Found Myself A Turbo Timer

Well last night i was driving along in my car, as you do in a car, and to my surprise something started obstructing my feet from braking and pushing the clutch. It didn't affect it to the point where i couldn't use them it was just very annoying to use the brakes and clutch.

To my surprise, a greddy turbo timer had dropped down. It isn't connected or anything but i was surprised to find it. I don't have a turbo timer so this might be good for me. I am surprised that the guys installing my alarm didn't tell me anything about it.

Now the questions come to mind that has my car been as stock as a rock as it was said when i bought the car for it's whole life. I have also found out that the speed limiter has been removed. I am not sure if my mechanic removed it when he did my clutch because he also took the restricter out aswell. I had gotten to 180 before i gave it to him but i never tried going over and after the restricter was out i tried to test out if it was there and it wasn't.

So what are your thoughts guys.

I wouldn't mind a free greddy turbo timer........I wish one fell out of my car and into my hands......let me know if a powerfc drops out of your car too...I'll have it hahahaha jokes man :D

But yeah, was your car imported in the last couple of years?

Mine was. It had modifications before it came to australia and it was taken back to stock to get complied. I'm the second owner of the car in australia, and the first owner didn't say anything to me about it having modifications prior to it coming to australia.

It was a bit of a shock cause i thought something broke off. I just checked then and 2 powerfc's fell out. I'll send one over to you :lol:. I WISH.

My car was imported in january this year and i got the car about 15 days after it got complied. Technically i'm not the first owner but i bought the car of a guy who does the importing. It had only done 50km in australia since being complied.

It had an aftermarket stereo and it had some holes inside the car where something was mounted but i'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was modified maybe it wasn't. I'm guess it was more than stock though before aus. It does have 33 gtr rims on it and it is a white 1990 model so it would have been resprayed because i don't think they came out in white that year.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
