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.

What he said, but yeh u will defenitly need to get some cats on it b4 u go over, id say he will do u on the rims to, id hope for your sake that you arnt on P's

Coils - hit and miss

Exhaust = your stuffed...

Tyres depends, camber wear?

I've got a stock 33 GTR exhaust you could potentially borrow...

EDIT: whoops cat :thumbsup:, still on my car, no you cant have it!

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

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 :thumbsup:

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??

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...

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.

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.

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?

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
