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.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
