I took my car over the pits a couple of weeks ago.Initial fee is $53.70 or something.

They will examin your whole car from top to bottom, take it for a drive around the block (yes you can be in your car while they do this).

second examination fee is something like $38 and they will only examin what was needed to be rectified on your work order extension sheet.

with the tint thing, my uncle does it and we are finding that they will allow you to pass if you leave your back window on and just remove the sides, i tinted mine so i had legal film on the back and 15 grade on the sides (im not to fussed if i have to take the sides off , they are easyer to redo than the back window)

cheers

well just got the tint removed, looks crap now :) feel... so ... exposed hehe

the tint a car guy told me they aren't allowed to check tint at night (i was checked at 11.50pm) and that i could have refused the yellow, no doubt they would have tried something else to get me for.

he also told me that my pod filter is not legal without a heat shield???

it is an Apexi type, braced to the chassis with the correct bracket.

can anyone clarify? can i just get a permit for it when it goes over the pits?

Hey Jarryd, i found that in the cruize ten thread, the aftermath discusion about all the yellow stickers handed out haha.

i think somewhere on the depertmant of transport site it will say stuff about blow off valves and the likes.

When i took my car to the pits I had one solid braket holding my pod to the chassis of the car (very secure) he was pleased enough with that and told me no permit would be needed for it. Also my strutt brace was still fitted and he didnt even look twice at that.

Scott simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time , they had set up a road block basicly just to search vehichles which they knew we were coming (mine included but due to still having a yellow sticker let me through after checkin to see if i had a spare tyre)

They were actually quit c0cky about the whole thing, anouther mate of ours (again anouther 4 door haha) was told to remove his digital display gauge which was mounted out of site from the driver. I beleive quite a few cars were searched and had yellow stickers handed out for no apparant illegal mods.

Like scott stated alot off respect was lost for the police at that point as we all saw it as bullying.

ahh wells

this is the moddifiers game i guess

hmm cheers impul, yes seems to be a bit of bullying going on and i lose respect for these 'police' daily...

after my family saw my yellow sticker my stepfather (who is one of those council crusader types hehe) ended up calling the police stations to find out why they were allowed to check my tint at night when nobody could get the same reading - i saw a reading of 1000, the female cops saw 75 and the male cop told me it was 14.5... quite a difference.

my tint has been ripped off now and i was informed by the senior constable my stepfahter spoke with that there is no record whatsoever of them giving me a defect notice.

i'm not sure how the cops these days are on their paperwork but i begin to suspect a lot of these stickers that are given out in these incorrect circumstances may not be processed officially, of course we wouldn't know and would still pay out our time and money for the hassle of 'complying' our vehicles...

*not happy jan*

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
