When i took my skyline over the pits the mods were -

18x8.5F, 18x9.5R rims, they failed me on too little tread on the tyres, not the actual rim size

De-cat pipe - didnt have to do en IM240 emissions test and the IM240 was in well and truly at the time

Full turbo back exhaust - they did not do a DB test

FMIC with pod filter and blocked off factory BOV

Coilovers - my car was 105mm lowest point from the ground and they passed that.

I took my car to Welshpool pits, was easy to fix by chaning tyres when i got failed just for that lol.

When did you go over the pits as it is due to De Cat pipes why all this emissions crap started.

^^ Arent staggered wheel widths illegal?

Running over the pits with any mods is a hit and miss, depends on the assessor...or how much bling you've got.

Unless it is factory fitted like with the Series 6 to 8 RX7 staggered rims are illegal.

It is a hit and miss big time but now technical section are working with the inspectors on modified cars and what they need to look for.

But your car didn't come from the factory with those rims/mods.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... I'm assuming the Tommy Kaira group would buy a Skyline and modify it and sell it. Why are you thinking that your car is a special/limited-edition factory car?

We all have modified cars too. But we modified them ourselves, not some famous 'Tommy Kaira'. Your car is no different, and will probably not be treated any different at the pits.

Am I wrong here?

Ohh nah mate, it's definately special/rare. I'll swap cars with ya :)

It was registered over East so it would comply with ADRs, but might clash with WA laws.

And good point, but who's to say they didn't put some different rims/suspension in for compliance etc and put the good stuff back in after it was registered.

All I want to say is that just because those rims came with the car as new... doesn't mean they are going to pass the pits in WA. A different state to where it was first registered(in AUS), not to mention a different country to where it was modified/built. I wouldn't count on that paperwork getting you passed the pits :laugh:

Anything up to 2" bigger than factory doesnt require approval or permits, bigger CAN be registered though, provided you've got a certificate to prove it doenst affect handling, steering, braking, etc, then you'll get a permit at the pits for them?

He should be ok, besides do the guys at the pits have info on factory specs for all the different releases of every car?

DPI doesnt even have a name for Cefiro, just rego'd as "Nissan Sedan", so I doubt they'll argue the Tommy Kaira..

hahah 'nissan sedan' considering they ask mitsubishi for proof that evo's come stock with bonnet scoops u can safely say they'll see a nice sticker that says tommy kaira assume its the name of ur favourite uncle and treat u the same as any other skyline.

To update this guys it wasnt all bad results are as follows....

It needs

Rubber on 2 of the pedals (brake and clutch).

Tint was 2 dark thats coming off in the morning.

And finally the exhaust was too noisy so i got a silencer for it!!

Going back tomoz provideing i get the peddles in time.....

Rims/tyres and suspension was ok.

He went thru the paperwork i took with me to check the tommy kaira bits to make sure they were actually there and fitted as spec sheet :(

Thanks for all the help/advice and imput guys :D

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
