i went over with a K&N airpod, but i also got away with some other stuff like a screamer pipe which is apparently quite illegal. it depends on what inspector you get but you can deifnately get permits for them as long as they are secured

so that beast 32 GTR is coming to perth then eh?!

get permits for everything so the cops cant get you for the obvious items, but if they really want to theyll go over your car and find something minuscule and stupid like a hairline crack in your exhaust or something stupid.

its $28.50 for a mod license which you can put 5 things on.

so after you go over the pits and get your plates etc. go back to the pits and say i want to get a permit for this pod filter, BOV or whatever. theyll do a few checks and issue you with the permit.

some things you cant get permits for like dodgey pod filters or dual trumpet rice-boy BOV's

I got a permit for my K & N, but thats about it (only mod as it is N/A );)

Simply done hey as everyone else says, when you go to register the car get the permits their and then, i got my mum to take my car when i got the canary, easier on older people. I didn't want to go anyway :)

if you have defect car ou should not even driving it simple as that but surely how the F**ck they ganna check hairline fracture for exust... what are they ganna use bloody X-rays to find that? as long as your is not over the top modified they are happy to issue permit on writing...

Inspector/engineers are not picky like cops cuz majority of cops dont know jack shit about cars and just pinn you for haivng 4 tires in your car if they wants to! or Being smart ass (that's different story!) :)

theres a big difference between a defected or yellow stickered car and an unroadworthy car

yellow stickers can be given out for pod filters, and BOV's and exhaust this doesnt make them unroadworthy though...

all you need to do is get a permit, or not drive like a tool. cos if they dont pull you over they cant check your car. but for $28 a permit is worth it as youre paying $50 every time you go over the pits to get a yellow sticker removed

moral of the sorty: get a permit!:)

haha settle was just exagerating and making a point that the coppers will pick you for anything they can get you for.

my mate had to take his skyline over the pits last week (bald tyres) and he said everything was fine bar the convex/cave mirrors which were on it (c-red hadn't changed them) but still got it licenced? and he told him to come under the car to have a look at the exhaust which had a crack in it but wasnt leaking, so he had to get that welded up. now thats bullshit.

I would have assumed that my car would have been licensed with the POD filter after it was brought into Australia. It was already installed at the dealership when first purchased, mine is a HKS item.

Of course they could have swapped an OEM item in when going over the pits!!!

Where can you get an engineers report from in WA anyway?

Hey Guys with all this permit talk for mods...

Stupid question: what about VIC? I mean is it legal to have pod filters and what not in Victoria? Like is it possible to get an engerneering certificate or something to pull out and show the cops its legal?

Also with wheel upgrades same sorta thing apply?

Matty (yeah another one!)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
