Pits!

[RICCA]

hey Guys,

I went over the Pits on Friday! (O`connor)

Waited 4 hours to be bascily raped!

Had such a WankStar!

Picking on things such as " need mesh In front of my Intercooler!! "

Need boot realse to work!

Since my Bonnet / Fendors are viberglass he says!! ( U need to take of the whole front end! )

Then he was suggesting my boot was fiberglass!! which it is not! he checked everything being a newb! i got a list full!

At the end he says ITS A SKYLINE I NEED TO CHECK THESE THINGS!!

________________________________________________________________________

Can anyone Confirm if i need these things to be fixed and where is a got PIT place then will be more helpful with jap cars!

Whoooaaa...

Go to welshpool man.

When I imported my car, i asked the pit inspector more questions then he asked me.

A trick i think works is if you know something is borderline dodgy, be upfront and ask them, and say that you are unsure about it. Half the time they will say "Yeah you needa change/fix that, but I trust you'll do it, so i wont worry about it"

The pit inspector i know works at Midland, he modifys cars. Might be your best bet. As far as im aware though you cant have fibreglass bonnet/guards on a car newer than mid 90s or so.

I went to auto power in joondalup, its a workshop that does pit inspections, no waiting just dropped my car off and picked it up later. The guy is a good mechanic so he knows what he is talking about too. 5 Winton road is the address. I took my corolla there to change state plates and he said change a couple of tyres (they were rooted) and all set.

IIRC I don't think you can take your car to those "approved workshops" for a defect notice inspection..

[RICCA]

Well mine is To Complie it in WA as it is from the VIC

So Not having mesh infront of the FMIC is a legal ?? hrmm dnt think so !

i heard from a inspector somewhere you need a mesh or grill in front of a cooler cos if leaves get in there. it can be a fire hazard

[SKYRYAN]

please explain how leaves can catch fire from a cold intercooler

[RICCA]

I think Inspectors wants to pick on everything they were letting an old xr6 ford over with zaust holes and everything the guy says Merry xmas rips the yellow off

But to me he says

Its a Skyline i need to check these things

[ZXY]

i know it sounds stupid, but they have a bumch of laws that dont make sense too. They reckon it can be caught in something between the cooler and the radiator behind it, which doesnt make sense either.

[bubba]

I passed the pits fine with no mesh in front of my cooler.

[MeLSki]

I was told that not having mesh over the intercooler is illegal Ricca, I don't have it on mine, but my car is also very sticker worthy, I'm just lucky *crosses fingers*
