Pits Question

[zonk]

I'll start by saying my car got yellow stickerd on saturday for a loud ehxuast.. Now what I need to know is whats the deal with taking ur car to the pits? Is it easy to spot the place to line up place if im the first person there.. Also does the O'Connor pits accept skylines? ... And is it hard to get a booking at any of the other places ? because my car will be unlicensed by the 14th if i dont get it down there before that date..

THANKS!

I got yellow as well for pod and not having mash at the front bumper 2 weeks ago .

went to O'Connor with all my mods and adjustable coilovers they just told me to raise the car a bit coz the exhaust part was below minimum 100mm.

It all depends who you get as an inspector sometimes they can be nasty or good to you ...

try to keep it as stock as possible no flashy mods and all you lights & indicators ,seatbelts must work and you will be fine.

if you modified turbo ,exhaust manifold,suspension you will need to fill Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 (VSB 14) from and submit it usually take around 3-4 weeks for form to get processed.

Are there any fees for going over the pits and if so do you still get charged for failing?

[zonk]

THanks for that will check the link out now.. Btw whats the deal with going in on the mornings ? just go early as possible and wait im guessing or?

[Ten Four]

Fees yeah, initial fee is like 87 or something.

Retest 70something.

For the non bookings, if you want first in, get there really early.

I just got there about lunchtime, brought food drink and played games on my phone lol. (Waited 30-45mins-ish)

As for spotting it, I went to the Welshpool one and its next door to the licensing centre there - 4 big lanes with roofs over it so yeah, easy to spot

LOL does the oconnor pits accept skylines! hahaha

ok seriously, first inspection fee is $87.40, reinspection fee is $61.00, just go there and you will see which line you have to go to. If you are going for an inspection prior to 830am please make sure you pre-pay your inspection (go to a licensing centre or call 13 11 56 to pre-pay).

Jeez, that's expensive (Or is it always been that prices?).

[Hanaldo]

Pretty sure it's always been those prices. Farkin bullshit when you have to pay for a reinspection to get an extension when you haven't changed anything... Like when I had to replace the aluminium pedals on my car with factory rubber ones, I couldn't find a factory accelerator pedal so I bought one from Nissan. Was gonna take 4 weeks to arrive so I tried to explain that to the pits. Nope, I had to get the car inspected that week to get a two week extension, then again in two weeks to get another one week extension. Had to pay fucking $185 despite knowing that it was going to fail each time.
