Hi this topic may have been covered but i am yet to find any info on these forums. I am looking at getting my r33 registered (has been registered in wa before,complied etc), it has aftermarket gear on it but the main thing concerning me is the coilovers(height,damper adjustable)? i have heard people have trouble taking cars through the pits with adjustable coilovers has anyone recently had any experience with the pits regarding this issue? i am thinking off putting stock suspension on it but dont really want to go spending money if i can still go through the pits with coilovers.

Any info would be appreciated Cheers.

Yes it's true, I'm going through it now with a yellow sticker :D Thread on the main WA page (might not be on the first page anymore) but basically for any mods it has, you will need pre-approval for. Best bet is to apply in advance to taking it over, as it can take about a month before processing your application. Huge backlog, government workers, do the maths.

Any height adjustable suspension will be turned down unless you modify to a way you can't adjust it any more when you have it at the lowest legal point, but why screw up a perfectly good set of suspension to do that when you can just put on a set of stockies. Aftermarket ecu's are no-go as well unless you want to spend big coin on emissions tests, and major mods like big turbos or brake changes etc need engineering approval.

hmm it does suck big time, after market ecus need to be emission tested whats the ecu got to do with emissions isnt that exhaust related? i got the forms for modifications to fill out today, i guess il just fill that out see what the go is put all stock shit on, so does that mean you would need a permit for a power fc or any other aftermarket ecu?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
