Hey just wondering if you can decide on which pits youd like to take your car to for inspection??

Apparently Welshpool pits are a little more lenient!!

Problem is i just put coilovers in my 34, and really dont want to put the stock suspension back in, anybody here been over with coilovers in and passed?

Also i dont know how the whole thing works, never taken a car over so a little help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

yeah u can pass pits with coili's just make sure ur car is 10cm off the ground at the lowest point. also u can choose what pits to go to.

um u pretty much rock up at the pits examination place EARLY ( around 8-9am) then u just wait in line till its ur turn to get inspected. also u will have to pay ~$80 for the fee's.

hope this helps.

Hi mate, I brought my car to the pits at Welshpool for compliance. Only just made the 10cm clearance and they were pretty relaxed at inspecting the car. Heard from my mate that they are one of the most lenient around too

Welshpool knows what they are lol...

bring a good amount of $$$...

roll your car on stockies... oh wait, yours has awesome stockies anyway so don't worry...

make sure it has a rear bar :unsure:

i think you're set to go man as far as i can think of since the last time i saw your car...

make sure the BOV isn't a loud bitch and is plumbed back and umm... the car has to be the lowest (at a minimum) 100mm off the floor with a full tank of fuel and be seated with grown adults to the cars capacity, GT-T - 5 people

if your coilovers are stiff enough it should be alright, if anything then just use some of your $$$ and get a permit on the spot, easy as, you're already there and you'll never get picked on for it ever again

dude, don't worry...

i'm broke as a f*cking corn farmer living in the sahara desert...

trust me, as for permits i have no idea how much it is but i meant bring the cash for the permit down just in case they rape you for the coilovers...

because if they don't like them and you don't get a permit, there's more unnecessary $$$ spent on an extension for the sticker and you don't want that...

end of the day, just try for it... try and get your car as stock and clean as well as tidy as possible, no loud BOV and go for it, should be okay man

let us know what happens (i'm sure you will anyway)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
