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.

      By Butters · Posted

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
