hey guys..

looks like ive found a buyer for my car and just wondering what sort of things are picked on for an rwc?

my car isnt big on the mods so all that stuff 'should' be ok..

pod filter, exhaust (that isnt too loud at all), not low etc

will they pick on things like the SAFC, turbo timer, boost bleed valve etc

my car isnt bodgy and im not looking for some backyard operation, but does anyone recommend any places in the box hill/doncaster area to get it done?

cheers in advance

james

most places wont pick up on boost controller, safc. Turbo timer is legal, it's not being in your car while it is running that is illegal.

They will omly pick you on exhaust if it is really loud, they wont measure the db or anything. Most places will get you for oiled pod or pod not secure, but only some will get you for having pod + cooler.

They will all usually measure height.

Then you have the other normal things, all lights in operation, safety devices like seatbelts etc, tyre tread, window screen cracks, brake pads etc

A turbo timer is not an approved modification.

It is illegal, whether you sit in the car or not.

Agreed.

Well if you are sitting in your car, then they can't tell the differance between the tt being on or your keys in the ignition :glare:.

It's never been legal; but i have never been pulled up on it, nor have i heard of anyone ever being pulled up on it.

If it is not wired up/working just unplug it and remove the unit for the rwc.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
