My Stagea is arriving on the boat in Perth on the 11th of December and i hope to pick it up on the 12th. I really want to drive it straight to the licencing centre and get the plates. I heard you have to wait all day at Welshpool. Any suggestions from those in WA where to take the car to minimise time and hassle?

our two stageas got done at welshpool..we got there early in the morning and were home couple hours later after everything had been check and plates issued and everything else :O if your taking it straight from the boat to the licensing centre make sure you have a temp permit..dont want to get pulled over by the cops :blink:

yes u need the permit its about $15 to get one and u can speed everywhere with no plates on and get flashed by multinovas and no one gives a shit haha, also dont goto warwick pits as they are wankers and ive heard welshpool and east perth are reasonable and not picky as hell. allow a few hours at the pits and get there early as suggested.

I have put a couple of cars and bikes over the pits at Kelmscott over the last few years and I have always found them really easy to deal with, and the guys that I have dealt with all seem to be really clued in to what they are doing. Where ever you decide to go, just remember that your attitude will have a large part to play in exactly how anal they will be, so play nice, use your manners and you will be fine.

i went over in oconnor it only took 1 hour of waiting and the actual inspection took 10 mins total

make sure you have the ORIGINAL copy of your invoice from the supplier in japan they were really anal about it no copies or printouts

depends on the officer inspecting your car and your attitude mine was passed with 18 inch rims on it and he told me that as it was a personal car and not a dealers car he would pass it but technically its a fail as its not stock

on the transport website there is a list of all the places that do it that are private contractors they would probably be easier to go through

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
