yeah thats a pity about the compliancing, hope all goes well

If you ever go down the importing route again and with the exchange rates i wouldnt recommend it any time soon but Phil's mechanical service in perth is the best. He has never had a car come back from the pits that didnt pass

yeah i would make sure i got it done by someone here in perth if i was to do it again. Though i have to say after all this i dont think i will be doing it again.

Its just far to much stress, waiting and i have already had a day and a half of work which is not really too good, and I am still going to need more time off to go to the pits again.

I just realised i dont need the standard tyres to put it over the pits i need to have 245/45/R17s because thats what i have on my tyre placard. at the moment i have 255/40R/17's on the back and 235/45/R17s on the front.

I called the DPI today and talked to one of the technical expert guys to see what i would be able to get away with and he said i can not have the 235's because you are not allowed to go lower than what you have on your placard.

I am hoaping that i can get away with the 255's and just change the front but im not sure? i could not remember off the top of my head what i had on the car so the guy could not give me an answer but i think i will call again in the morning and see what they say now i know what i have got on the car at the moment.

Does any one have a set of R34 wheels with 245s on them that they would be willing to lend me to get my car over the pits?

have 235 on the front at the moment and 255 on the back.

I think if i get pair of 235s for the back i would get away with it because the front abd back will be even and they will be 10mm under which i think im alowed but i really dont want to get there and have them send me packing again over 10 bloody mills.

thanks.

Got spare 34 wheels here too bud. 99% sure the rears are 245, havnt checked in a while. Let me know asap but coz I fly out to Tokyo this Saturday, but I've got Friday off work and u can just give me my stock airbox and wheels when I get back November 2nd-ish. I dont have ur number anymore coz Monga ate my fone on the weekend. Got the same number but so gimme a txt and I'll reply if I'm not too busy playing Snake 2 on this temp piece of crap.

It sure did :P

would not have been able to get it done if it were not for brandons help. And my girlfriend who had to do a lot of the running around for me while i have been at work.

now it is just a matter of trying to get the car all cleaned up. and getting the big yellow egg stain of the back :D

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
