    Perentie Failed Pits Inspection

    Gday guys,

    i bought a 1990 Perentie currently licensed in vic and I've just taken it over the pits here in WA and I've been told altho its in tip top condition it doesn't meet VSS? and there for as failed.

    Can anyone shed some light on this? something to do with roll bar not being factory and bull bar not being on a 5 deg angle?

    its as is from AFM and was rego in vic november last year no problems so i don't understand ?

    Thanks heaps

    Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your purchase. Both the bull bar and roll bar are as it was made, but in some places, there have been a few issues around some items. Unfortunately WA seems to be about the toughest state to register anything. Did they say how you can overcome these issues?
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Perentie Failed Pits Inspection

    I agree the bush guard is original however the roll bar was fitted later I.e. not at the time of manufacture.......I still doubt the roll bar conforms the the required standard.....I would say to them it a heavy duty canopy bow and not a roll bar.

    It's does appear 99% are getting through......is there another pit you can go to?? I'm sure a fellow WAian will point you towards a perentie friendly pit.

    Hey thanks

    My problem i think lies not with the inspection place (day auto) they passed it no worries but when he sent of the paperwork to the transport dep they rang back requesting photos of the car and of the roll bar. Then after a 2.5hr wait they emailed the paperwork back saying "failed vss requirements" and that i had to contact vss.

    the mechanic got the impression from the rubber stamper that they are trying to stop these cars being rego'd in WA and are going to make it as difficult as possible.

    if i can't get it rego in wa ill have to drive all the way back to vic to get a rwc even tho it was done in nov to do a change of ownership to my name at a friends address for 12 months then bring it over under the new rules that mean you don't have to have cars inspected if they have been in your name for 12 months in another state.

    Was about to say the same thing. Look for another pit with someone a bit more understanding. It's not like you're trying to pass a 1000hp Nissan GT-R with NOS that you want to take street racing.

    Can you get it complianced in another state and still drive it in WA?

    Also, if the roll bar is aftermarket, can you just remove it for the pit?

    I would talk to VSS people and see what the problem is, before I went driving thousands of kays. The problem is not with the inspection point, but with the beaurocrats in VSS. It could well be something very minor that it needs.

    The rops and front brush guard is not compliant with the new standards

    fortunately, they only have to be compliant with the standards of the time the equipment was installed or manufactured.

    there are a few people with personal agendas in positions that can use their position to enforce their "desired interpretation" of the rules so they do, I'm guessing you ran into someone like that in the final approving position.


    let me know if you need a hand with the supporting documents and specs for the barwork and that it is and ADI designed and approved OEM fitment (rememebr the perentie is not just a landrover product, its built to a specification for a specific customer so some of the hardware is not listed as approved for fitment to a "landrover" as the beurotapers know it.)

    of course the easiest thing to do would be to simply point out that, theres precedence, there are other perenties already in WA rego so its all already processed and has approval.
