This is a private workshop. The guy who runs it (Angelo) is easy going and takes a common sense approach to things. Unlike the robots at the licencing centres.

Good luck!

You'll actually find there are a few mechanics who can do this:

I personally used Pebco to examine my R34 GTR, they were decent blokes and happy to help with instructions on how to fix any issues.

As well as allowed me to drive away, fix said issues and come back with no extra cost (on the same day).

Great for minor issues that would normally call for a full re-inspection at the pits.

I got a sticker on my car last night, Will give these guys a try.

whats the sticker for?

I took my v36 there to get WA rego. The compliance shop didnt change over my HID globes before that. I told him straight out, but my car still passed.. Good bloke!

Moral of the story, as long as you dont go in with something obviously illegal or unsafe, you probably have a far better chance with these guys.

Also, in the event that it doesnt pass, they are a mechanics, so they can probably help you change/ fix things in order to pass. Saves you running from the licencing centre to the mechanics all day long wasting your time.

This new system should have been set up years ago. I think the original idea was to ease the back log at licencing centres from all the hail damaged cars coming through.

I have just moved to WA from NSW and need to get the rego transferred and will need to go through the inspection process because the car has a fair few mods, however nearly all of the modified areas of my car are only just out of specs according VSB's and regulations.

So how do they go with suspension heights and wheels diameters etc. that are only millimeters off what they should be legally?

Are most places anal about these things?

Licencing centres are anal about these things, if you catch them on a good day you might get lucky. Catch them on a bad day, and forget it. They will write a list of crap as long as your arm. Once that stuff has been recorded, it will follow you around no matter which place you try and reattempt it. After that, they cant just turn a blind eye anymore if you know what i mean cause its on paper.

I went there and got raped. Defenately would not recogmend going there. Better off at the pits.

I got picked on every little thing and he wanted permits for everything..

DO NOT GO HERE

Well if you went with the above list, I'm hardly surprised...

There is no advantage in going to those approved mechanics if anything the pits might be better due to rushing. I had my sticker off at pebcos after second attempt. They failed me for my head lights being to dirty and the tint. The time before I went to pits and passed with ease they never even said anything about the tint. Pebcos spent over an hour on the car. The approved mechanics go over it more than pits.

The only advantage is the experience. The Pits suck for that.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
