Nissan Skyline R33 GTST

Hey i was wondering if people here can help me, i got the dreaded yellow sticker the other day and it requires i get a RWC and then take it to VicRoads to get removed. Now im more than a little worried about goin for a RWC and here is why, well first off the list of nedded attention that was wrfiten on the sheet is Tyres, Horn, Park Lamps, Ground Height and Air Filter, now ive fixed these all up already but when i put the standard airbox back on the snorkle thingy wouldnt fit on because the FMIC pipe are in the way, i was told that im not alowed to have the FMIC on by the police and they said i will get a fine from epa in the mail and he didnt write it on the list, but i rang the epa and i was told that you can either have a FMIC or a Pod Filter and not both, which is why i put the stock airbox back on, so does anyone know if it will pass without the air snorkle thing on ??

Anyways i have a BOV and boost controller on and i still have the stock ones in my room so i can just put them back on temporarily and the same with a few other things, But one main thing im worried about is my drivers seat, its a Bride fixed back fiberglass one and i have a harness, its installed properly on bride rails but im not sure if its legal or not and unfortinatly i dont have the original seat to put back in it, i have the normal seat belt that i can put back in but does anyone know if the seat will pass ??

Also does anyone know if they will drive it when i go to get aq RWC for it ?? and will VicRoads drive it also ??

The reason im asking is because i have a screamer pipe on it and i dont reckon they will notice it unless they drive the car, i have the stock dump pipe still but its such a damn pain in the ass to change. Someone here must have had toi take there car to vicroads to get a canary removed b4, did they test drive the car ??

Anyways thats about it, there are quite a few other things but i still have the stock parts to put back on it so im good there. So if anyone can answer any of my questions i would be gratefull.

Thankyou.

Just a quick one, what would be best - EBC Green Yellow or Red Stuff

As long as the seat is ADR approved, you'll be right, but you'll have to find out from the manufacturer. Although if it's a fibrglass racing seat, it's probably been stamped with track use only, in which case, put the old seat back in.

Screemer pipes are illegal, as they dont let the exhaust gasses pass through the cat. I am not sure if you will get away with it as Vic Roads are usually switched on to those things as they look out for them. Just might wanna dodgy somthing up to hide the pipe that goes nowhere.

ok cool thanks for the tip, i have the stock pipe so i can put it back on .. Does anyone know if Vic Roads will actually want to drive the car, from what ive been lead to beleive is that they will just give it a quick visual check over to make sure the RWC is good.

Also does anyone know if a Bride seat is ADR approved ?

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
