Kek, any ways what do they require?
>>13878161
fuck japan inspections
try german biannial inspections
>>13878161
>>13878216
just fyi it's biennial not annual
>>13878222
this. includes your registration.
WRX? Fine soon. 86? Fine. S13? Fine. Ducati? Fine. Accord? Fine.
Celica? Fucked. Other Celica? Also fucked.
>>13878193
I don't have a suitable reaction image for this
>>13878227
Holy shit thats easy to pass
1% CO ... they send you home in germany if you have more than .3% ( all cars with a catalyctic converter, age does not matter )
Only cars without any form of exhaust cleaning get the 4.5% CO
also every change on your car has to be documented and approved

The link was fucked up so here it is
>Tailpipes
Tailpipes are not allowed to protrude past the car's body however tailpipes that are built into the side of the vehicle are allowed.
>Body kits/Aero parts
Aerodynamic mirrors, windage trays under the tail section of the car and body kits using front bumper scoops are allowed. However all aerodynamic parts must fit and be molded correctly so they are flush with the car's body.
>Fenders and Overfenders
All fenders and overfenders (including widebody style-kits) must not inhibit the turning of the car's wheels (which must be able to turn 30 degrees inward and 50 degrees outward).
>Spoilers
All spoilers (aftermarket or OEM) must not be wider than the car's rear and must be bolted to the car's trunk.
>Lamps and reflectors
Front, side, and rear turn signals; brake lights, front and rear position lights, hazard warning lights, rear reflectors, low and high beam headlamps are all required. Sidemarker reflectors and lights and fog and driving lamps are permitted. All devices must function correctly and emit or reflect the required colours of light.
>Windows
No tint can be present on driver and passenger side windows however commercial UV window blocker is allowed. Lexan windows are not allowed unless they are approved via a case by case basis. Stickers/banners on the front windshield and rear glass are not allowed. etching on the windows, with the exception of VIN information, is not allowed.
>Speedometer
The speedometer of the car is tested by driving up on to a dynamometer. The vehicle will be accelerated to 40 km/h twice and the vehicle's speedometer reading will be recorded; should the reading be different, it will not pass.
>>13878253
Senpai, you dumb or trolling? Bienially and biannually are two fucking different things.
>>13878271
>Headlamps
All headlamps must be an approved type, designed for left-hand traffic, emit white or yellow light, and be aimed correctly.
>Exhaust and Emissions
Cars under 10 years old may emit not more than 1% carbon monoxide, and not more than 300ppm unburned hydrocarbons. Cars older than 10 years may emit up to 4.5% carbon monoxide and up to 1200ppm unburned hydrocarbons. This emission standard is laid out in the Japanese Emission Standard legislation. High flow catalytic converters are allowed. All oxygen sensors must be in working order along with any oil catch tanks. Exhaust noise is tested at a 45-degree angle, 50 centimetres (20 inches) from the tailpipe outlet. Vehicles up to 10 years old may emit not more than 96 decibels; older vehicles are allowed 103 dB.
>Suspension
No bushings may be broken or in bad condition. All control arms must be in working order. There can be no rust/corrosion on springs, struts or other suspension components. If the car has 4 wheel steering it must be working. The vehicle must also meet minimum height requirements which will be checked by referencing the lowest part of the vehicle (not including the suspension components). For vehicles with 200–249 cm wheelbase they must be 8 cm off the ground and vehicles with 250–299 cm wheelbase they must be 9 cm off the ground. For all other vehicles for every 50 cm over 299 cm in wheelbase add .5 cm to the minimum height and for vehicles under 200 cm in wheelbase subtract .5 cm to the minimum height.
>Interior
General interior equipment must be still intact (i.e.: dash). Roll cages (must have padding around bars) and carpet removal is allowed. Bucket seats must measure 420 mm from left to right bank but can not be over 450 mm from left exterior side to right exterior side (total width of seat). Aftermarket seats made of fiber-reinforced plastic are not allowed. Any holes or rips in seats must either be taped up or repaired.

