive so I tried to explain that to the pits. Nope, I had to get the car inspected that week to get a two week extension, then again in two weeks to get another one week extension. Had to pay fucking $185 despite knowing that it was going to fail each time.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
