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

if your pod filter is 60% enclosed it is not a defect, if your fmic is covered underneath it is not a defect, as for the injectors manifold cam shaft and gear u need an engineers and boost controler defect!!!

Ok cool..thanks i guess I can make something up for the pod... fmount should b fine as its a series 2.... as for internal mods.. cops wouldnt have a clue though.. so its not like theyre gonna pull my engine apart to check my cam shaft......

As far as exhausts go... they defect me for (a) being to loud (90dB) (b) being an after market part on the car.

So I can engineer it to be on the car but It will still be over 90 dB... guess I can grab a standard exhaust like, and just run to EPA n back every now and then... I dont think a resonator / silencer could silence a turbo back HKS 4" exhaust lol.... if it could it would restrict flow / be bad for the car?..

:P

Dont drive like a tool, dont act like a tool, stay away from known defect hot spots.

Pretty simple.

Im not a dumb sh*t... i got defected just cruising in a back street......

Cops in Sutherland shire and the worst... ppls northshore sydney have it easy.... cops there are awesome.. they actually have crimes to worry about....

I thought simply having a fmic is a defect and has to be engineered as with ever aftermarket bit you add / change?

someone fill me in im not getting great answers. . thanks

Your best answer will come from whoever you are planning to get to engineer the car, they will let you nkow what you need to do to satisfy their requirements.

As for the northshore people have it easy comments, you know what... we do...lol.. but yuo know why? because we are a little more respectful of the law and in general we don't act like tools.

ALL THIS TOOL TALK LOL THATS MY WORD FOR STARTERS.... I AM GETTING SUBLIMINIMAL MESSAGES FROM ALL YOUR POSTS.... HMMM ARE YOU SAYING I AM A TOOL! HAHA im over this thread no helpful info.

What Mods Are Defectable?, How do I not get defected?

Pretty much anything that makes your car handle, perform, look better or promote complete combustion, (which is ironic) as alot of mods full under EPA violations).

I think these days what seems to be common on what's defectable or not comes down to your attitude to driving or in general, and the attitude of the so called "law inforcers."

Apparently an aftermarket gear knob which doesn't have the H pattern on it, or if you dont' have it anywhere near the gear knob is ment to be a defect. So competeing agains bull shit regulations, as stated above, just avoid "hot spots" and don't creat to much attention to yourself.

There are written guidelines about what modifications you can do without the need of an engineer's certificate. and also which ones need an engineers report. Go to the RTA website and it is very simple to find them. abide by them and you will be fine.

cool ill try find it...cheers

well Jase...

working in insurance and having a best mate as a cop,

all Ive heard and seen is that anything aftermarket can be classed as a defect.

but yes, I'll be reading those guidelines asap!

:D

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
