Hey guys, getting my 1999 Manual Stagea in about 2 weeks, and have been told i have to go over the pits.

What are the queues like,

Which pits to avoid, any you recomend,

What are they going to pick on.

Any other info would be helpful

Ring up and make an appointment at Midland or Welshpool? (I think.. I've only made appointments at the Midland pits) dpi.wa.gov.au website is your friend :P

Haven't taken my Stag over but all the normal things apply.. tread/fluids/lights/leaks/seatbelts/etc.. just make sure everything is neat and tidy and don't try to hide anything.

Does it have any mods?

Welshpool and O'Connor work on a first in first served basis and open at 07:30....I rocked up at 06:00 and was out by 09:00 or 09:30, can't remember, was only one car in front of me.

All centres treat you about the same and they're all busy, especially busy with hail damaged cars flooding through.

Stop into a car was before you go, and give the engine bay a massive spray (its begging for one ...) :P

Get under the car and give the underside a good wipedown... make it look nice and clean. They really like that. Make sure all your hoses and lines are in good condition with no splits etc (they will find the tiniest split). I go to the Welshpool one and rock up at 6am too since you have to wait like 2 weeks if you wanna book an inspection at Warwick or something :P There's always another car there already lol and it gets BUSY

Oh and I went at like 4pm once and it was pretty empty, I was the last car to be inspected so sometime in the afternoon might be good too.

If the coilovers aren't adjustable they should pass fine, make sure the exhaust isn't too loud and has a cat fitted, and make sure the pod filter is bracketed down. If the bov is atmo. venting, chuck a stock one on.

Post some pics when you get them :)

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
