Where in Perth can i get permits for my mods, and because i have permits does that mean its foolproof for when cops decide to pull me up and try and give me a yellow, please bear with me as i dont know much about about Perth laws as back in NZ you can put pretty much anything on your car and get away with it,..I cant afford to be yellowed as it will f**k me up for work

The Pits/Licensing Centres can issue permits for small things like coilovers etc.

Anything crazy (brakes, cams, turbo etc.) would have to be done by an Automotive Engineer.

depends what it is,

i am going through engineering for my build at the moment, but its a 2.8 with a big single, half cage, suspension & brake mods.

but

you need to submit the paperwork to DOT and they will respond with approval in principal. then you engage and auto engineer who sorts it all our for you.

Would DOT really approve of this, street driven?

My 32 is not running and I'm scared of even letting the rego run out haha

The mods i have carried out so far, are 3'' turbo back exhaust with hi-flow cat, adjustable coilovers, front mount intercooler, BOV, Pod filter and 18'' rims.. I just want permits foir those mods to prevent a yellow sticker, or do you guys think i can still get one even with permits?

Well I'm in QLD and when I transferred the my r32 gtst into my name, pretty much same mods as yours

They didn't look over the car or anything.. But I wasn't re-registering.. So yeah different ha..

I can say no to pod filter.. That won't pass. (Unless its secured??) but stock air box is better anyway..

Do you mean can't have an external gate venting to atmosphere? Or no external gate at all?

Cant have external gate venting to atmo, untreated exhaust gas = big no no

Yeh this is obvious; Hattori didn't specify though. Just said no external gate. I was quite sure a plumbed in external wastegate is fine, though I haven't been through the process myself, so just wanted to clarify.

I bought my skyline over from NZ and it had pretty much the same mods. It passed the pits, I got the permits and havent had any problems.

You need to get a copy of the rules from DOT for modifications that are legal. Some people mistake permits or engineering certificates for a "do what I like and get away with it" permit. For example, if you lower your car to 2cm off the ground, you will never get a permit or engineers certificate. You need to mod within the rules as well. Just something to keep in mind.

How have you got a permit for your adjustable suspension? i got a letter of approval in principal but its saying I need to have 1/3 of the original suspension travel and a engineers report. There is no way the BC coilovers are going to have 1/3 of the original travel. I've started the hunt for standard suspension to get over the pits

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
