i would just like to thank the rather kind police man(and woman)

that mannaged to pull me over tonight and yellow sticker my car just to make sure that "my car is the correct height(as it was complied @ that height), my exaust is not to loud(also complied with exaust), to make sure the pedals my car legal (once again), and to make sure my rear wing is "secure".

on the other hand i would like to say GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEGAL FOR ME.

well what else can i say i was pulled over tonight for an RBT (random breath test) and the police man had a look around my car (nissan 180sx) only to come to the conclusion that my pedals we not legal he didn't like the look of my gear knob (razo) my exaust was a "little loud" for him and my wing did not look safe

when i informed him that my car came with the pedals, knob, exaust, and that the law behind wings was that it had to be within the cars length and with he suddenly took a disliking to me

walked off to his car and radio'ed another unit to come down and inspect my car (1/2 hour later) the car turns up and tells me that my "wing" could affect the areo dynamics of my car and that for there and my piece of mind i should have a yellow sticker so i can go spend more time/money making sure that my car is clearly legal so here we are slightly pissed off and 1 rather unsightly yellow sticker as a bonus i would like to just end this by saying once again

GO SOLVE SOME REAL CRIMES AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME MAKING SURE MY CAR IS LEAGLE FOR ME.

had enough of this type of thread been lots before

get your permits and even then they can sticker you

bad luck just go to welshpool lisencing centre ask for reno and if you have permits for your mods they'll take your yellow off for free

if not get your permits and be done with it.

also the areo dynamics of the wing has nothing to do with it. its wheather or not its a safety issue particulaly the end plates.

your gear knob is illegal unless it has the h pattern on it, but most places and cops let it pass, same as the pedals.

the exhaust is on there judgement nothing u can do about it.

      @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline

      Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.

      Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best.

      I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
