Omfg..a Yellow Sticker :/

[Chi100188]

mmm i got a yellow sticker last night for my spoiler....the police said it was sharp and would rip off some guys arm off if he staggered into the side of my vehicle..!

i was wondering if i could get a permit for my spoiler....and personally i wasn't been smart and he still gave me a yellow sticker when i told him im going home now and im goin to remove it right after

well heres a picture of my spoiler

so yea was wondering if anyone can give me some advice from the Perth or WA skyline forums thanks !! gotta take it to the pits soon

and also when i bought the car the spoiler came with it so i didn't know that they were illegal till now so.....

Cheers

i think for it to be legal, it has to be the same lenght as the car, cant stick over..

but just take it off, go to the pits and put it back on simple

[Chi100188]

mmm but what if i get caught the 2nd time heheh....thats waht i was thinking of before aye mmm i was thinking of getting a profesional to saw it or do something to it to make it jsut the length of the side....so it won't hang on the side...but yea what about the sharp edges? is it that sharp from you guys point of view?

[gazza750]

wings arent allowed to protrude past the width of the boot was the last i had heard legaly but then i heard they are trying to ban that style wing completely

Ring Reno @ welshpool pits he is the top guy there

[MearCat]

hehehe - what the heck are you trying to do? Fly away with that wing?!? I can see why the cops were attracted to your car. Best thing to do is get rid of the wing and put something a little more reasonably sized back on, otherwise you'll probably get more attention from the boys in blue than it's worth. I doubt the pits will give you a permit for that big T-Wing though.

Yeah that wing is pretty gay, just get rid of it, you don't need it to hold your car on the ground, and it just looks too big for the car.

remove wing, and fit bobtail spoiler.

[Chi100188]

see i would put something new on my car if i had the money....reno so whats his full name? and plus the wing came witht he car i mean im not rich but like i would prefer the car to be whole.....cheers so i want ot keep it

Go down to welshpool, and have a chat to them - they will tell you if you can get a permit for it or not.

Its the only way to know for sure.

I had a gt wing on my old car regret it now, I’ve grown up now

I got yellow stickered for it, the guys at the pits told me to take it off as it is not stock. The pits guy said gt wings (the steel/alloy ones) are illegal due to being dangerous, sharp edges and they don’t "give" like plastic/fibre glass when something hits them. The guy gave me 6 hours to take it off (this was a signed agreement similar to a yellow sticker paper) and if my old car was seen on the road with it on apparently they can fine you, and if you cut someone’s arm off (haha, whose stupid enough to put their arm out in front of a moving car) you will be held 100% liable for their injuries and be taken to court by the police as u violate the written contract.

I mean the pits guy could have just been spinning a story, but the car didn’t pass anyway due to suspension.

Sold that car learnt my lesson not to do anything to drastic to the car, because cops are like magpies, there attracted to shiny objects.

Easiest way to do this is get a couple of rubber grommets and take the wing off before you go to the pits then u wont be signed up to their little scheme, and put it on when you get home. When I was at the pits this guy with a supra which I see a fair bit with a gt wing, he always takes it off to go to the pits.

I got a permit for my GT wing....for yours, there are no sharp edges...jsut the mounting position and the width.

your spoiler sticks out from back of boot and the width is wider than the vehicle...

so cannot get a permit..

I went to east perth pits, that proberly why i got such a hard time though

[Chi100188]

hmmm so basically its gotta be inner and shorter hahah well i guess the only thing i can do is get rubber gromets for the mean while and stick it back on as said when i get home lol how long does the pits take? mmmm and prolly put one of those GTR looking ones on later in life so definately a no no i guess but yea how much are these GT wings worth when their brand new? liek mine?? gromets here i come hahah

[Chi100188]

another question..... like do u take the illegal stuff at home first or do it at the pits and anyone know where i can get one of these GTR wings?

Cheers

[michael87]

take everything that u kno is illegal at the pits off, otherwise its just making more trouble for your self, and you will have to pay to go over the pits again.

how long will the pits take? well that depends, they do a pritty good check over the car, and take it for a drive. If you need permits now is the time to get them done.

As for GTR wings, most spoiler shops make a "copy" one, but u can get a real one from nissan but they will be pritty $$$. Try places that sell bodykits

[Chi100188]

mmm...i guess my car is fully stock apart from the gear knob, air filter and wing and a muffler lol...i got a permit for the filter and im taking it as the muffler is ok too i will take the wing off.....spoiler shops can u give me a name or something of a couple? im located south of the river lol i would order from nissan as i have for most of the products that where missing in this car and u are right tey are fortune makers !! hahah
