You are playing with death turning up with no CATS fitted especially with the current IM240 Issue, they will ask for a 5 Gas that is for sure. R33's from memory pass compliance with a 91006 SUPER CAT fitted so if your exhaust has a De Cat pipe fitted you can buy them Pre Welded with flanges so if an interstate car fit a new one.

Just seen the image of your CAT and it looks fairly new so might be ok unless it is a shitty cheap arse Chinese one.

You don't want to loud an exhaust either as they have dB meters at the pits.

For electrical check everything down to the licence plate lights and look for a Centre High Mount Stop Light on your car since you don't have one on the wing.

If the suspension is too hard and no play they wont pass it, 100 is the limit with 4 people in the car so even at 120 they can fail it if they want which I have seen.

Check the tyre placard in the drivers door because if not for those rims it will be gauged of R33 stockies, rolling diameter is fine but the width no chance. Front and rears need to be the same width, you might get away with that only if other faults aren't picked up on.

DPI links below give a bit of an idea but go once and once only.

Alternative road wheels

Modified exhaust systems

When is approval required ?

Cheers for that and thanks to everyone for the quick help/advice :(

I think i will take it now tomoz after all and see what they say as for the tyres

They are the Tommy Kaira split rims

fronts are 235/35/18

rears are 265/35/18

It also has a 3rd brake light in the rear window

so u are trying to rego it for wa? yellow sticker? or?

why did u buy from eastern states without checkin into this first..

suspension has to be stock, everything has to be stock, they often ask for other stupid crap ie eye level height break light - the one on ur spoiler has to work-if u take spoiler off meant to buy one of those gey ones from autoone etc etc

once again 'STOCK' ie NO mods

Edited by Char

I did look into it i knew it would have to go over the pits to be registered here in WA, but with it being what it is ie not a stock skyline from the factory what can you do???

Its like having say a escort rs 2000 and an escort rs cosworth isnt it, same car but both differant in many ways......

Yeah i should get the mrs to take it but she cant drive :D

Its going in at 2pm this arvo so fingers crossed.......

I have been over with no cat on a gtr once they never cared but obviously told me to get one put in. Also never been told to have a permit for a front mount and have been over in about 3 cars that have had them and none of then even had mesh over. They might care if your wheel widths if they are staggered. If your exhaust is to loud you can just put a silencer in there, as i did after they made me to a DB test ( i got 96db at 3000rpm). You should be fine it is sooooo easy everyone just makes it out to be a hell hole were they will throw you in prison / fine your ass off if you dont pass or something. Usually it takes two shots, the first time over they will tell you what they "think" is wrong with the car then you come back with that crap fixed and you will pass in about 10 mins. Personally i have found stock rd pits the best but i know it doesnt really matter just luck of the draw.

cheers yeah thats it with the exhaust i think too, ie just get a silencer if too noisy...

I think personally they are gonna pull me for the tyre widths being differant, but i have printed off the official tommy kaira sales brochure with it saying on there the specs which mine is......

When i took my skyline over the pits the mods were -

18x8.5F, 18x9.5R rims, they failed me on too little tread on the tyres, not the actual rim size

De-cat pipe - didnt have to do en IM240 emissions test and the IM240 was in well and truly at the time

Full turbo back exhaust - they did not do a DB test

FMIC with pod filter and blocked off factory BOV

Coilovers - my car was 105mm lowest point from the ground and they passed that.

I took my car to Welshpool pits, was easy to fix by chaning tyres when i got failed just for that lol.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
