Bend Me Over Dickson

[Manuel Kasko]

Just checked my letter box and I got a friendly notice from Dickson saying that there is a report that my number plates don't comply (the platic white and black ones they sell)

I have to present my car for a full inspection.

And it has to be in roadworthy condition so I need to put an urgent help out from anyone.

What I know I need currently.

-stock suspension

-stock rims and tires

-stock exhaust from cat back.

What I'll probably need to do.

-remove boost controller?

-paint rusted looking intercooler pipe.

-replace drivers side seat (has padding missing)

And who knows what else

Why does this have to happen before I get my 34

Any help would be appreciated.

[Manuel Kasko]

I honestly don't know how I'm going to do this.

It sucks because I work right beside them as well. I bet they heard it in the car park pulling into work

Wheels and a Diff Back Exhaust I can do.

Yeah I'd remove the EBC.

Maybe you can borrow my 3 x Child Restraints too.

[Manuel Kasko]

Awesome thanks Rob.

Is the diff back something I can fit into a car and kart over home to do or would it need to be put on at your place?

[Manuel Kasko]

So I only have one week because its actually 14 days that I have and the letter is dated 18th

What happens if you don't pass? Do they cancel your rego and you have to trailer it home?

[Got a Pulsar]

Fits in the Boot. Flanged to bolt to a 3" pipe at the rear axle.

It's tiny and oh so quiet.

Surely they can't just bin it right there and then. I'd guess maybe a 28day period to fix and retest. Just a guess.

Lunchbreak? Communicate with them.

[Manuel Kasko]

Cheers Rob,

I'll have to come pick that up either Sunday or Monday if that's cool with you.

Anyone got an r33 seat I could borrow?

Also stock suspension?

I'll go chat with them tomorrow

You should have a further 14 days after that dead line before the rego is canceled.

[dd33]

I have stock suspension you could burrow

[5hiv]

put a seat cover because, they wont be able to see your seat as you will be sitting in the car whole time lol

fix whatever you can but you still going to get failed in the first go. they will find something wrong

Dont stress to much

Also why you looking for a stock suspension, they dont mind having coilovers in the car. (Mine passed with it)

whatever you going to get failed for just fix them as they will only look at what was written down as failed and need to be fixed in your 2nd visit.

[gtr judd]

I can loan you my 32 gtr seat if you need it, I'll need to pull it out saturday cos Im away for 19 days, leaving Sunday lunch time.

[Trozzle]

I'm sure it's already been said, but if you don't pass you still have time to clear it - there's a further number of weeks between the date the defect need to be cleared and when they cancel your rego.

Honestly I wouldn't stress. You'll have your new car by the time you get this one into roadworthy condition lol

[Pattey21]

ive got stock r33 suspension. also got stock catstor and rear camber if you have any adjustable ones in atm

[Pattey21]

dickson is the devil lol

[Pattey21]

if need be i can go over your car to make sure its dickson ready too,i tend to notice everything (anal), just ask stinkypoo.

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey pattey ill come pick up the stock suspension off you on Monday after work as well if that's cool?

At the same time you could check it out for me.

Pretty sure coilovers need to be engineered right?

I'll go pick car seat covers up as well soon.

Nope - the guy at Dicko said I can either put proper coilovers or revert back to stock (I had R33 Coilovers in the rear). They just need to be legal height.

But yeah - you don't get out of your car - they do open your door to read the plates on your driver side door so just whack on a seat cover - you will need 3x child restraints. They DO check to see if it is correctly installed.

I can't offer anything but my recent experience with them so here is a hug-

[Manuel Kasko]

I have a feeling that the 3x child restraints will my biggest issue. Anyone know about boost controllers?
