Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[RosieR34]

I went through the pits at dickson today and i got knocked back due to not having an "engine tune up sticker" also for not having an english owners manual and i need all the japanese stickers replaced with english stickers.

Does anyone know where to get a tyre placard in english for the r32 gtr?

They also asked for me to provide stock track measurements from nissan

Seems as if the pits are having a bad day today. I can't be of help, however, I'm interested to know what the "Engine tune up sticker" is for and why you need it?

[Anfanee]

WHAT? dude wow. Fk Dickson. Half of that isn't possible to get.

Dickson assured me it was all possible to get so i will ring a few compliance companies and nissan and see what can be done,

[DAN00H]

when I took mine in, I had a replacment sticker made up re the wheel info (drivers 'B' pillar). Nissan should be able to provide you with any generic under bonnet stickers.

you should still be able to get the PDF of the owners manual somewhere. I've only got a printed workshop manual at home. honestly I fail to see how an owners manual is required - most second hand cars don't have them...

This might sound stupid. But is there nowhere else to take the car apart from Dickson?

[Got a Pulsar]

Pretty sure it's not optional...

When do you get your car back Chris?

Not for Interstate cars. Dickson is the only place A few people will tell you that any certified mechanic can do the inspection but be prepared to do it again at Dickson. Also, Dickson is extremely known for 'Not knowing their stuff'. I would probably suggest for you to take it in, get what needs to be fixed (Ignore the stupid stuff that you know is correct - A few to mention. UV Glass gets mistaken for tinted glass - UV Glass is factory - legal. BOV being plumed back - they will claim it's not when it is. I wouldn't argue it) but on the 2nd time bring back paper work from a mechanic or Nissan saying it is factory or "plumed back" this is normally free but some may charge for it( this is not a mechanic cert).

Also, the list of fixes that they supply is only valid for 31 days - so get that list completed ! haha

Helga and I are very familiar with Dickson now Rosie is up next !

From July 1st all imports must go through dickson motor registry, they are cracking down pretty hard at the moment and recalling imports back again to make sure they stay "roadworthy"

[Anfanee]

They better not call back my car. Otherwise im fooked.

only a small percentage of cars on the roads are NOT imported - do they intend to check every BMW, Toyota, Hyundai??? or, are they are only interested in grey imports...

where is the policy statement about that? talk about harassment, I'd be contacting the media and putting it around on the forums if that's the case. I have mine inspected yearly and fail to see how it can't be roadworthy given I do less than 100km a year.

[GTRKat]

is it out with Chris? drive past everyday and have noticed it amoungst the endless porsches... looks nice and clean

It is. A little diamond in the rough out there eh! Hahaha!

He better not be leaving her out in in the rain, she was clean!!!

Fark that's tight.

[Sinista32]

crap -. I don't know what an engine tune up sticker is, I don't have an English owners manual, no jap sticker or English in the engine bay.

and the Tyre placard in English has gone missing.

far out - tuff on you.

But what about the brakes, rim sizes, oil leaks, blinkers, seats, seat belts, child restraints, lights, decibels etc...

the other stuff is BS...

[Sinista32]

in other news had bay sprayed with engine in (cos it cost too much to remove to tidy up).

Used to be dull grey, now same as body colour (black lower firewall as easier)

the 2nd hand boot with 34gtr wing left to do and a touch up on drivers door.

Hopefully done before the weekend

[Got a Pulsar]

Mmmm looks the goods Richard.

Don't spose you grabbed those bonnet stops? ♥

[Sinista32]

Tommorow Rob. I need to put all the stuff back in and connect it all up.

If I can remember what's what

The Coil Loom's connected to the... something. The something's connected to the... red thing. The red thing's connected to my wrist watch... Uh oh.

[Anfanee]

Giving my Engine bay a complete facelift......... Pics to come when completed. It will look completely different...
