All of that should be ok, but I don't think your bonnet will pass. You're not supposed to have reverse facing vents. They reckon if there is oil flying up and it comes out the vents it will be all over your windscreen and you can't see lol. Just take it over as is and see what they say.

lolz.. mite screw on the protector thing under the hood before taking it there.. i heard turbo-timers were illegal because it keeps the engine running after the driver has left the car. is that correct??

[NISZILA]

I've heard that too, but I'm not sure what the pits say. It may be that you can have them but you can't leave your car while its running or something stupid. Just see what they say I guess.

hehe thats what i'm afraid of. worst case scenario i mite have to take out all the mods and just take it over inspection again. hope it doesnt come to that!

[zerotohundred]

oh yeah, btw. my battery is actually in the boot. lol. behind the rear seats. lol. i really should have done this work way before i got the car.

[Chi100188]

i think all R33 batteries are in the boot so that should be ok but the bonnet might be a prob

[R32 Driver]

ya 33s had the battery behind the rear seats

that bonnet will most certainly fail

turbo timers are fine as ive never had problems with any of my cars going through

make sure the car has a "self arming" immoboliser as you will require one

coilovers is a bit iffy, some pass some dont

just take it over, get a list of what needs to be done

everyone makes it sound like a anal rape but its really just another inspection/test

good luck!

Depends on what Teins you have.

If they are like superstreet where only the spring seat is height adjustable they may pass it. If its like flex which is double height adjustable they wont pass it.

If i can help you with the suspension at all, just let me know

Cheers

Brad, how much is a set of springs to raise the car to standard height? (R33 gtst)

sry 2 hi-jack lol

Off topic.. but CUTE BUNNY!

You will need an immobiliser, eastern states cars aren't required to have one, so chances are you don't have one in there yet. So go get one.

If the car is low, it shouldn't be too big of a deal, mine only has 15cm of clearance at the tip of the front bumber and they passed mine without any issues.

Make sure all of your wipers, lights, safety equipment works.

To save you some hassle, just unplug your turbo timer or set it top not have a countdown.

Hide your boost controller away if possible, it shouldn't be a problem, but best to play it safe.

Minimum clearance is 150mm from the lowest part under your car.. I don't think that includes side skirts but it does include exhaust as far as I know.

Required by law is 100mm clearance from the lowest point of the car (sideskirts, bumpers, exhaust or whatever). The only thing that doesnt get included is flexible mud flaps. If they are a solid mud guard such as late model falcons etc these get included.

Also the law states that this clearance is to be had with half a tank of fuel and ALL seating positions filled.

Hope that helps.

Oh and this Avatar was given to me by a Mod of SAUWA....i could change it, but said person will just change it again LOL....that aside, please take my above comments seriously LOL

[SKYRYAN]

Ohh 100mm is it, well I was spot on that and I had stock suspension

So yeah just jack up the teins a little bit and measure to make sure you're in the clear.

[inthisglass]

pretty sure boot vents are illegal

if they aren't, they really should be

[phenline]

also

-your tail lights will be illegal.

-Your alloy pedals will be

- and your tint looks pretty black.

Alll really depends on the inspector you get and the pit you go to. As mentioned best to just go over and see what they list.

thanks for the offer appreciate that!..

so this is what happened today.. i took the car as is today first thing in the morning.

wasnt a shock when it failed inspection. surprisingly it wasnt that bad!. the dude wanted me to take the bov (its legal) but the guy wanted me to take it off. the car was too low so that went on the sheet as well. and had to remove the racing pedals. lolz. i took out the pedals, went to a nearby workshop ("kyp" not the friendliest lol) and put in a stock bov. didnt have time to raise suspensions so we tried our luck and maxed out the tyres. the clearance was well above 100mm. i'd say it was atleast 125mm. took it over the pits again and then the guy puts a rod under the car and says that its still low coz the exhaust system is hanging too low. .

so i had to run to a friend's work shop (evolution r). the dude took out my exhaust and put a cannon on. now the car will definetly pass but the car is alot more noisy. dont know whats going to happen there. if they say that the car is too noisy, i'm just going to say that its always been like that and i just adjust increased the height using the coilovers. hopefully i can get away with it.

fly screen + baffle = done

and if the cars under 98dB or 96 should be okay

[R DIRTY 3]

Id try playing ignorant and claiming it always sounded like that LOL

Id give it a 75% chance of success

Good luck
