aye

S13's really get picked on for some reason.

I had my r32 for a year with illegal tint etc and never got pulled over once in the 30'000kms i put on. Maybe they arent used to the site of a 32.

Like Zanda said...dont pull your tint off yourself as you will lose your de-misters on your rear window, even if you use a heatgun. Todd uses steam to get it off.

If you have troubles with the more local pits there is Marinos in Kwinana who are very easy to pass with. I got my old v8 over with a silencer gasket wedged in the exhaust.

Good luck! .

ive borrowed a pod for the moment, but the thing is its only bolted on wid two screws, as it ont fit in propely, (like line up with holes there)

will that pass the pits or do you need three/four?

and ive bolted it down, so it will stay there, just need to know about the screws, etc...

yer nah its a perfect fit, just well the holes it has to bolt it on to the AFM (i think its called) arnt suited to it, as its a r33 apexi filter (well its made to fit r33's) and im just using it to pass the pits

but it dosent let nythin in, just i need to know if it dosent rattle or nythin it sticks hard, does it need four screws or can i get away with two?

Oh man, i gotta feel for ya. That sucks when your stoked about getting a new car only to have some arrogant jellyback ruin it for ya.

Not all of us have had issues with our imports, ive had mine 18 months and its easily defectable (lowered, big wheels, bov etc). I havent so much as been looked at by a copper, touch wood.

Perhaps he saw the P Plates and figured you were easy prey.

Hope the transport guys help you out. Some of em are really good to deal with... others... not so good.

I would warn against taking any car to warwick.

Took my 2000 Magna over wednesday - failed me for a split brake pedal rubber, and some glass between the dash and windscreen (front passenger window got broken to steal radar detector and glass went everywhere).

All i can say is make sure you car has plenty of rego before you go on holidays for a few months.

Got it passed this morning - another inspector said "gee we really sorted you out". So i suppose it really does depend who you get. Shouldnt be that way though.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
