Pits Tomorrow What To Expect....

[GODZ1LLA]

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)

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.

Exhaust = your stuffed...

Tyres depends, camber wear?

Nah i am 33 been driving 15 years!

I just have never had a car go over the pits before thats all

[R DIRTY 3]

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

[GODZ1LLA]

No camber wear at all

Should i just cancel in the morning then and sort the exhaust out before i go?

i dont wanna be wating the test mony and permit money to drive there to already know it will fail

[R DIRTY 3]

With out a cat, you have no chance in the world of passing...but you do have a chance of a 10k fine for it LOL

(DOubt they would do that, but your warned)

[GODZ1LLA]

Yeah gonna cancel the booking in the morning then and tell the guy why (shane ward bunbury)

No point going knowing its gonna fail!!

Do they have 2 cats or 1??

is 1 enoguh to pass?? if so which one??

Stock turbo back system of mine is in storage at xspeed if you want to use it? Includes factory cat which is quite old but better than nothing.

[GODZ1LLA]

Were is xspeed??

I am in bunbury, that would be great though

what about suspension will that fail being too hard?

[GODZ1LLA]

Just been checking the exhaust system out guys and here goes...

From the block to the manifold (extractors i think they are called here) that goes direct into the turbo

then out the turbo there is a twin neck pipe that goes into a 3" system BUT....

about were the handbrake is there is a smaller piece of oval shaped canister about 16" long is this the cat or a muffler middle box?? after that it carrys on with the 3" system...

It's a workshop/garage just near Freo.

xspeed

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.

[thunda]

chances are it may be your cat Gerry

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)

[GODZ1LLA]

Is this the cat then??

sound so stupid but i know nothing about skylines

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?
