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

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......

So hopefully he will read it and be ok with me......

Some of the specs.....

1. Tommykaira coilover suspension

2. Tommykaira wheels

3. Nismo lsd tt pro diff

4. Tommykaira carbon spoiler

5. Tommykaira bodykit

6. Tommykaira logo

7. Tommykaira seats

8. Tommykaira exhaust

9. Tommykaira gearknob

10. Tommykaira foot rest

11. Tommykaira front strut brace

12. Tomei racing fuel pump

13. Tomei 1.6mm headgasket

14. Tomei camshaft stage 2

15. Tommykaira piston

16. Tommykaira pulley

17. Tommykaira clutch

18. Tommykaira gauge cluster 300km and 10,000 rpm with A-LSD SLIP

Edited by FIRE BREATHER

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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
