I was told that not having mesh over the intercooler is illegal Ricca, I don't have it on mine, but my car is also very sticker worthy, I'm just lucky *crosses fingers*

Was the guy that you had an Italian looking guy. Slightly short and chubby? that’s the guy i had when i first took my car over, he was picking on stupid little things and he was trying to tell me that he could have my car destroyed if he wanted to which is total crap! Little Hitler. he gets a tiny bit of power and it goes to his head.

Any way i took it back to o’connor again and got tall old bold guy and he was very polite and friendly. it went over fine. took all or 10 seconds of the him to check the car was ok and didn’t even bother to check a few things on my list. He was talking to me about how he liked skylines, the new 35GTR and about ripping skids in his wife’s V8 lol

i don’t think it makes a difference where you go so much as who you get when you go.

Oh and if anyone is having to go over the pits and has a fairly low car i recommend you get in the line for the pit closest to the entrance gate because the edges of the pit are a little lower on that one. All the others have a small drop off in the concrete where as this one does not. My car has just less than 100mm clearance and i was worried about it but went over that one fine. Also don’t go over with too much fuel in the tank because that will drop you down a fair bit.

Damn... this sucks Ricca. I've only ever had one yellow *touches wood* and I went to Welshpool. They were pretty good to me. The guy even gave me this booklet and said, "I see you want to mod your car so here is a booklet of guideline" Couldn't believe it after all the horror stories I'd heard haha

I can pretty much guarantee you wont get over with the fibreglass bonnet/guards, unless you know someone. Also i doubt youll find your intercooler is actually cold...... it just cools down the hot air passing through.

1st time i went over the guy didnt care about bonnet / guards he was a good guy he race's V8's or some doodle he only did me due to shockie leak and bold tyers

so i got coilover and fixed everything 2nd time this guys picked on everything (different guy )

Well i will try my luck on wenesday at Whelspool so touch wood it works out!

Only thing I reckon they might balk at if they're not in the "know" is the "twin" turbo thing (like insurance companies flip out).

Swapping engine as i know need Enginerring cert or complaice plates or something to 100% sure

but yersh might see u their will be going very earily!

Only if it's vastly bigger or different than the original engine.

It was as simple as change the engine number from RB20xxxx to RB30xxxx :D

I went to Midland also, booked the earliest available appointment (7:30am I think it was) which might have been the key to getting a nice inspector.. I think there was 3 or 4 lanes and he probably picked my lane as after talking to him, he rather liked skylines and thanked me for driving my car :D

Hmm actually, that was 2nd pass.. now that I think about it I think I got the same guy both times, first pass rego'd the engine and just found some minor stuff like an exhaust hanger off, a split boot had to secure the pod filter and a bit of piping better. Second time over he just checked the items he noted the first time and off came the sticker.

Maybe with the booking system they can utilise the inspectors better so that instead of being so random (and swamped), you get an inspector that knows your type of car..

Midland are pretty cool, got my pulsar re-rego'd there.

There is a place in Geraldton that I got my Torana inspected, he pretty much let me do the inspection myself and let me recitify most of the problems there and then, lol.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
