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?

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      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.
