does any1 in here know wat happens when you don't get your car in the pit on time...i mean the yellow sticker expired last friday and i couldn't make it to the pit because my car wasn't ready til 5..

you'd best get onto them straight away and explain the situation, they just might extend the expiry date, if not you might now be required to get a permit to take the car to the pits (revenue).

It's a crock of sh!t really, because the car would still be licensed so that should give you the right to take it to the pits at anytime without a permit b/4 the rego expires. Obviously you couldn't drive the vehicle for normal duties once the y/sticker expires.

I think once a certain period of time elapses, they will ask for the plates back, which they shouldn't do if the rego is still current.

If I ever get a licky on my fully engineered (well this is pending ;P) Cefi I will scream :) But, otherwise... just remove said licky and apply straight. They typically come right off without any dramas.

I got a yellow sticker a few months back for being too low, and having non standard seat rails without a permit.

FYI - anyone with yellow stickers dont go to East Perth!!! They are wankers. They went right over the car and pick out bullshit problems. Like the passenger side windscreen washer not working properly (Not life threatening I'm sure). They they gave me a big list of items I needed a permit for - Strut brace, pod filter, bov, aftermarket seats etc all little things...oh...and the remove the locked diff :cheers:

They also made we go to Welshpool to speak to the head of the technical team about my pillar gauges being too wide, even though I had a permit for them already. They wouldn't give me the permit back until got the clear from Welshpool.

Well...to cut a long story short, went to Welshpool. Pillar gauges were too wide and come out infront of the steering wheel, but they couldn't do anything because the permit was for multiple gauges. Took it over the pits while I was there and the guy that looked at the list of things, laughed, called the East Perth guys dickheads and crossed everything out. Never looked at the car, just drove it around the block and took the sticker off. Managed to get away with the locked diff, by saying it had a tightened clutch in it, and the Ogura Racing clutch made it feel that way :kick:

maybe it depends on who looks at your car. I ended up having the supervisor looking at my pillar gauges and threatening that they may have to be removed, even though I had a permit for them. The guy said the supervisor had the authority to overturn permits, which I found out from the technical team later that they have no such authority. A permit is a legal document that they cannot revoke later.

Their reasoning was that I could have changed gauges after the permit was issued, which I didn't. The permit said fitment of gauges, so it didn't matter according to the head of the technical team at Welshpool.

I just thought it strange that even the guy at Welshpool called the East Perth guys dickheads. I have heard from a few other people that they only ever take their cars over the pit at welshpool, especially jdm cars.

I think you will find he has every authority to overturn permits, despite what the technical team may have said. In every situation, items can and HAVE been changed after the issue of permits, contrary to what the legal requirements are for that particular modification.

Wheel track and body height from the ground are a couple of items that come to mind.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