>>13878318
oh, okay
>>13878253
Get a car newer than 1999 pham
My cars suspension is super bouncy but I'm not sure if it would be considered damaged.
Also I think an oxygen sensor stopped working, but the check engine light burned out so it doesn't show on the dash anymore.
>>13878501
If it's bouncy, it might be a leaking dashpot or something.
Just do what everyone does in California.
>Save your stock shit in the attic
>>13878271
>>13878275
Where the duck are you living for the inspection to be that rigorous?
>>13878271
>No tint can be present on driver and passenger side windows
What in the goddamn fuck?
>>13878161
>implying that's a bad thing
so, you actually want people to drive with dangerously out of shape cars that can potentially harm you?
>>13878950
That's already a thing in some states, Missouri for example doesn't allow tint on the front windows either.
>>13878954
>I can't read!
>>13878950
Tint on the front windows is disallowed. Y'know, so that you can see. See everything that is.
You can generally option tinted glass when you get the car anyway.
>>13879013
I have tinted windows and can see fine out of them. I've had multiple cops tell it's so they can see the driver for safety reasons on their part rather than the driver.
>>13879013
>i can't read
nice rebuttal..but what else can i expect from a murrikan
>>13879039
I'm Australian.
But you still can't read the OP. Allow me to translate it for you.
"In a hypothetical scenario whence the standards of the JAF/JIS inspections were applied in lieu of the current inspections (or lack thereof) in your current place of residence, how much of a quandary would this cause you?"
So yes, you can't read.
>>13879029
>I reduced the amount of light that gets through my glass and I can still see everything!
>because I have eyes that are part of the glass, or some other quantum technology that doesn't exist
Note; All light. All of it. If you tint glass not all of it gets through. This means if you're joining a road you may not see a vehicle, even if by some remote circumstance.
>>13879053
>hypothetical
Because you wrote that out in the OP..
learn2english properly ladm8
>>13879077
I didn't write that in the OP. But if you couldn't infer it from the OP, then your reading comprehension skills are awful.
If you are ESL, that's fine. If not? I suggest you read more, because the internet isn't cutting it.
>>13878967
>>13879013
Like, none at all, not even something light like 70%?
>>13879068
Okay while I respect your PhD in momscience you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about in the slightest and you likely have never sat inside of a tinted car. Now for some anecdote about how your fat fuck mother crashed a car because of muh ebil tint
>>13879088
Japan doesn't allow aftermarket tint at all, yeah. Not tint film anyway. Most Japanese car glass that isn't in total plebmobiles is tinted anyway, to about 80-85%, which is part of the reason for the laws.
MO I don't know about.
mega fucked
>>13879068
>tinted windows are so dangerous which is why a majority of cops have it
Do you make a living off of being retarded or is it just volunteer work?
>>13879100
>I don't know how optics works!
Accord has dealer applied tint from the early nineties when it was very expensive. It's quite nice actually, I'm told it's 75% by the tint place that reapplied the window that peeled. It's amazing it's lasted this long while remaining lovely and clear.
I optioned bronze tint on my 86 from the dealer; they had a professional tint place hunt down a good, 1990s goldy-bronze shade for me. The WRX has no tint on its front windows, but all the rear ones are tinted. I'm going to get clear UV film installed on it because Australia's sun is a cunt and I get a trucker tan driving the thing.
Please note I'm just iterating the reason for the laws. And it's true, you reduce the amount of light getting into a car, and you can see less. Because that's kind of how optics works. More stuff between your eyes and the things you're looking at, less you will see them. Any photographer can tell you this.
>>13879101
>Most Japanese car glass that isn't in total plebmobiles is tinted anyway, to about 80-85%, which is part of the reason for the laws.
That makes a bit more sense.
>>13879109
>laws that make no sense!
I agree with you. Just stating the reason. I'm not saying a light tint is dangerous. 5% is dangerous, sure. 75% is just saving your eyes in the long run. In Australia the legal limit is technically 85. Don't tell anyone.
>>13879109
Don't you know? Cops are special people. They are the only people capable of seeing out of windows or handling dangerous weapons. They are pure and good. You must be some kind of criminal to want tinted windows, what do you have to hide?
>>13879133
If you've got an S13 for instance you'd be doing yourself a favour to get some early S13/180SX windows from a Q's or K's. Bronze glass! Cuts glare and improves visibility.
>>13879123
Yes I'm not disgreeing however unless you're being a retard and putting 1% on your windshield the effects of tint should be negligible and nowhere near a safety hazard
>>13879142
>AM I BEING DETAINED
>>13879158
Putting tint at all on your windscreen is a bad idea. Tint is not as clear as solid glass, being a thin polymer film. That particular window has to be as clean and clear as possible for you to have adequate reaction times at high speeds.
Side windows are less obvious, but having anything under 75% I'd call a safety risk. All it takes is something like I encountered which actually made me pull the last of the tint off the front windows of the Rex; some dickhead in a flat black BMW who had blacked out his front plate, driving with no lights on on an overcast day. I nearly missed him with a cursory look; I found him with the second glance, sure, but that was enough.
To be fair the Rex had limo tint on it for some retarded reason; but you need all the light you can get at the sides for times like that.
... I swear its previous owners were ice mechanics. There's no way you can think everything that got done to that car is a good idea except with a brain full of shard.
>>13879109
I've never seen a cop car with tinted windows.
>>13879197
Police cars (especially HWP sedans) will often have their rear windows tinted here (no surprise, they often do high-level transport), but I've never seen one with the front windows tinted personally. Just factory glass tint.

>ABS light non functional (See above, same cost again most likely)
>Rear brake lines too corroded (lines wrap around rear subframe for some fucking reason, minimum £300 in labour + new lines)
>Front brake pads wearing unevenly (£40 for pads, another £50 in labour)
Advisories (not needing done to pass)
>Rust on rear arches
>Front brake lines slightly corroded
>Rear passenger seatbelt slightly torn
>Missing backplates from rear calipers
So needless to say, I'm hunting for a new car with a looooong MOT

I don't think my beetle would pass. At this point it's more held together with rust, zip ties, creative spot welds, and dreams than anything else. I also doubt that I could convince the new inspectors that my nearly 50 year old shitbox is actually a classic car
