Hey Guys,

I have owned 2 gts-ts in the past year, and got defected with my old r33 for exhaust / height / Noise / Pod.

I had to go to EPA, buy a standard exhaust / airbox and have the (HKS 4" exhaust) moved around to accomodate for the 100mm minimum height.

I have just bought myself a 1997 R33 SII Black GTS-T Manual......

I have:

Pod / Strut braces / sway bars / hks 4" power exhaust / front pipe / dump pipe / installing fmic next week / turbo timer (already got). and just some average mags that came with the car.

I plan on upgrading the turbo / computer / / hi flo cat / injectors / manifold / cam shaft / gears / boost controller /

I have ordered my front mount, and am wondering how, considering i have all these mods done I can keep cops from defecting me.

So do I just need to go get an engineers cert once this is all done?

I realise I will always get defected for noise if not using standard exhaust?

With the pod filter scene, what happens if i put some sort of pod in my standard air box and use the snorkel? or even buy a k & n panel filter can they still d*ck me?

I am just so over the cops troubling me.. I have lost my license and doing up my r33 for when i get my license back in febuary.. got done street racing in my old 33.. 1500$ fine. 1 yr disqaul. 3 months CAR impounded at enfield, i even made the leader!.

Yeh so come on guys shed some light on how i can get pulled over and not feel like I am about to get but raped and have to take my car off the road .....

If i cannot totally make this legal what i want is to atleast keep it conspicous and have a coppas not have a clue.... (hiding pod) (hiding powerfc controller) stuff like that.

FILL ME IN PLEASE!

:P:D

i am 99% shure that you can have a pod filter as long as its firmly secured (with no movement)

as for the rest.. the ideal would be to conform :P but a standard commo or falcon :D

F@#k the sytem, try to hide the obvious... as i have come to believe it was the display of my gauges ans pfc

that lead to my Skylizes demize!

HEy mate, from my experiences...

Pod / legal, provided it is secured i.e with a metal strap to the chassis

Strut braces / can be passed no worries

sway bars / non defectable

hks 4" power exhaust / good luck here, can get a restrictor to quieten it down

front pipe / dump pipe / non defectable, as long as the exhaust on a whole isnt pass the legal limit

installing fmic next week / all legal, make sure all pipinf is secure and mounted to chassis in some way. Also cooler cant be lower than front bar. And front bar can not be chopped up. Depending on who you get, a properly cut front bar will pass regency. Finally, must keep front intrusion bar (metal thing) in tact. Which can also be slighty modified professionally.

turbo timer (already got).defectable.

and just some average mags that came with the carnon defectable

turbo / / hi flo cat / injectors / manifold / cam shaft / gears /

these are all good, except turbo cant be visually upgraded, ie use a highflow.

computer / boost controller

these are defectable

you're only allowed one intake mod

ie pod with stock cooler

front mount and pod = no no

you'll get done for the pod before the front mount

which is gay

This is wrong, the eastern states have this rule but we don't (one of the only good things about S.A)

As the guys above said as long as its secure and not flopping around you're fine!

hey guys i just realised I posted in SA section sorry guys.. im in nsw i have re posted it in the NSW section.

I got defected for the pod as he said its for emission reasons..... and it was attached / secured to the body very well.. ill just whack one inside a box....

thanks for your input guys..

I've been told that a pod filter is fine, as long as it has a mounting bracket.

Also I was told that if any body work needs to be cut out for the fmic is could be defectable.

I bought myself a Blitz intercooler that returnes threw the original holes on the passenger side.

Turbo timer, defectable. If ya love your ride, just sit in it for a little longer. lol

Also been told that after market BOV's should be OK as long as it's a PB one.

But untill I get pulled over, I cant be too sure. :D

how about boost guages and where are they not allowed to be placed, i have mine right at the bottom of my a pillar is this illegal?

i got pulled over on the weekend and told mine was defectable ... i was subsequently let go with a caution... :sick: i am very lucky boy as when police say they followed u speeding for 300m and u say i belive i wasnt normally you get fined.. there is a little more to that story also..

are lambo doors a defect and eye lids <------seriously?

YES, eyelids may get away with as long as not altering the road height of the lights, ie if light still reaches length can get away with but wouldnt recommend them if you dont want cop hassles.

As for gauges good luck, apparently if you have the one gauge pillars are supposed to be ok as behind steering wheel but then again, cop factor, depends on how much they dont like you or your car. In dash mounted gauges are fine.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
