Right guys and girls going to the pits tomoz with my tommy kaira skyline i bought from over east....

Anyway was wondering what they will be checking i gather brakes lights all electrical items etc

But i am worried about little things like the suspension as its fairly rock hard and virtually no play in it?? plus it has no cats on it and a 3" straight thru exhaust.

Should i be worried about these 2 things?? car is on coilovers i think? and i have measured the car height and at its lowest point its 120mm off the ground i am under the impresion it has to be over 100mm??

Also the rear tyres are about 1 maybe 2mm above the wear indicators they are 265.35.18s and ubber dear for new ones (got some quotes at around $400 a side) :thumbsup:

Anyway is there anything else they may fail it for ie fmic bov etc etc

I aint gonna sleep tonight!!

In short terms, your f0cked. Be prepared to replace things to factory or lesser performance ect. No cat's are $10,000 from memory, they might take visa lol.

Dude, dont take it over with no cats. Its a massive fail and they can fine you for it.

Put new tyres on as they will likely pick them if they are close to being done.

Cancel your appointment and sort out your issues first is my opinion.

Clint Visa is fine, but i dont think they take AMEX lol

Were is xspeed??

I am in bunbury, that would be great though :(

what about suspension will that fail being too hard?

It's a workshop/garage just near Freo.

If you want to use it just let me know and I'll tell 'em that you are gonna borrow it.

To be honest you would just be better off getting a hi-flow cat installed properly, but up to you.

I had my R32 go into the pits with stock suspension, turns out front right was leaking so I replaced it with a full set of bilsteins. They were seriously solid. Got the same inspector twice and he passed me the second time. (Bear in mind I sent my old man on both occasions and didn't go)

I'm pretty sure hi-flow cats are illegal mate.

And yes that is your cat . On another note that wing is fkn huge, can you actually see out the rear view window with that thing there?

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The vendor you bought from is a dickhead who can't tell the difference between AWD and RWD bearings. Their eBay listing is one of the first hits too, and is wrong. Any other hit shows the ones that are on your car. A search for GTR rear wheel bearings, unsurprisingly, finds the one you have from Shift. f**king muppets.

      Got the flat door cards "good enough" for now. After cutting out the arm rest I removed all the stock trim material. Then filled the gap with a bit of Masonite and wrapped it in some adhesive foam to hide the  transitions as much as possible. Then I applied some black vinyl material to the panel with some spray on contact adhesive smoothing the edges as best as I could. Here is how it sits in the car with the door handle and cut down window switch mounted

      R32gtst rear wheel bearing

      By R32gtst1992 · Posted

      Ok so I have a little bit of an issue. So I have a 1992 r32gtst and trying to replace the rear wheel bearing and spindle the research I’ve done shows a different style bearing than what is currently on my car. So the picture of the new bearing with the box says it’s the correct bearing as does my research but the picture shown of the old bearing is the one that came off the car. I’m a bit confused the new bearing has an ear on it that I’m assuming goes to where the top of the ebrake shoes mount as to where my old bearing does not. Any help would be awesome

      What in the absolute mind f**k. Generally speaking, you cannot diesel a petrol engine without sparkplugs which you don't have since you're disconnecting battery.... Something is very fishy here.
