So i received a canary last night and am just curious about a few things.

Staggered wheel widths as i understand are a no no, correct? (i.e 7inch front 8inch rear)

Removal of the stock wing with LED brake light means i have to install a 3rd brake light in the window. Thats just my assumption but makes sence. Any one clear that up for me?

Finally, I too have been cursed by the dud drivers side electric window switch, so my window doens't go down at the moment. The Officer didn't pick me up on it just thought the inspector at licensing might?

Cheers,

Brock.

PS. if i could borrow anyones stock 33 rims or the day of inspection it would be greatly appreciated. money and/or "the carton" can be arranged.

For the brake light yes you do need a 3rd one in the middle.
A third brake light is compulsory on vehicles 1989 onwards, no more than 1.8m from the ground.

Mine never worked ever since I bought the car, I better get mine fixed soon :P

Cheers for info!

Another quick one, I've heard people getting done for not having any water in there windscreen sprayer. My concern is on of my jets is only shooting one stream instead of two, are they that picky at licensing??

Cheers,

Brock.

Yes, they can pick you for having low water in the windscreen washer bottle.

If it's too much hassle to fix, leave it and see how you go. The chances of them picking it are pretty slim but just be aware that they may ask to see it working.

The nozzle won't be hard to clear. My advice is spend 30 minutes to give it a go and cover all your bases.

nephew is going through a yellow at the moment, they will check the center brake light but you can get them from repco . car must be 100mm of the ground at lowest point with 5 people and a full tank of fuel (cant believe that one), no staggered wheels. if you have a FMIC it must be permited

FMIC's don't need permits

With the staggered wheels/tyres unless it's stupidly different there shouldn't be an issue, I passed quite a few times with 235/45 & 255/40 & they never mentioned anything to me, the only reason the yellow sticker didn't come off was because I was waiting for mods approval....

Sweet deal. Water jet fixed, Installing brake light during the week. Might try get past with the staggered wheels, wrapped in fresh rubber too.

Any one have any idea about the electric window issue? Also I didn't think about this one until driving last night. I have blue lights in the foot area on drivers side and passenger side, should that be an issue??

Cheers,

Brock.

When I had mine done it had to be securely fixed. Others I have seen have stated that they had to be meshed.

Power window issue is probably the same deal I had with mine (units may or may not be similar between 32 and 33.. I don't know). There's a little relay unit that's usually screwed to the door frame, that was dead, got a replacement from a wreck for cheap.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
