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.

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.

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
