Anyone seen one of these before? Needless to say the car does not smoke in the traditional sense (a la Mitsu Magna!).

I'm thinking disgruntled neighbour, which hurts a little.....

Still, 7 years of GTR ownership and this is the worst I've had.

I'll expect one of those one day soon..... dat diesel smoke <3

Both fairly straightforward jobs. Really depends how fussy workshop is and how bad the leaks are. If you pressure wash beforehand and it's a minor weep it may not be an issue. ANother option is of cou

Cool, got my defect cleared. Took the Vicroads chick all of 5 seconds. No one came out to inspect the vehicle, but they wouldn't remove the defect notice. She said I had to do it myself. It's glued on pretty well, can't seem to get it off without tearing it. What's the best way to remove it?

I've searched SAU but no love. Googled and random things like hairdryer, solvents, nail polish remover, eucalyptus oil, razor blades, paint scrapers all came up. What's the SAFEST option for not scratching the crap out of the windscreen? I don't mind a bit more work. Thanks guys.

Sounds like past experience to me :D

lol... you want past experience?

Wait until the officer drives off and then pull the defect sticker off right away OR as soon as you get home.

Then just sticky tape it on once it dries (or just wipe the glue off and tape it on). It's only illegal to not display it... Says nothing about taking it off and immediately re-affixing so it's not a massive pain in the ass later!

That's true experience for ya :merli:

Just get a small bucket of water & rag.

Soaks off in a few mins.

Thanks. Came off slowly but nicely.

Whats the fine for driving defected vehicle? (as in you're in the peroid where you're not meant to drive it)

I needa get to work tomorrow. I'm on stockies at stock height, look like a standard civic.

$500 or $550, cant remember the current un-rego fine amount, it might well have gone up too.

Yes suspended - Which IIRC, counts the same as un-rego'd because the registration is technically not valid as you are driving outside the conditions of it.

After 1 month they DE-REGISTER the car fully at that point.

Either way it's not a slap on the wrist that you are expecting - so carry some KY if you intend.

Also bare in mind insurance won't cover you, nor will TAC should you end up in an accident

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
