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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
