Guest Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 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 ?

Guest Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Forgot to mention it needs an immobiliser fitted, not all states make it mandatory like WA.

Ten Four Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You could run and grab some stockies if someone on here has some, cause they would soften the ride just a bit too.

Guest Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 we have looked and its got the cat there Does not mean a lot at the moment so correct markings on the CAT are needed or it can be seen as a non compliant CAT and it is an interstate vehicle.

Tony de Wonderful Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm pretty sure hi-flow cats are illegal mate. Depends if it's emissions tested right? You can get away w/ a gutted cat at the pits if nobody knows right?

GODZ1LLA Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 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 Its going in at 2pm this arvo so fingers crossed.......

phenline Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 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.

GODZ1LLA Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 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......

syfon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 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.

Nic_A31 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ^^ Arent staggered wheel widths illegal? Running over the pits with any mods is a hit and miss, depends on the assessor...or how much bling you've got.
