[C yar]

[GTRboy]

ok cool thanks c yar just wondering did you go in the mornign or arvo, i was goign to go first thing so there nice and relaxed and so on....

and was there many ppl wen u went?

[C yar]

i went at about 2.30ish and there were a couple of cars but i dont think that really matter, just cross your fingers and hope you get a nice inspector

if your car is neat and safe you should be ok

good luck

aye

S13's really get picked on for some reason.

I had my r32 for a year with illegal tint etc and never got pulled over once in the 30'000kms i put on. Maybe they arent used to the site of a 32.

Like Zanda said...dont pull your tint off yourself as you will lose your de-misters on your rear window, even if you use a heatgun. Todd uses steam to get it off.

If you have troubles with the more local pits there is Marinos in Kwinana who are very easy to pass with. I got my old v8 over with a silencer gasket wedged in the exhaust.

Good luck! .

Half a day? We have a new record holder

[GTRboy]

yer, well just the tin i think wil b problme as i said, hope for a sunny day and a happy inspector

[GTRboy]

ive borrowed a pod for the moment, but the thing is its only bolted on wid two screws, as it ont fit in propely, (like line up with holes there)

will that pass the pits or do you need three/four?

and ive bolted it down, so it will stay there, just need to know about the screws, etc...

[jmp]

Uhh.. Has it left any gaps at all? I wouldn't want shit being sucked in when the filter should be catching it. I'd also make sure it's nice and secure. Don't take any chances..

[GTRboy]

yer nah its a perfect fit, just well the holes it has to bolt it on to the AFM (i think its called) arnt suited to it, as its a r33 apexi filter (well its made to fit r33's) and im just using it to pass the pits

but it dosent let nythin in, just i need to know if it dosent rattle or nythin it sticks hard, does it need four screws or can i get away with two?

Oh man, i gotta feel for ya. That sucks when your stoked about getting a new car only to have some arrogant jellyback ruin it for ya.

Not all of us have had issues with our imports, ive had mine 18 months and its easily defectable (lowered, big wheels, bov etc). I havent so much as been looked at by a copper, touch wood.

Perhaps he saw the P Plates and figured you were easy prey.

Hope the transport guys help you out. Some of em are really good to deal with... others... not so good.

I would warn against taking any car to warwick.

Took my 2000 Magna over wednesday - failed me for a split brake pedal rubber, and some glass between the dash and windscreen (front passenger window got broken to steal radar detector and glass went everywhere).

All i can say is make sure you car has plenty of rego before you go on holidays for a few months.

Got it passed this morning - another inspector said "gee we really sorted you out". So i suppose it really does depend who you get. Shouldnt be that way though.

[GTRboy]

yer well i passed yesterday, n went to midland, got permits for POD, BOV, n zorst (4" tip, silent at examination)...lol

thanks
