Yeah I'm coming up to get mine off hopefully, the window's a pain to fix, and they will get your for it man. I just fixed mine a few days ago, but the parts cost $180 :down:

Does anybody have a stock blow-off-valve I could borrow for my trip through?

Also, how hard is tint to get off?

my advice, dont go to welshpool!

in a more high jacking style post, the pits wrote on my form the 2nd time i went through they cant do that correct? as in they cant add to the original list..

They can add to the original list. Really they shouldn't, as the inspectors should be consistent, but they aren't. Seb with his 31 has had way too many inspections than he should have, and no matter what he fixes they keep "finding" other stuff so it's dragged out way too long ;) I know his pain!

Snap! Welshpools my local... i've heard both good and bad things bout the place now :S

Overall it doesn't really matter what pits you go to, as the inspectors can be doing shifts at different pits. The good & bad things is just chance really, as your experience will come down to which inspector is doing your examination.

When I was there getting my first inspection the dude sitting next to me told me he had an S14 which'd failed Welshpool seven times ( :laugh: ) and eventually he'd 'sold' it to a friend and driven to Brookton, took the sticker off, and just asked them to inspect it on the basis it was newly bought, and they were really good, since he kept getting done for things which weren't actually illegal at Welshpool. When he got it back he obviously 'bought' it back again.

As much as that may well just be some dude boasting at the pits, could be an idea for this Seb guy?

PASSED!!!

Was actually quite a pleasant experience... haha

had a couple minor faults. one park light being out (ooops) and said the exhaust height was just on legal limit, but said just wind it up a cm because he noticed the adjustable coilovers and spend $4 on a new globe and on ya way.

Didn't mention anything about tyre widths being different or the 3rd brake light AND no mention of any Im240 test. :blink:

CF Bonnet will not be legal unless the vents are blocked off... makes the vents pointless i know.

dont know about the fenders i would say they are not allowed as they would not have correct crumple zones

coilovers fine as long as the ride height is ok.

you can only have 2 colored panels on a car as far as i know, please some one confirm.

I prebooked an examination at Kelmscott. Saved lining up.

Was in and out in like 20-30 minutes hey.

Coilovers are fine. I passed with them, if anything they helped me pass because my exhaust height was only just legal and he said when i get home just wind up my suspension 10mm or so because he noticed they were adjustable coilovers.

CF bonnets as far as i know are illegal vented or not, due to them splintering instead of just bending in if ya hit someone/thing, becomes sharp.

    • 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.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
