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 :(

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
