Ive bought a 33 gtr vsepc in sydney and am bringing it up to townsville once Hills Motorsport get me my magic numbers at the wheels. I was wondering if anyone here in townsville knows of any "modification friendly" transport approval stations that are a bit more lenient when issuing safety certs????

Dont know about townsville but I just got a little Blue Slip from a guy in the phone book. It cost me an extra 80 $ for him to approve it without the VIN number attached to the car and no cluth or brakes to speak of. * I had just had the car painted and its brakes and Clutch will be done on monday :(

In QLD, most approved inspections stations are located in petrol garages,

And if your looking for lenient AIS, you might get away with getting a road worthy, but are the cops goin to be as lenient when ya get pulled over??

And defects are from $75

Then if its a major defect you'll have to take ya car in to be put under the pits at qld transport, to make sure it is roadworthy, and inspection and booking fee is around 75 bucks as well i think.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
