Never said I had been forgotten about I was happy to throw money at the site because I know all of this stuff isnt magically free. I found it interesting I got the stuff in the mail before the access appeared on the forum.. thats all..but happy to contribute even if no stickers arrived or no forum access ever appeared, due to the info on the boards that I am sure Charli will make good use of! I'm also suprised noone's done the whole "IT'S A GIRL!" yet.

I paid quite some time ago, got my stickers and stuff last friday.. first time I'm using a Lanyard for my work ID.. you should all be thankful as I've been asked three times about it, free advertising woo! ..but still cant see the other forums to lurk yet. Also, hi new forum person, and I agree with the trumping comment

Pour 200K into that GT-R and see how it stacks up vs the stock Audi. That's a fair comparison and I really don't believe it would be even close to a tie.. could be applied to the R35 v ZR-1 too to a lesser extent.. not that I'll ever be able to afford any of them

Looks like it's going to be fun to get my POS out of there on this friday after its been there 2 months, might have to ask ray to park it 2km from the place so it's very far out of sight

If it helps, from what I have been told I need them all, as the car is a NA+T transplant. VIN number won;t be much use as the car is originally a NA and this is to a stock Turbo ECU that is being attempted to get working right Hence would need part numbers for the stock turbo gear from any 34 GTT, the more the merrier.

Hi Guys Forgive the idiotic nubi question, but I'm looking for the part number for a '00 R34 GTT (RB25DET Neo) Engine Loom.. If there are multiple part numbers is it possible to get a listing? Thanks..

Anyone out there who has shift on their PC, and got disgruntled about various handling issues (such as driving on a trampoline) ... should reinstall it and download the new patch, because it makes massive improvements in overall game 'feel', making it infinitely more fun without destroying the 'realism' of the game. If anything it felt more realistic and more 'connected' to the cars you're driving if that makes any sense whatsoever. Even if it doesnt, try the patch, makes the game well worth playing afterwards.

After moving back from the US to here, all chips seem lackluster. My favourite generic flavour in the US was Cheese and Sour cream, which for some reason noone in australia seems to want to make. Seen cheese and onion, and sour cream and onion, but alas...

This is exactly what I was saying - Just forwarning that its best to get that "Tier2" inspection done. In my case my "Tier2" inspection WAS done, but it was done by a notorious liar who-shall-not-be-named-on-forums. (but didnt know at the time) In my example.. after I found out my "Tier2" was completely dishonest, I took it to Tier3, who coincidentally.. is Trent @ Status tuning who posted a few posts above, and gave it a good ol WTF, and it's now at RE Customs WTF'ing Ray @ Co down there, and has been for about 6 weeks now Point being though, don't take it as a be-all, end all report of EVERY possible vehicle fault, as Mr Nismoid said and I (attempted) to do.

If it's a NA+T it's probably quite a valid question

...which leads me into the question regarding aftermarket ECU's and Managment with the aim of being 100% legal and whether anyone has done it before

That's all well and good - How is it running with the GTS-T ECU? The issue (so I am told) is at least on my R34 is that there's no boost sensor, so the GTT ECU goes a bit haywire as it understandably cannot detect any boost. In addition I've been told in order to get it all setup reasonably okay, a loom from a R34 GTT would need to be sourced to get this all running. However, havent heard anyone comment about this in the thread, hence my questions as to whether this is a R34 issue, or specifically only an issue with the stock GTT ECU (to stay legal), or whether its just incorrect information and the original loom can be used. I'm not about to say anything against Ray & Co at RE Customs, so I doubt its the latter but found it interesting noone else had mentioned this issue about looms, and was curious as to why it's such an issue for lucky me.. and given the car has been there for about 5 weeks now waiting on a Loom I figured I'd ask the question, but I'm sure it's because I'm being a difficult prick and want the car to be legal to avoid getting done on it later, and having to make it legal anyway in the future.

I'm just going to throw this out there as it wasnt mentioned (and had a bit of a conversation with N-DAWG about it via PM). Has anyone.... other than me attempted to get this done (i am as mechanically useful as a rabbit).. with the stock ECU? And in this example, I mean the GTT ECU. Given Victoria's very stringent laws regarding ECU - What have the victorians doing this done to get around this problem? Has anyone tried this - Or in my case, been forced to try this? Or is everyone else out there running a copgyback and hiding the thing?

Nope. However they werent too far off the mark, I dont blame State Roads, all I am saying is that if they check out the car, and their review is positive (infact on mine it was 100% positive, there was literally nothing wrong with the vehicle) it is still very worth taking the car to a shop that specializes in the specific nuances that that car may or may not have. My issues werent that the car was full of rust when they said it wasnt, or is about to fall apart when they gave it a clean bill of health, my issues are more "skyline modification" specific which they didnt pick up, nor did I expect them to - Hence my comment that they are infact very thorough, but to get it checked by a specialist/known tuner in addition if they give you a clean bill of health. Or I could have been very unlucky - I would still recommend their services in any case.

I'd just call them and ask them politely, I'm sure they'd rather you ask first and get the information, as opposed to assuming.. and then having them crack the shits IF it's not allowed for some reason.

Yep that pretty much sums it up..

Saw a black r32 turning right from cotham road onto glenferrie on sat, about 6pm, while I was waiting on a tram Had SAU stickers

As the title suggests, I require an engine loom, from a R34 GTT. This somewhat akward request brought to you by Victoria's awesome EPA laws in relation to ECU's. Happy to pay shipping, so if you have one, know someone who has one, and you live in frigging africa, it's really no issue!

Be careful though, I had State Roads inspect my car and give it an absolutely stunning report, enough so I bought the car. It'll be a few thousand dollars and a couple of months @ RE Customs and Status until this thing is what was actually advertised. So I personally would use them again; but then I'd take the car to a well known, reputable workshop to check it, again to be 100% sure.

Not a bad price either actually..

Except everyone you are around is running the risk of you plowing your high powered car into someones child. Slim chance? Sure. Chance of it happening ONLY due to your car having more power than you are legally allowed to drive? Even slimmer, probably astronomical. It's still higher than the allowable level of risk. Yes, you are young and dumb - these rules are put in place by people who are NOT young, and are NOT DUMB. And when it comes to safety, especially to others', "NOT DUMB" trumps everything else.

Thats exactly the info I was looking for - So when it comes to NA+T forced induction rules apply, if anything, youd need a bigger exhaust than a standard turbo engine. Unless I'm completely wrong. Thanks for the thread hijack

Dumb question/hijack thread but why not.. Why is this so? The guys with FI are always very big on larger 3" exhausts (or bigger) - Why is this not the case with NA engines? And while I'm here, with a NA+T - Is there a middle ground on this? What "Rule" applies, the NA rule where too big can be a decrease in performance, or the FI rule of thumb where bigger is better?

Great thread, would read again. And possibly buy nikes.
