does any1 in here know wat happens when you don't get your car in the pit on time...i mean the yellow sticker expired last friday and i couldn't make it to the pit because my car wasn't ready til 5..

you'd best get onto them straight away and explain the situation, they just might extend the expiry date, if not you might now be required to get a permit to take the car to the pits (revenue).

It's a crock of sh!t really, because the car would still be licensed so that should give you the right to take it to the pits at anytime without a permit b/4 the rego expires. Obviously you couldn't drive the vehicle for normal duties once the y/sticker expires.

I think once a certain period of time elapses, they will ask for the plates back, which they shouldn't do if the rego is still current.

If I ever get a licky on my fully engineered (well this is pending ;P) Cefi I will scream :) But, otherwise... just remove said licky and apply straight. They typically come right off without any dramas.

I got a yellow sticker a few months back for being too low, and having non standard seat rails without a permit.

FYI - anyone with yellow stickers dont go to East Perth!!! They are wankers. They went right over the car and pick out bullshit problems. Like the passenger side windscreen washer not working properly (Not life threatening I'm sure). They they gave me a big list of items I needed a permit for - Strut brace, pod filter, bov, aftermarket seats etc all little things...oh...and the remove the locked diff :cheers:

They also made we go to Welshpool to speak to the head of the technical team about my pillar gauges being too wide, even though I had a permit for them already. They wouldn't give me the permit back until got the clear from Welshpool.

Well...to cut a long story short, went to Welshpool. Pillar gauges were too wide and come out infront of the steering wheel, but they couldn't do anything because the permit was for multiple gauges. Took it over the pits while I was there and the guy that looked at the list of things, laughed, called the East Perth guys dickheads and crossed everything out. Never looked at the car, just drove it around the block and took the sticker off. Managed to get away with the locked diff, by saying it had a tightened clutch in it, and the Ogura Racing clutch made it feel that way :kick:

maybe it depends on who looks at your car. I ended up having the supervisor looking at my pillar gauges and threatening that they may have to be removed, even though I had a permit for them. The guy said the supervisor had the authority to overturn permits, which I found out from the technical team later that they have no such authority. A permit is a legal document that they cannot revoke later.

Their reasoning was that I could have changed gauges after the permit was issued, which I didn't. The permit said fitment of gauges, so it didn't matter according to the head of the technical team at Welshpool.

I just thought it strange that even the guy at Welshpool called the East Perth guys dickheads. I have heard from a few other people that they only ever take their cars over the pit at welshpool, especially jdm cars.

I think you will find he has every authority to overturn permits, despite what the technical team may have said. In every situation, items can and HAVE been changed after the issue of permits, contrary to what the legal requirements are for that particular modification.

Wheel track and body height from the ground are a couple of items that come to mind.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
