dang. that sux.

A friend of mine got his R33 stickered n they were giving him shit about his suspension height just like you but after a while they chilled on it and said it would pass with that height. (about the same as yours i think).

From memory my mate also let the time lapse from it being a yellow sticker to unregistered so im not sure if that made a difference. Or they just thought they would focus on the important things- like the massive high-mount HKS turbo or or the blow off valve that at 20 odd pounds of boost sounded like darth vader in a reallly bad mood...

tho just to check, even tho ur body kit is 150mm, there isnt a part of your exhaust that is lower than that n picking on is it?

but yeah, cant really give any further advice on how to get past this height problem.

prob take it to another place...

bahahahaha!! sounds like me when i run outta asthma meds :)

Why don't you try asking these questions in the WA area?? we have a member who actually works for DPI and he should be able to point you in the right direction in regards to making a complaint. There have also been a few WA members that were hard done by and have successfully had their complaints addressed.

At the pits, they ask you to drive over, and there is a 100mm block fixed into the ground.

So you're vehicle needs to be 100mm with YOU in it. Sure, and your body weight will make a difference.

Piece of wood trick = useless.

Dont take this the wrong way, but from the sounds of it it doesnt sound like your car should be on the road.

I know it sucks being poor and young, but you have to understand that for the safety of everyone else on the road you have to play by the rules. If your car is bleeding fluids everywhere there is a chance it could start a fire. If it has a bonnet scoop then it means that the bonnet has been cut and is also probably not safe in a crash (depending on the quality of the work).

Hope you can come to a good outcome, good luck.

don't take this the wrong way, u sound like someone that works at the pits and fails old cars coz they don't look "nice"

i have a drip of oil not a gush, my cvs went hence "powerstereing fliud" and a had a crack on a lower radiator hose that was like 1 cm long and had to ordered in, the hose was about 10cms long and hard to get to.

i wouldn't call that "bleeding fluids everywhere".

ok...car didn't pass!!

i don't think this guy knows how to drive a manual coz he said my clutch isn't operating correctly, ummm it is! taking it back to the clutch place and getting them to test it then write up a letter explaining that this guy is a douch! the clutch is 2 months old! my bonnet scoop needs to be sealed to my engine bay!! HOW THE f*k DO I OPEN MY BONNET????!!! my car is too low....the lowest point on my car is 150mm! car too low or numbers on measuring tape too small?? my seal belt clip doesn't work...it's missing the black plastic shell and it does work...maybe this guy doesn't know how to use a seat belt aswell! oil leaks, power steering leaks, now there's something viable! and exhaust leak...oh well shit happens! windscreen wipers not operating correctly, well they operate just fine, didn't realise there was another use for them...

well there's the list that i got pinged for....oh and i have a spilt radiator hose that leaks when hot, hahahaha they didn't notice that!!! bahhahahah, oh my god! the last time it was over the pits i get (10 months ago) - 1 indicator brighter then the other, 1 mm of tint missing front rear left small window, dirt (not oil dirt) on the bottom of the engine! well i'm getting the message, they don't want my car on the road, well guess what, it's staying on the road! maybe i'll put a turbo in it to piss em off :D

ok, suggestions on sealing bonnet scoop to engine bay??

you said it yourself buddy

fix your car, and stop whining that the inspectors are doing their job :(

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
