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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
