Need Someone To Help Me Complete Vehicle Modification Application


Recommended Posts

hey all

sorta another yellow sticker thread..

went to the pits today, managed go get an extension to the 24th of Jan, which im happy about ;)

but i go that extension because i need to complete the vehicle modification application.

so im gonna need someone who knows alot about this or a profesional to help me complete it.

because it takes sooo long to go through the system i need to get it all right so it wont get rejected.

can anyone help me or recomend me somebody?

thanks

luke

What are you trying to get permitted?

mainly engine mods, rebuilt motor with high mani + turbo etc...

suspension mods too like camber and caster kits, sway bars, rear cradle bushes.

some brake mods too.

also whats the rules about half cages because no one there seemed to know? :domokun:

Welcome to the club mate! Firstly, be thankful for a 6 week sticker because all I ever got was 3 weeks until I went to O'Connor. Guy there gave me a month but even that's not long enough because of how long it takes.....

PM me & if I can help you out I will, but this will get you started:

That's what all mods must comply with now, I'm sure something in there will refer to cages, possibly under body modifcations. With the turbo & maybe other things you surely will have you will need to get an engineering certificate in regards to it's fitment & suitability. If anything can help you out, get that done to hand in with your application & you should be able to get it through sooner.

So far I've applied...been rejected. (3 weeks) Applied again...accepted for pre-approval (4 weeks). Now I'm up to the engineering stage, but then when the papers are done & handed in, I wouldn't expect any sooner than 4 weeks, and due to the time of year it could even be like 6 or so if people are away on holidays/leave etc etc... Got this sticker about the 20th of August, I'm looking at about 5-6 months or so :domokun:

Inspector at O'Connor wasn't impressed saying "you've had over 3 months to get it done!!". "Well, only got pre-approval about a week or two ago so how am I meant to know what you guys want?"

as long as whatever you do is legal/engineered, etc you wont have a drama, but the idea is to get pre-approval, especially for things that may be borderline.

Mates 120Y with fj20det passed , only thing they were worried about was chopped firewall .. engineers cert sorted that n it licensed .. 800kilo car with 240hp :ermm:

While were on the subject of yellow stickers, what are they like if you have cut the reinforcing to fit front bar/intercooler? Im guessing they make you go get some constructed or...?

Can someone please let me know...

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
