^ Totally agree as usual Nik :D

The EPA laws for the most part are in many cases from 1992. Very out of touch with the real world as it stands today. However reforms simply won't come until the Gov't realise there is money in it.

As there most certainly is - do what WA do with the "mod permit" scheme. Each mod(s) require certs/permits as long as they are within reason.

Then charge money for such certs/inspections. Gov't would make a fk'en fortune and we could all drive legally on the streets (again, within reason) :)

Sadly it is the muppets that ruin it for everyone else. People putting blown/injected V8s into Cortinas case point number one. They just were not built to have 800hp motors in them and a LOT of people dodge the conversions up. Of course some do it right, but they are always a minority as it costs money to do a proper conversion mechanically.

Oh and many congrats btw mate :thumbsup:

Woohoo..coped my first defect in the Gtr after having my license for 3 weeks for being too low, it's only a minor. What ball park in price will I be looking at to get it raised, it has Olins coilovers

You're lucky. I got defected for height a week ago and they gave me a major so I needed RWC.

You would be looking at roughly $100 in labour to adjust suspension and then you should also consider a wheel alignment.

Do you know how much lower than legal it was? If it's not much you could get the mechanic to tuck the exhaust up a bit (by far the lowest point on mine when I got defected a few months back), bigger tyres will also help obviously if you're able to borrow them from somewhere.

If they look at the tyre placard then you won't pass with high profile tyres etc.

Sometimes they might, sometimes they might not.

Well hopefully they don't check. And Ric, the exhaust is the lowest point but it's low by quite abit exhaust tuck won't do much I reckon even though it's the lowest point

You can ask the suspension place to put some rubber spacers in. This may get you out of trouble and take care of some of the sag in the springs which occur over time.

Attending to the exhaust and raising it up slightly is a good idea.

Hrmm that sucks drove all the way to my house to borrow a C-spanner for nothing.

Not sure what you can do James because looking at your car your exhaust was very low

Either stock exhaust or stock suspension are my only ideas :(

the make it not hang so low? or if you want to get fancy they'll custom make the piping to go above shit, my one they made the hangers shorter i believe..

probably helped that i know them hence paying $50 but eh its really not that hard like your implying

Hmmm interesting.

Custom making piping is pretty expensive (definitely not $50), but I get where you are going with re making the hangars. That would cost your quoted $50, so you are spot on. Getting the hangers changed would work pretty well, so it's a good suggestion. :thumbsup:

exhaust tuck will 100% solve your problems you can get it basically flush against the under body costs fk all to tuck an exhaust

Flush under the body is going to melt $hit! you need at least 25mm (the requirement). Stainless sheet with air gaps are your friend.

I'm not implying it's hard. Hell, I made the whole stainless system on my 1600 including the dump (took me 4 days just for the dump mind you because I made it from scratch, but did get the flanges laser cut...)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
