Looking at buying a R34 which is currently in WA but still registered with Victorian number plates, does anyway know what the requirements are to run this car over the pits in WA?

Does the car have to be standard to manufactures specs as the car has front mount intercooler and 19" rims etc etc

e.g the "pits" is a roadworthy certificate for WA

Hey guys whats required when moving a car from VIC to WA.

I know i need to run it over the pits

But his as few mods which ones arnt legal?

This is what the car has.

19 INCH MAGS,

APEXI SAFC 2,

FULL STAINLESS TURBO BACK EXHAUST,

GTR STYLE BODYKIT,

TIP TRONIC AUTO WITH F1 STYLE SHIFT PADDLES,

BLITZ BLOW OFF VALVE,APEXI AIR POD FILTER,

TURBO TIMER, ELECTRONIC SUNROOF,

XENON ELECTRONIC ADJUSTABLE HEAD LIGHTS,

ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRROR,

BLITZ FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER,

OPTIMA DRY CELL BATTERY,

FULL KEYLESS ENTRY WITH REMOTE ALARM,

TYRES 93% NEW,

BOOST,

OIL TEMP & PRESSURE,

VOLT GUAGES

This is based from my experience of having 7 yellow stickers.

19 INCH MAGS - should fail them, max size is 17"

APEXI SAFC 2, - will normally pass, but best to hide it

FULL STAINLESS TURBO BACK EXHAUST, - no problem unless it's too loud

GTR STYLE BODYKIT, - no problem unless it's too low

TIP TRONIC AUTO WITH F1 STYLE SHIFT PADDLES,

BLITZ BLOW OFF VALVE,APEXI AIR POD FILTER, - BOV may get failed if it makes any significant noise, air pod need to be securely mounted

TURBO TIMER, ELECTRONIC SUNROOF, - turn turbo timer off, sunroof should be fine

XENON ELECTRONIC ADJUSTABLE HEAD LIGHTS, - HID may get picked up and failed

ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRROR, ok

BLITZ FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER, - ok if securely mounted and front support bar not cut

OPTIMA DRY CELL BATTERY, ok

FULL KEYLESS ENTRY WITH REMOTE ALARM, ok

TYRES 93% NEW, ok

BOOST, gauges ok aslong as the don't block line of sight to road

OIL TEMP & PRESSURE,

VOLT GUAGES

Cheers

Interesting.....

In vic the rules state that any rim can be 1inch bigger than the biggest rim that was fitted to that chassis from the factory. Ie the R34 gtr was fitted with 18" std therefore even the gtt is legally allowed 19".

Also in regard to the xenons, when the car is complied the xenon globes are removed (supposedly destroyed) and replaced with oz spec non-xenon globe. Unless the owner has replaced these with xenon globes they should be legal.

On a side note I can't believe they check all this just for a WA rego!! In vic when I imported mine and reg'd it all they did was check the chassis and engine no's! You only worry about things like exhaust and ecu if you get the dreaded EPA notice :D

OK well i need to change the xenon lights then before the inspection.

I talked to guys today at the licensing centre and what they told me, all mods should be ok like froon mount and air filter as long as they are fitted correclty.

Also the rims can be 2 inches larger than manufacturers specs, so i think the gt-t standad is 17". the info is inside in the door section of the car.

The other thing is the TV, as it need to be mounted to the brake so it can only be turned on while stationary.

So that covers just about it.

What globes do i go get from the shops, well some cheap replacements?

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
