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

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
