Hi this topic may have been covered but i am yet to find any info on these forums. I am looking at getting my r33 registered (has been registered in wa before,complied etc), it has aftermarket gear on it but the main thing concerning me is the coilovers(height,damper adjustable)? i have heard people have trouble taking cars through the pits with adjustable coilovers has anyone recently had any experience with the pits regarding this issue? i am thinking off putting stock suspension on it but dont really want to go spending money if i can still go through the pits with coilovers.

Any info would be appreciated Cheers.

Yes it's true, I'm going through it now with a yellow sticker :D Thread on the main WA page (might not be on the first page anymore) but basically for any mods it has, you will need pre-approval for. Best bet is to apply in advance to taking it over, as it can take about a month before processing your application. Huge backlog, government workers, do the maths.

Any height adjustable suspension will be turned down unless you modify to a way you can't adjust it any more when you have it at the lowest legal point, but why screw up a perfectly good set of suspension to do that when you can just put on a set of stockies. Aftermarket ecu's are no-go as well unless you want to spend big coin on emissions tests, and major mods like big turbos or brake changes etc need engineering approval.

hmm it does suck big time, after market ecus need to be emission tested whats the ecu got to do with emissions isnt that exhaust related? i got the forms for modifications to fill out today, i guess il just fill that out see what the go is put all stock shit on, so does that mean you would need a permit for a power fc or any other aftermarket ecu?

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
