Hi dudes,

I am mooving to the back to the ACT after living in sydney for 5 years and gotta get my car re registered here. Everywhere i call they ask me what sort of car it is. I say a nissan importand they give me heaps of ohhh, i dont know, ummm mabyee. garbage....

Mycar came in under the 15 year rule and is legally registered in NSW. I just had it inspected a month ago and it passed with no problems but i took it somwhere today and the guy went over the car and just picked on the most trivial stuff. I went on the RTA website and checket what he said and 90% of it was garbage. it comlies to ACT standard he just didnt like me or didnt want to pass the car or something. so i paid my $38 for a list of fails that are nonsense.

I dont really want to get into it. but i just want to know where you guys would go to get your car inspected.

if youcan PM me a place to go to get it inspected i wouldbe very grateful

Cheers guys :)

change a couple of the thigs he pulled you up on, or print what it says on the rta website and go back for a second inspection, its free within 2 weeks. If he still knocks you back, you havent really lost anything and he might pass you

I just had the new "toy" ('89 Nomad van) rego checked to change back to ACT. ACT Brakes @ Mitchell has a actual drive-over pit for rego inspections, and no booking required - just drive up between 8am and 4pm (except between 10:00 and 10:30 I think), and they will inspect your car. My front steering is a little tired, but they didn't consider it worth a fail.

These guys seemed reasonable when the inspected my old Fiat.

i would trust them to scratch there dic, blew up my rotor after it was tuned, tryed to tell me that it was diff noise, i was like what the f**k (it was pinging it head off)

If you still need somewhere PM me and i can tell you whos passed my skyline, many previous skylines, my mates nissan s13 (which clearly was wayyy to loud) and my brothers vtir civic (slammed)... none of the cars they had a problem with... and i've heard of people failing for obvious reasons (ie my brother) because it didnt have a grill in place, they just said come back with it on and we'll pass you free of charge. So its always good to know you basically have a second chance, oh and btw they didnt care if it was import or not.

I used to have work done at Ultimate Tunes all the time, they never did me wrong.

I do find that funny though, because they seem to have more rotors there than anything else :lol:

They have a bit of a name to hold, so I think they do know what they are doing.

I have never had a problem with anything they have done for me.

deleted due to me having a spat and dont want to offend ppl's companys, what happen with my rotor was a long time ago with that company.

Stupid question;when moving interstate to the A.C.T.I was sure you had to do the official Dickson pits,regardless.Isn't that still the case?In which case,you may not be a happy camper...Would you have much to change back to get it roadworthy?Or is a Engineer's Certificate gonna be required?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
