Who gives a sh!t? Lets face it at the end of the day, u may buy your car legal, but will it ever stay that way for long? And lets say if by some chance it does stay legal, Johnny Law will find something wrong with it...so why bother i say.

But yeah, if its been engineered with the gear on the car as it is the state(tune/mod level) its in then its fully legal.

Sounds very tasty, u buying for yourself?

turbo upgrade alters emission and is illegal

turbo back exhaust is fine if its below the noise limit

fmic legal if you dont have a pod.

could be wrong on any of the above

cheers

Wait, i don't get it. An FMIC would be legal if and only if there isn't an aftermarket pod fitted?

Victoria sux~!

Actually at the moment i am just trying to understand the laws before I commit to anything. But hey, a r32 gtst with a stock rb26 would still make me a very happy man :D , I might just ring up some workshops and see what they recommend.

But just one other thing, there must be plenty of people breaking the law frequently, because when I go to car shows I see these cars which obviously have illegal modifications, and Victorian plates. Perhaps some people just have plenty of money to not worry about the police.

If your worried give Dean a buzz @ UPI on 9555-3611, he'll be able to sort you out. They were gonna install and engineer an RB26 into my S14.

n1 turbos u would get away with cos they come from factory

std gtr fmic is fine with a pod filter, aftermarket u wont get away with

exhaust is a legal mod so long as it comes in under the DB limit, and has a cat in it

thats so long as the car has been engineered with the rb26dett

So deans got an engineer that will sign off on the Rb26 upgrades in R32's. Maybe he just gave me a bullshit excuse.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂

      Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
