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.

When did you go over the pits as it is due to De Cat pipes why all this emissions crap started.

^^ 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.

Unless it is factory fitted like with the Series 6 to 8 RX7 staggered rims are illegal.

It is a hit and miss big time but now technical section are working with the inspectors on modified cars and what they need to look for.

But your car didn't come from the factory with those rims/mods.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... I'm assuming the Tommy Kaira group would buy a Skyline and modify it and sell it. Why are you thinking that your car is a special/limited-edition factory car?

We all have modified cars too. But we modified them ourselves, not some famous 'Tommy Kaira'. Your car is no different, and will probably not be treated any different at the pits.

Am I wrong here?

It has been registered and had rwc over east......

Ahh right i thought you were saying its nothing special when its just as special as say a nismo or a veilside skyline they are all rare and unique :)

Ohh nah mate, it's definately special/rare. I'll swap cars with ya :)

It was registered over East so it would comply with ADRs, but might clash with WA laws.

And good point, but who's to say they didn't put some different rims/suspension in for compliance etc and put the good stuff back in after it was registered.

All I want to say is that just because those rims came with the car as new... doesn't mean they are going to pass the pits in WA. A different state to where it was first registered(in AUS), not to mention a different country to where it was modified/built. I wouldn't count on that paperwork getting you passed the pits :laugh:

Anything up to 2" bigger than factory doesnt require approval or permits, bigger CAN be registered though, provided you've got a certificate to prove it doenst affect handling, steering, braking, etc, then you'll get a permit at the pits for them?

He should be ok, besides do the guys at the pits have info on factory specs for all the different releases of every car?

DPI doesnt even have a name for Cefiro, just rego'd as "Nissan Sedan", so I doubt they'll argue the Tommy Kaira..

hahah 'nissan sedan' considering they ask mitsubishi for proof that evo's come stock with bonnet scoops u can safely say they'll see a nice sticker that says tommy kaira assume its the name of ur favourite uncle and treat u the same as any other skyline.

WRONG the 2 in rule went out years ago its under NOP14 1.3 times mx size on your tyre placard is the standard

ie 16x8 can legally have 20x10 rims now

To update this guys it wasnt all bad results are as follows....

It needs

Rubber on 2 of the pedals (brake and clutch).

Tint was 2 dark thats coming off in the morning.

And finally the exhaust was too noisy so i got a silencer for it!!

Going back tomoz provideing i get the peddles in time.....

Rims/tyres and suspension was ok.

He went thru the paperwork i took with me to check the tommy kaira bits to make sure they were actually there and fitted as spec sheet :(

Thanks for all the help/advice and imput guys :D

Nice one. I'll look out for it on the streets.

I'm in the 'rare' standard R33 in white. :thumbsup:

BTW that is an enormous aerial you have there sir!

Edited by Tony de Wonderful
I know lol its huge!!

Think i may need to change it, it makes it look like a bumper car/dodgem!!!

Ahh there's a switch to the left of the steering wheels that lowers the aerial.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
