Looking at buying a R34 which is currently in WA but still registered with Victorian number plates, does anyway know what the requirements are to run this car over the pits in WA?

Does the car have to be standard to manufactures specs as the car has front mount intercooler and 19" rims etc etc

e.g the "pits" is a roadworthy certificate for WA

Hey guys whats required when moving a car from VIC to WA.

I know i need to run it over the pits

But his as few mods which ones arnt legal?

This is what the car has.

19 INCH MAGS,

APEXI SAFC 2,

FULL STAINLESS TURBO BACK EXHAUST,

GTR STYLE BODYKIT,

TIP TRONIC AUTO WITH F1 STYLE SHIFT PADDLES,

BLITZ BLOW OFF VALVE,APEXI AIR POD FILTER,

TURBO TIMER, ELECTRONIC SUNROOF,

XENON ELECTRONIC ADJUSTABLE HEAD LIGHTS,

ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRROR,

BLITZ FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER,

OPTIMA DRY CELL BATTERY,

FULL KEYLESS ENTRY WITH REMOTE ALARM,

TYRES 93% NEW,

BOOST,

OIL TEMP & PRESSURE,

VOLT GUAGES

This is based from my experience of having 7 yellow stickers.

19 INCH MAGS - should fail them, max size is 17"

APEXI SAFC 2, - will normally pass, but best to hide it

FULL STAINLESS TURBO BACK EXHAUST, - no problem unless it's too loud

GTR STYLE BODYKIT, - no problem unless it's too low

TIP TRONIC AUTO WITH F1 STYLE SHIFT PADDLES,

BLITZ BLOW OFF VALVE,APEXI AIR POD FILTER, - BOV may get failed if it makes any significant noise, air pod need to be securely mounted

TURBO TIMER, ELECTRONIC SUNROOF, - turn turbo timer off, sunroof should be fine

XENON ELECTRONIC ADJUSTABLE HEAD LIGHTS, - HID may get picked up and failed

ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRROR, ok

BLITZ FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER, - ok if securely mounted and front support bar not cut

OPTIMA DRY CELL BATTERY, ok

FULL KEYLESS ENTRY WITH REMOTE ALARM, ok

TYRES 93% NEW, ok

BOOST, gauges ok aslong as the don't block line of sight to road

OIL TEMP & PRESSURE,

VOLT GUAGES

Cheers

Interesting.....

In vic the rules state that any rim can be 1inch bigger than the biggest rim that was fitted to that chassis from the factory. Ie the R34 gtr was fitted with 18" std therefore even the gtt is legally allowed 19".

Also in regard to the xenons, when the car is complied the xenon globes are removed (supposedly destroyed) and replaced with oz spec non-xenon globe. Unless the owner has replaced these with xenon globes they should be legal.

On a side note I can't believe they check all this just for a WA rego!! In vic when I imported mine and reg'd it all they did was check the chassis and engine no's! You only worry about things like exhaust and ecu if you get the dreaded EPA notice :D

OK well i need to change the xenon lights then before the inspection.

I talked to guys today at the licensing centre and what they told me, all mods should be ok like froon mount and air filter as long as they are fitted correclty.

Also the rims can be 2 inches larger than manufacturers specs, so i think the gt-t standad is 17". the info is inside in the door section of the car.

The other thing is the TV, as it need to be mounted to the brake so it can only be turned on while stationary.

So that covers just about it.

What globes do i go get from the shops, well some cheap replacements?

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
