Jellybean Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My supra jst passed a couple of weeks ago. Put irish plates on little over a year ago and nct'd it in mullingar they only gave me a year and cracked my side skirt. Anyway passed again this time in athlone and looking at the sheet my breaks, shocks and most other things done better this time round (all the same parts) i think nct is a joke. If your car has an LSD, you know they need to do the Brake test on the road. The Brake rolling machine can damage your LSD *You have to tell them the car has a LSD What happened when they cracked your skirt , where u comphensated? Just passed my NCT last week, I will compare last years sheet, like you nothing was changed since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly got sick the wood just flew out from the skirt but yeah they paid for the damage. I never knew that the brake roller can damage the LSD hope mine is ok. Thanx mate i'll know for the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx mate i'll know for the next time. I am sure its fine, mine was done on the rollers too . I never knew it could damage the LSD, Testers dont tell you because they are too lazy to do the road brake test, becasue you have an LSD the brake rollers if I am not mistaken can give a false reading and cause you to fail But it is in there rule book so if they break it they pay for it, they also tried to fail me because I have a Jap rectangle plate. On the RSA website it states they are legal once font and size are same as stated as legal. I normally bring along a print out of the rule book because they dont seem to know the rules themselfs Edited December 11, 2009 by Jellybean (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supra's tax is a killer. I've had mine over 3 years and only done 5k miles tops in it. So be good to get cheap tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
