About the only think that could have prevented compliance is the tyres, but as far as I am aware it doesn't need to have new tyres, just ADR compliant tyres.

the air filter sounds like someone either didn't do it, or swapped it out again later.

Personally I would be replacing fluids and filters anyway, unless you know the mechanic who did the service and can confirm that it was done.

This is the reason most imports come into Queensland directly from Japan , i found so many cars that were registered in QLD with no ADRs done "AT ALL "no side intrusion bars or seat belts how f...ck does this still happen . Pisses me off when you bring a car into S.A and get butt raped .

Mate, gone are the days of a handshake and your word being enough. It's such a shame. :(

I lost $1000 putting a car back through auction just last weekend on that exact principle, so called friend of a friend...

Depends on the compliancing mob in QLD. My V36 had to be complianced there as my agent knew of nobody reliable in NSW who could do the newer 7 speed autos. Bruce Gearing did a great job and no issues when I had to blue slip it in Sydney.

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
