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......

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.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
