i have heard stories that they can sometimes be a little tighter becuase the know the cars not theirs and probably just a 18 year old getting their mum to put it over for them. I know this isnt you case but i guess only one way to find out :cheers:

+write them a letter telling them its your car and u have work bla bla bla and ur mum has to take it over and ur sorry u cant be there bla bla bla

could work, betta than posting up on a forum thiunking ur all good cuz ya dads gonna take it ova i guess

/me keeps running

It was failed on an "oil leak" and one of the boots had slipped off. So..that's being fixed up (again) and in another few days I go over again. Can someone come with me and hold my hand? I don't think I can handle rejection a third time.

i'm down the road, may be free if i can finish my thesis soon enough.

i know the rego inspection is a harrowing thing - my r33 was clean as a whistle but they still said it was too dirty near the engine number. they also didn't like my rims, said the car was too low and the spare tyre hadn't been marked "80kph only". i failed first time too!

they were pretty critical of my compliance workshop - they said, "your car should be able to pass first time straight from compliance. once the car's been through compliance you shouldn't have to do anything more to it. that's what compliance is". they advised me to call for a refund because clearly the workshop hadn't done their job.

that said, they were really helpful the next time through. turns out the area around my engine number is heavily scoured but about six of them gathered 'round with torches having a good look...."ah, the next letter could be a Q? or maybe an O? or a zero?".

edit: meant to add, a good attitude will do wonders. :P

In my and many other peoples opinion, he doesnt know what he is on about. He is apparently an Ex-public Servant who has read a few books and done a course or two. Supposedly he has never spent a day in the trade. I have spoken to many people who have had him inspect/pass their cars and they have been pinged at Rego. You will be back over the pits again. Dont sign or even fill out any papers he gives you or anything like that. Go see Ray Spencer at Canberra Motor Works.

I have passed.

It's a strange feeling having registration.  I still look over my shoulder everytime I take her out though....

It should feel good,not expecting a tap on the shoulder when you take it out....errr....

Anyway,congrats on getting the mighty VR4 legally on the road!

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
