[GTRboy]

Aye guys

only had my silvia half a day and already been defected, aparantly the exhaust is too big??? so i need to go over the pits, he also said the tint was too dark, its bout 25% but its only on the back window.....

so i presume its legal, but also got a $100 fine as my p plate was "hidden" behind a sticker...it wa sonly a bit of white but ohwell.

The guy who sold it to me is just goin to help me go over the pits and get some permits for it...so its not to bad, its just all the heassel.....

cheers

cops have the gays

[zanda]

rofl. It's nasty to laugh, but I can't help it.

dude, there's a guy named todd that some of us have used for tinting - I may still have his number. he can rip off the dark stuff and replace it cheap cheap. don't pull it off yourself or you'll lose the demister.

do a search on SilWA about the things that s13s commonly get defected for and which pits are most amicable.

you might as well get permits now..... the too large reason is a joke though.

did you get picked up on anything else?

and why do you insist on starting every bloody post with "aye"?!?!!!! F#$CKING AYE!!!

[GTRboy]

sorry man, yer also got picked up for not showing my p plate, it was liek a tiny bit covered by a rego sticker......japanese one on the back....but im writng a letter as well it ownt do anything, but well he was an arrogant **** and wuldnt listen to me that i was on my way to super cheap autos, to get some like fluid stuff to get them off, but he wasnt listne and his attitude was a ****, and asked me to saty in the car......

wtf???

yer so im writing a letter....it wont work but its a 100 bck fine, and he got hell shity wen i asked for his name and number,...

[GTRboy]

yer also im goin to get permits for my BOV n pod n them for in the future

[ReVN211]

AYE!!!!!

bad luck dude, shouldnt have too much trouble getting it over, legal tint is 35%...

[GTRboy]

yer well its only on the back half....but you can see form behind, very clearly objects in the front, i thought that was the rule, if the car behind you couldnt see in front of you its illegal, ohwell should have it all done but next week.,.....

[zanda]

bov could be contentious...... for sure pass take your factory one over.

they grumbled about my factory one when I got registered, and gave me a permit for that!??

[GTRboy]

wen they do permits do they do exact name n brand and that or do they just say BOV, POD, exhaust n so on??

[GTRboy]

when i go to the pits, do i need to goas im the owner or can anyone go over

it dosent matter who drives the car? or does it have to me?

[zanda]

mine said exhaust, air filter/cleaner and blow off/recirc valve.

I beleive anyone can take it over, but it may pay to hear what they have to say - since you're gonna have to fix it.

inspite of what the silwa people said, most of the guys at the pits are pretty helpful, and actually get the shits on with every kid getting sent with defects for having green snot in his nose and a factory bodykit..

provided the tint is right, the pod is secured (using a bracket) and the bov isnt too loud, AND everything else on the car is cool, you shouldnt have any problems.

[GTRboy]

yer thanks zanda, i was going to go with the guy i bought it off, he knows quite a few down at welshpool, the tint is about 30% but he went through the pits about 3months aswell and and everyhting was perfrect and i haveednt changed it at all,

Just wondering how much for pit fees, and the permit?? and how many can mods can you have on the permit...

[zanda]

dude, give licensing a call. we can try and answer these questions based on experience, but if I were you I'd be asking the guys who 'make' or at least inforce the rules.

[GTRboy]

yer ok, thanks zanda, im finding out more info tongiht....

cheers fellows

[GTRboy]

all good, organized a silencer etc,

just wondering has anyone gone to warwick pits?

and for future references

heres the link for the fees that need to be payed

http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/fees/in...ndex.html#anch8

I belive form this for a s13, or sky, it would be $52.20, plus permit - $34.00

[hako]

warwick in my personal experience are useless

my 15 year import is exempted from a compliance plate - but the inspectors insisted on arguing that i needed one even tho i had documentation to prove otherwise

and they picked out all minor stuff

i drove out to midland and it flew over - didnt even have to pay for reinspection lol

[GTRboy]

ok cool, thats wat i thoguth warwick i just had a bad feeling bout

midland/welshpool or eats perth ill go to

[JH32]

only had my silvia half a day and already been defected ...

Welcome to the world of imports! :Bang:

I've been to Welshpool and East Perth. Welshpool were better, a lot more forgiving.

While I was there I got a permit for my pod filter and my (stock) blow off valve. I've since been hassled bout the stock bov so I'm glad I now have the permit.

Don't take the tint off just yet. I went over the pits with 5% black tint on the back window and they passed it.

Good luck!

[GTRboy]

thanks, so would u say welshpool is better or east perth, just yer the tint is the only prob, but im coming from ocean reef to, so i dont want to drive to tim-buk-too

and yer i was going to go with the stock BOV, and get a permit for it, and then put another one in, so least i got the permit.....can i do that....

yer and im just gettin a permit for a POD, BOV, tint and exhaust.....

next thing you know theyll pick me up for having guages inside....

[NuGGeT]
