Hey guys, gonna join sauwa and just I bought the GTR in this thread,

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/344568-r32-gtr-v-spec-ii/

I went through the regs in the sticky and not sure I can make heads from tails, what I want to know is if anyone thinks i'll have trouble getting the car over the pits, the exhaust isn't loud but my main concern is with the cams and coilovers, it looks stock in the engine (you can see from the pics) and has a high enough ride height. No EBC or ECU visible.

If I will have too much trouble with it I can take it to QLD and get it registered before bringing it over here. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I haven't had to take a car over the pits before.

i was in the same boat as you. i brought my GTR over from Sydney and took it over Warwick pits 2 weeks ago - i recommend taking it there!

mines got cams and also fully adjustable ohlins coil-overs, idle is fairly lumpy and the coil-overs are @ above legal height, this didn't concern them at all. mine's setup for 500hp+ but the engine bay looks fairly stock like yours which is a plus, just clean everything make sure theres no oil or coolant leaks, degrease the engine bay and under the car, make sure EVERYTHING works electrically.

also while your there get them to give u permits, i just did the bits you can see like exhaust, my massive FMIC and the adjustable fuel pressure reg, hide any boost controllers and boost gauges.

any questions just pm me :)

Take it over.

This.

Generally the pits are pretty good. Cops might sting you because most don't know what they are looking for, but pit inspectors are reasonable.

From the photos it looks immaculate both inside and out. Eveything looks neat and well done. Cops shouldn't give you a hard time, unless you really ask for it.

Yeh, I agree. Hadn't looked at the photos yet when I commented.

I've always found the inspectors at the pits to be reasonable guys.

Spending their days inspecting 100 year old stuffed Taragos and the like they are usually impressed to see a well presented and obviously loved vehicle.

They'll want you to pass unless their hands are tied (like it's draggin it's arse)

So don't worry, present it as it is and fix any items on the list if it fails.

PS Midland are good guys too

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
