Over the Pits

[morlock]

Hi Guys,

I have to change the rego on my R33 from NSW to WA and was wondering what level of checks are performed and whether I need to worry about mods etc...

Anyone done this or know a shop that can do it who know imports/skylines?

Cheers

I had to do mine when it came from SA.

I went to Welshpool pits, they dont go crazy with the check..... just do a fairly quick one

Thanks, I assume I have to remove my pod and put the stock airbox back on?

Nope, providing its secured properly then there are no dramas with a Pod.

U should even be able to get a permit for it while your there

you will be sweet , i brought my s15 over from syd with pod and exhaust mods . the exhaust even scraped going over the pits . but they didnt care .

for license transfer they are pretty relaxed . its not like a defect inspection

its mostly a mith that the Pit is a licensing black hole (of course depending where you go) Apparently Warwick is a no-go, but East Perth was excellent, took an RX7 over there with rock hard suspension, intake bits, massive exhaust, and while he was fairly thorough he wasn't a bastard. Was taken for a drive and given my plates.

Dont stress too much, just try East Perth and welshpool first.

hmmm that said I went to East Perth and they said my steering didn't return to centre fast enough. wtf? also said my BOV was too loud. Did nothing about the steering and flicked the actuator arm of the wastegate when I went back, no boost!, even got a permit for the BOV

Hi guys

New in these forums - a few posts in the Stagea section... about to (hopefully) take delivery of my Neo6 "family wagon" in a few weeks

I am buying mine from an eastern states import yard - never been registered (newly complied) - so will come off the transporter at my door - then off to the pits for inspection... anyone know if this first time registration will be any different to a transfer from another state that uve said in this thread not to worry too much about??? Its important coz I have the option of getting some parts (rims, lowering, tow-bar) fitted at the yard before it comes over - but wont do the mods til after rego if anyone knows it will be under a closer or different type of inspection coz its the first time????

Thanks

Adam

PS Also thining of getting a custom towball fitted in QLD - would the pits guys worry about it if it looked done right? Or do they need load-rating stickers etc on them legally?

if your mods are reasonable and legal i wouldnt worry 2 much . ie rims are within allowed size difference and cars not 2 low . i dont know about tow bars though .

as your interstate rego is your main form of vehical identification you will need to make sure youve got all the import / compliance paper work and proof of ownership . give the department of planning and infrastructure a call and see what they require . also some states will give you a temporary rego for interstate transfer that might help to .

but give them a call and make sure , essentially youve got to prove ownership and compliance .

in terms of inspection tho everything will be the same , its just paperwork difference .

also i got my transfer at warrick , no probs . if you got a pretty stock skyline/stagea i wouldnt worry at all

Id suggest that a first time inspection of a car thats never been regoed will be 1) more expensive (113 dollars vs 56 dollars) and more indepth as the engineering papers etc will have to be double checked.

i took my car to welshpool... there is an old guy there.. AVOID him..... my exhaust was 5db to loud and my FACTORY BOV is tooo loud....

ps.. any ideas on how to silence ure bov (we blocked it adn the wastegate is heaps louder)
