hey!

could someone please help me with a bit of info?

i am about to get my car transported on a car carrier and the rules state to get the car on the carrier i need a clearance of 6 inches all round... I am in victoria and the car is interstate with the previous owner.

i am thinking of getting him to remove the bottom part section of the front bar that hangs down .

is this easily done ? and how is it secured generally?

thanks deejay

if you or someone looks under the bar, it has probably about 10 or so nuts and bolts holding the bottom section of the bar to the top section. If you undo all of these, then remove this bottom lip, it should get around 6 inches clearance but you cant be too sure. All you have to do is measure it and see how you go.

Chances are they just want that much clearance to get it on the trailer etc so they cant be blamed for any scrapes or cracks etc on ur front bar. Also make sure u have 6inch clearance for your entire underbody of the car. Best way to do that is to get a cylinder which you know is 6 inches in diameter and roll this under the car at all points. If it clears all of it then your good to go.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
