basically the way it works is as follows

the police give you a work order of what they regard as crucial elements to be fixed, you are encouraged to get them fixed, the yellow sticker means you have to get the car FULLY examined

this costs about 80 dorra and the car is examined completely inside outside footwork EVERYTHING is gone over, most times, they will notice "something" else which will mean you'll have to come back anyway, and pay ... either 30 dorra or 50 dorra to be re-inspected,.. so in short, first inspection, they check the police's work order, then go right thru the car from start to finish deeming what is illegal and is not, disregarding what the police say. put it this way, the police are police, vehicle inspectors and vehicle inspectors, sooo what they say goes really

if you can get away with the one inspection then i will be amazed, cos more often than not they will find *something* that will deem re-inspection

BUT if you really are keen on getting over with one inspection, please meet the following checklist

ALL lights are operating (you say your headlight is dodge.. what's wrong with it?)

car is over 100mm in height at the lowest point of the car

your wheels and tyres are of stock rolling diameter as stated per the tyre placard

NO engine leaks, cleanyour engine bay before hand just incase

NO exhaust leaks

bearings on your wheels aren't rattling

suspension check out

seatbelts all retract and extend

window tint allows >35% light omittance

steering componentry is all working, no rattling steering rack whenyou "shake" the wheel

all doors open and close and lock and unlock correctly

license plates are affixed correctly and the rear plates lights work

if you have a pod filter, make sure it's braced to the body of the car

hope this gives you an idea of how they check the car

with the lights yeah one headlight is out... bubba, i just checked out the light again with a few people but haven't actually measured the voltage yet, going to my mechanic right now so he can have a quick look... (he won't charge, i'm pretty sure he won't charge anyway!?)

my car is pretty low, i'll have to figure that one out...

suspension should be alright and i have no leaks whatsoever etc. etc.

going to sort out some new brakes now too so yeah i'll see how that goes, Rowan mate cheers for the advice, will keep you all updated :down:

NEED SOME ADVICE FELLAS!?

i'm at Rhys' place now, i've basically returned my car to standard...

i've taken off the front bar/snow plow

i've taken off the side skirts

he's on R33 GTST stockies

and i've fixed up all my lighting in the car...

NOW only things i MIGHT have a problem with, my exhaust is still on the car, it's not overly loud...

and also, my suspension i haven't adjusted at all... it's still riding it's height that it was before, do you think i'll have to get my sticker extended or should everything be okay?

anything you guys have would be greatly appreciated, cheers

Andrew :D

Yeah man, lets hope you get this off. I didnt spend 5 hours mucking around with you two to for nothing :thumbsup: Altho... we did more "mucking around" then work, but meh.

Mark, your car looks good outside my house, I think I might keep it there. You can have the R33, ok? :)

as long as its 100mm @ its lowest point then you should be fine

throw a ball of fly screen in the exhaust and close it with a baffle, shuts the f**king flamin mongrel up ez ($8 fly screen from bunnings $50 baffle from any exhaust shop or jshop)

all lights have to work, wipers, washers, horn, seat belts

and some inspectors(1 out of 11 inspections) check your demister (yes i failed on a f**king demister last time)

OH MY GOD...

get to licensing centre... everyone in admin had gone to a 'stop work' meeting, if you don't pay for a inspection then you don't get to have your car inspected and so i was thinking what the f*ck do i do now, if i don't pay because there is nobody to pay then i don't get seen and if that's the case then my sticker expires then my car needs re-registering which means more time and $$$!?!

get told that lining up is just going to waste a few hours of my life as well as Mark's, we drive off into the car park (we went to welshpool) and called the DPI, had a few words (we were scared they would have gone to this meeting too) paid for the inspection over the phone with Mark's credit card (as mine is maxed out right now) and went to line up...

when i got there, had one inspector just GLARE at me, was pretty scared but i was in a different line to the one he was looking after, when it was my turn i believe i got one of the easiest and coolest inspectors out there, so casual and it only took like 5 minutes, maybe not even to check my whole car, took it for a spin... said i should get a permit for my adjustable coilovers (that i chose not to adjust last night) he said he'll let me off today and that i should come back later for that permit, my rear window tint he can't do anything about because he didn't have the right equipment to measure what level it's at and that was that!

he took it for a spin and all is well, LOL yeah quite an adventurous today, without Mark i would still have the sticker on and be crying my pants off...

tonight, front bar and side skirts go back on and 18'' Enkei's are replacing the R33 stockies, hopefully i can rip my rear wing off too... can't wait!!!

thanks to everybody on here that helped out and lended a hand/had a chat in the thread... much appreciated by all...

maybe have some drinks next week or something, i'm so happy lol

Andrew :D:thumbsup:;):thumbsup:;)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
