well i got done for my:

exhaust - i wanted to get a new quieter tip anyway

pod - will getting a pod enclosure pass me?

tyres - sorted

ground clearance - just my sideskirts are low, i could just take them off

and i got this other one that says "engine modifications to comply with standards".

i dont have any engine modifications other than the ones he mentioned.. and even if i did, can he defect me on something he cant see himself?

EDIT:

so far ive sorted:

- ride height

- airbox

NEEDED:

- standard muffler

yeah i got screwed.

ive got to get a blue slip for this one.

the front and back are fine.. its just the sides, they sit around 60mm off the ground.

i dont have the chromies anymore, its sitting on stockies.

you shouldnt need an actuall blue slip..

just someone that does them..

all they have to do is sign the bottom of the defect and done!

mate i hate to say it but that car with a loud exhaust, bright yellow paint job, body kit with our without the chromies is going to attract the friendly eye of the boys in blue. especially if you are still on Ps. (think you are?).

it is harsh, but perhaps think about a more sedate colour/body kit choice next time! lol

haha yeah but i like my colour :)

my aim is to get my car streetable anyway, i just need tyres which will be sorted anyway, my exhaust which i wanted to quieten, my sideskirts make the car low so i could just take them off.... im not sure about wether or not i can use a heat sheild for the pod or do i have to use a standard airbox?

Your best bet would probably be to borrow a stok box to get it cleared, and then put the Pod box on after that to decrease defectability

Yeah N1_R33_GTR.

I forget what they all mean totally but I think its like

?? = Vehicle must only be driven to workshop and back to clear defects.

Yellow = Driveable - defects must be cleared in ?? days.

Red = Can't drive vehicle. Must be towed.

I think it's something like that. Ive been lucky enough to never cop a defect yet.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
