Sizygy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hey guys, gonna join sauwa and just I bought the GTR in this thread, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/344568-r32-gtr-v-spec-ii/ I went through the regs in the sticky and not sure I can make heads from tails, what I want to know is if anyone thinks i'll have trouble getting the car over the pits, the exhaust isn't loud but my main concern is with the cams and coilovers, it looks stock in the engine (you can see from the pics) and has a high enough ride height. No EBC or ECU visible. If I will have too much trouble with it I can take it to QLD and get it registered before bringing it over here. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I haven't had to take a car over the pits before.

Pal Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 chase down some stock suspension, wind the boost way down so its really slow and try then, you may be lucky if it all looks stock, not sure if they are still doing emission test though??

3LGODZILA Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 i was in the same boat as you. i brought my GTR over from Sydney and took it over Warwick pits 2 weeks ago - i recommend taking it there! mines got cams and also fully adjustable ohlins coil-overs, idle is fairly lumpy and the coil-overs are @ above legal height, this didn't concern them at all. mine's setup for 500hp+ but the engine bay looks fairly stock like yours which is a plus, just clean everything make sure theres no oil or coolant leaks, degrease the engine bay and under the car, make sure EVERYTHING works electrically. also while your there get them to give u permits, i just did the bits you can see like exhaust, my massive FMIC and the adjustable fuel pressure reg, hide any boost controllers and boost gauges. any questions just pm me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/366276-new-gtr-owner/#findComment-5843252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

10 4 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Take it over. Pass = Fail = Get list of what needs to be "Fixed". = Pass = Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/366276-new-gtr-owner/#findComment-5843509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanaldo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Take it over. Pass = Fail = Get list of what needs to be "Fixed". = Pass = This. Generally the pits are pretty good. Cops might sting you because most don't know what they are looking for, but pit inspectors are reasonable.

PewPew Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Cops might sting you because most don't know what they are looking for, but pit inspectors are reasonable. From the photos it looks immaculate both inside and out. Eveything looks neat and well done. Cops shouldn't give you a hard time, unless you really ask for it.

R34 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've always found the inspectors at the pits to be reasonable guys. Spending their days inspecting 100 year old stuffed Taragos and the like they are usually impressed to see a well presented and obviously loved vehicle. They'll want you to pass unless their hands are tied (like it's draggin it's arse) So don't worry, present it as it is and fix any items on the list if it fails. PS Midland are good guys too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/366276-new-gtr-owner/#findComment-5844207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
