Where in Perth can i get permits for my mods, and because i have permits does that mean its foolproof for when cops decide to pull me up and try and give me a yellow, please bear with me as i dont know much about about Perth laws as back in NZ you can put pretty much anything on your car and get away with it,..I cant afford to be yellowed as it will f**k me up for work

depends what it is,

i am going through engineering for my build at the moment, but its a 2.8 with a big single, half cage, suspension & brake mods.

but

you need to submit the paperwork to DOT and they will respond with approval in principal. then you engage and auto engineer who sorts it all our for you.

Would DOT really approve of this, street driven?

My 32 is not running and I'm scared of even letting the rego run out haha

The mods i have carried out so far, are 3'' turbo back exhaust with hi-flow cat, adjustable coilovers, front mount intercooler, BOV, Pod filter and 18'' rims.. I just want permits foir those mods to prevent a yellow sticker, or do you guys think i can still get one even with permits?

Well I'm in QLD and when I transferred the my r32 gtst into my name, pretty much same mods as yours

They didn't look over the car or anything.. But I wasn't re-registering.. So yeah different ha..

I can say no to pod filter.. That won't pass. (Unless its secured??) but stock air box is better anyway..

they have sent me a letter for approval in principal, so yes

i just need to pass an emissions test, noise test, brake test (E85 and a "custom exhaust" will take care of that ;) cant have an external gate

Do you mean can't have an external gate venting to atmosphere? Or no external gate at all?

Cant have external gate venting to atmo, untreated exhaust gas = big no no

Yeh this is obvious; Hattori didn't specify though. Just said no external gate. I was quite sure a plumbed in external wastegate is fine, though I haven't been through the process myself, so just wanted to clarify.

I bought my skyline over from NZ and it had pretty much the same mods. It passed the pits, I got the permits and havent had any problems.

You need to get a copy of the rules from DOT for modifications that are legal. Some people mistake permits or engineering certificates for a "do what I like and get away with it" permit. For example, if you lower your car to 2cm off the ground, you will never get a permit or engineers certificate. You need to mod within the rules as well. Just something to keep in mind.

How have you got a permit for your adjustable suspension? i got a letter of approval in principal but its saying I need to have 1/3 of the original suspension travel and a engineers report. There is no way the BC coilovers are going to have 1/3 of the original travel. I've started the hunt for standard suspension to get over the pits

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
