went and got an OOP inspection today. failed because i did not have day time running lights as well as my car starts with the clutch released which it is not supposed to apparently. so tommorow i am supposed to go in and get a running light module installed as well as a sensor so i have to push my clutch in to start my car. its going to cost me 250 bucks though. anyone have these same problems when they got theirs done? ---

If those were the only problems, you got off pretty good. No tierod ends ? joints ? brakes ? ---

he said the brakes are pretty much brand new and the suspension is in very good shape. everything else was excellent as well. 😃 ---

why would you have to get the sensor so you would have to push the clutch in to start your car? ---

Its your nuetral safety switch and its there to make sure your car won’t start in gear and take off running. My car doesn’t have it either but I didn’t have to worry bout it for my OOP cuz my friend can do them. ---

Ouch, man for some reason they passed mine and its the same as ures, no daytime lights, and no neutral switch for my clutch. Maybe its cause mine is a 90, or beacause the guy i took it too seem kinda crooked. Mine shouldnt have passed beacuse of the tires, but he said i need new ones and passed it anyway. I poseted a relay pinout for dave, that would be easy to wire and cost like $20 for the lights, but dont know bout the clutch though. ---

I’m pretty sure all 240’s have a clutch bypass so that the vehicle will start without pressing the clutch. My s14 has it. . .I heard it’s meant to prolong clutch life . . . ---

I took my silvia to a decent shop and they dind’t even look for day time running lights, just made sure they worked. and the clutch thing is stupid! I had a '85 civic that you could start with the clutch engaged as well, and it came that way!! so that’s a load of bull! ---

I think the DRL law came in in 91 though, so that might be why our cars were ok, and ures needs it. I could be wrong, but it would make sense. ---

You should have just told them that the car is to old to have a clutch switch. Newer cars have them so you can’t start it in gear and rear-end the car infront of you, such as an 05 TSX. I am sorry but you just got hosed as no S13’s (probably S14’s) ever had one or needed one. And DRL’s can be wired up in as little as 5 minutes with a 5 dollar relay. ---

Looking at the wiring diagrams from the FSM, the USA models had the clutch safety switch, while Canadian models didn’t. Crock of BS. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-failed-my-oop-today/143897.md?page=2)
