Hi

I'm in the process of taking my car over the pit next week, but I'm missing a spare tyre in the boot. Does any one know if it's compulsory to have a spare tyre in order to pass the pit inspection ??

Better yet, does anyone have a standard spare rim/tyre floating around that they no longer need :D ??

Also, anyone here FAILED a pit inspection ?? What the reason for the FAILED inspection ?? The reason I'm asking is that the exhaust on my car is rather noisy, and I'm a bit concerned that they might fail the inspection.

Anyway, a few more sleeps and they'll be another Skyline on the street ;)

Bye

Richard.

They didn't check mine for a spare tyre, but I may have been lucky.

You can Borrow my spare tyre if ya want to be safe.

I failed the pits because my tint was slightly to dark, air filter was a bit wobly, and indicatrors were tinted black.

You should be right with the exaust unless they flog it when they take it for a test drive. My exaust passed, and you can ask around, my exaust is pretty damn loud.

Simplelogik,

I would definately borrow a spare, you can have mine if need be, as they may look and will fail it without one. They don't believe you when you say "I'll go buy one straight away". The exhaust will most likely be checked, I think it needs to be less than 87db at a meter or some such bullshit, but it should be alright. You can always fit a silencer in the end before you take it.

Good luck with adding another Skyline on our roads.

You should borrow a spare wheel as its required for compliance and its other stupid things they pick on.

They failed mine first time up due to a crack in the exhaust just before the muffler (couldn't hear it but they found it) and they wanted some a/m fog lights completely removed - its not as if they were actually connected or working, mind you but they wanted them removed (we just tucked them under the front bumper in the end).

Apparently (and I don't know how true this is) but if you do fail then they can only re-check what you failed the first time to see if its fixed. They can't fail you again for other reasons.

A silencer :D ??? Not sure what's the size of my exhaust, but it's nearly as big as the rear lights, and it's way too loud for my liking. I've put in an amp and 12" sub and still could hardly hear it unless I turn it right up so that I can see my read window vibrate ..

simplelogik,

Yeah it goes into your exhaust tip and muffles the sound coming out, it also heavily restrict you exhaust airflow so I'd recommend taking it off once its complied. I have one for a 4" tip (I think), all you need is the small hole in your exhaust tip where the bolt goes through, most Jap system have them. You can borrow it if you want.

Hi Adam,

Last time I went over the pits, I specifically asked them if I needed to carry a spare tyre and the inspector told me quite bluntly that they couldn't care less. "A spare tyre is only there for your convenience", he said.

So no need to worry about that :P

IIRC Adam, you failed at Welshpool right ?

East perth is props! They're easy... I've only heard one bad story out of 10 for east perth.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
