Do you have to ask for permits before the car gets inspected, or get the car inspected then ask for the permits?

I want to get a heavily modded car through, and am thinking its best not to tell them too much, but would like permits for most things if possible, :angry:

Oh yeah, its for a rego swap too, does it need a full inspection?

cheers

Steve

Hey Steve...

From my experience they go over the car and list everything that you need a permit for, and as long as everything passes you then get the permits. Maybe depends on the mods on your heavily modded car. Anything that are are not sure the legality of, might be an idea to ring ahead to make sure one of your mods wont fail the inspection.

Do you mean rego swap from another states plates? If thats the case, I am sure it will need a full inspection.

Hope that helps a bit :)

Hey Steve,

State rego change will require a full inspection the same as if it was getting rego'd for the first time, as all the state laws are different.

I am pretty sure that as long as everything is secured and installed professionally there shouldn't be any problems. Some of the stuff you have listed I am not sure about, but there are guys out there running some heavily modded cars...maybe not all with permits though :)

Do you have A pillar guages? If you do, they may complain about them. The east Perth pits didn't like mine and witheld my permit for them until it was looked at by the Technical team at Welshpool. They didn't like them either as it stuck out in front of the nardi steering wheel and blocked some corner view, but the permit said 'gauges' and so even if I changed them, they had to allow it as it was already okayed by the permit...but I think generally they aren't too happy with dual A-pillar guage pods.

Also...make sure that you have plenty of clearance/travel with your suspension...they almost failed mine because it was too stiff and so didn't give enough travel on bumps. Got through though...luckily

Good luck with it all...hope it gets cleared :)

      Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
