Pits - Would It Pass?

[Ten Four]

Hi guys, looking at purchasing a skyline interstate.

Problem:

Cage firstly (copy paste.. Cusco 6 point roll cage (currently only using 4 point))

Then..

Sard Trigger boost controller

Cusco 1.5 way LSD

Ohlins coil-over suspension (Depends on inspector right?)

Titanium exhaust system (Change to stock?)

6000K HID's (I know these are iffy)

The guy says its 100mm off the ground...

Its also running really wide wheels, so would change to stockies and pump lots of air for some more clearance...

Basically, more hassle than its worth?

Cheers.

Link to ad dude, WCC is down so I can't get to it.

From memory it all seemed like things you could get engineered, so not really a big deal. But a link to the ad would help.

PM'd.

Shes MINE!!!

Cage - needs engineer's certificate and can only be registered as a 2 seater.

Boost Controller - just hide it

Diff, depends how much it skips

Coilovers, depends on inspector

Exhaust, as long as its got cat, muffler, clears 100mm and under 93? db it's ok

HIDs, again depends on inspector.

Make sure its 100mm WITH your weight in the car, as you actually have to drive over the 100mm height check.

[Nic_A31]

or is it 91db in WA ..... :\

[Ten Four]

Mm, I could probably source an exhaust as I can't see a titanium one passing lol.

Wouldn't mind the 2 seater thing...

So, its not that bad right?

He said it was imported under low volume imports scheme, so it should have a plate... Also, he imported it himself so I'll assume he has import papers.

Cheers WCC guys

EDIT: It IS complied.

I don't think it's that bad man. Just remove the cage, they are gay anyway, somebody wanting to build a race car would probably pay a good bit of coin for it.

The other things aren't hard to fix, standard suspension is easy to find, standard exhaust is easy to find. Really not a big deal.

[Nic_A31]

For a noob like you......yeah it IS bad.

What's soo special about this one to justify interstate ... ?

2 Seater rego gives you other options, like fixed back seats and shit, become legal.

My other Ceffy is going to be registered as a 2 seater with cage.....4 door, 2 seater...work that one out.

For the record, only bolt in cages are legal, but you knew that already right ?

[Hanaldo]

Lol at all WCC guys being on SAU cos WCC is down

[Ten Four]

No, I have absolutely no idea, hence posting here...

The bloke said its legal in Vic cause the sunvisors work or something??

Its special cause its a one off, and I likes rarity.

And Martin, I'd keep cage in it.

Lol gold. Probably a good call though, I forgot James doesn't do any DIY.

"The car has been fully complied and had the plate

fitted. All import paperwork including import

approval is available, so the car can be

registered without much trouble.

The roll cage is a bolt-in Japanese cage so it can

easily be removed within about 10 minutes."

[Mayuri Krab]

You getting another car?!

Didn't you go through a R33 GT-R, then R32 GT-R?

Where did you get your $$$ from? LOL

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The roll cage is a bolt-in Japanese cage so it can

easily be removed within about 10 minutes.

I'll give you $100 if you can remove that cage in 10minutes by yourself

[Ten Four]

I couldn't do it if you gave me a lifetime

I'd sell the M3 to pay for it obviously lol.

[Char]

as i said b4-the main issue i could see is the whole not currently street rego'd and possible was converted to widebody due to panel damage/write off

if he has papers find out what grade import it was

[Ten Four]

Yeah, I would ask...

I'd fly over tbh.

Ok, gotta sell my M3 now, its on eBay atm with no reserve

[Mr Eps]

it depends if the inspector says it can be rego'd or not

if it can't be - the inspector will tell you what needs to be done

personally if i was your inspector i'd tell you to lose the cage. you're not impressing anybody. and i'd make you eat your steering wheel and put the original one back on. you know, the one it's SUPPOSED to have. WITH THE AIRBAG.

(no serioulsy - get rid of the toy and put the airbag back on, you'll need that to pass pits. and rightly so)

[Ten Four]

Its a 1993, I highly doubt it came with an airbag.

My old 1994 R33 didn't.

Cage is there for a reason... Its an ex track car I believe. Everything was done in Japan.

I would change the wheel though, its ugly...
