its mostly a mith that the Pit is a licensing black hole (of course depending where you go) Apparently Warwick is a no-go, but East Perth was excellent, took an RX7 over there with rock hard suspension, intake bits, massive exhaust, and while he was fairly thorough he wasn't a bastard. Was taken for a drive and given my plates.

Dont stress too much, just try East Perth and welshpool first.

Hi guys

New in these forums - a few posts in the Stagea section... about to (hopefully) take delivery of my Neo6 "family wagon" in a few weeks :D

I am buying mine from an eastern states import yard - never been registered (newly complied) - so will come off the transporter at my door - then off to the pits for inspection... anyone know if this first time registration will be any different to a transfer from another state that uve said in this thread not to worry too much about??? Its important coz I have the option of getting some parts (rims, lowering, tow-bar) fitted at the yard before it comes over - but wont do the mods til after rego if anyone knows it will be under a closer or different type of inspection coz its the first time????

Thanks

Adam

PS Also thining of getting a custom towball fitted in QLD - would the pits guys worry about it if it looked done right? Or do they need load-rating stickers etc on them legally?

if your mods are reasonable and legal i wouldnt worry 2 much . ie rims are within allowed size difference and cars not 2 low . i dont know about tow bars though .

as your interstate rego is your main form of vehical identification you will need to make sure youve got all the import / compliance paper work and proof of ownership . give the department of planning and infrastructure a call and see what they require . also some states will give you a temporary rego for interstate transfer that might help to .

but give them a call and make sure , essentially youve got to prove ownership and compliance .

in terms of inspection tho everything will be the same , its just paperwork difference .

also i got my transfer at warrick , no probs . if you got a pretty stock skyline/stagea i wouldnt worry at all

Id suggest that a first time inspection of a car thats never been regoed will be 1) more expensive (113 dollars vs 56 dollars) and more indepth as the engineering papers etc will have to be double checked.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
