1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

That would sound like garbage and you know it. Exhaust leaks sound nothing like atmo venting screamers. Interesting advise coming from a police officer though, as this would also be clearly illegal.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

So you think that you, the police, get to play judge and jury as to what the fine should be? We have seperation of powers for this exact reason.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Interesting, so you're admitting that police officers you know have made decisions based on handing out infringements of breaking the law, not on the law that was broken, but the attitude of the person? Again, we have seperation of powers for this reason. We also have courts to overturn these fines handed out by overzealous police officers who believe they hold the power to decide what punishment is fit.

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

I hope you have lied about your position as a police officer. As you are clearly the problem with police today, you just have no idea. Maybe you should refresh your training, and your mates while your at it by taking a quick look at the QLD transport website. I make reference to this article. http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...ion_jan05v2.pdf there are many modifications which require NO engineers certificate as you mention. So once again, the guy who returned everything to stock was misinformed and probably misled by police such as yourself who are unaware of the law.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.

Dodgy road worthies have been happening for years and the fine that it carries is primarily based towards the person who is doing the road worthy. Not the motor vehicle owner. The mechanic is the certified professional. The car owner is taking their car there for certification of road safety and hence is not liable for the actions that the mechanic takes. I don't agree with dodgy road worthies but it's not the owners fault if the mechanic is dodgy.

Make of this what you will. I look forward to your response.

what is keegs like the one who is always right or somethin seriously dude ease up on people you don't have to try and prove everyone wrong seriously

I'm not trying to prove him wrong. According to transport he is wrong. I feel that he shouldn't spout information trying to scare people of their modifications when his information isn't correct. If your seriously offended...maybe you havent been active on the forums very long.

the big point that keegs hit on the head was that cops have no idea about half the laws they are enforcing with regards to modifications... how many threads do we see about people getting defected for legal mods ? i'd really like to see the ability to hand out defect fines by cops removed, or at least proper training provided so they dont hand out incorrect defects.

you muppits.

I said I work FOR QPS.

I didn't say I was a cop.

FFS..

The point I make with my first point is that yes.. a stock turbo with internal gate venting to atmo sound like garbage.. it sounds nothing like an external gated turbo venting to atmo.

it indeed sounds like an exhaust leak.

my second point was something you should all already know.

atmo venting wastegate is illegal.

If you get pulled over for something and your car gets checked over, the cop can decide to "overlook" the defect and just say "you can't have that like that, make sure you get it sorted, or he can go by the book and book you for the defect, AND, suggest that it be taken over the pits.

Ban me for telling you how it is?

what a bunch of fairies..

I've been a member of these forums for alot longer than most of you here.

only recently moved to QLD but that's not the point.

So this thread is about someone asking "who makes screamer pipes for stock turbo's"

I don't know..

but I have heard a screamer pipe on a stock turbo's skyline and it sounds like ass.

I also simply commented on someone elses point about the fine not being true.

Keegs... good reply.

and very true on most parts.

But as you said, there are cops who don't follow the law to the last point..

Same as most people on this thread yelling, "get no cat and screamers bro"

"double flames bro"

The skyline community goes on and on about getting bad publicity, and then we've got our own members with the above attitudes.

anyway, I couldn't care less what you do with your own car.

I was merely pointing out what can/does happen.

i was in my friends s15 the other week and he got fined for having aftermarket exhaust and fmic, as these are non standard accessories, when we questioned this, the cop pulled out some paper that looked like he just typed up at home and showed us where it said exhaust mods are not allowed, exhaust is also extremely quiet for a 3" and i doubt it would be over the legal limit, cop also said in june some laws are comming out which will let police tow your car away if you have any mods such as this, is any of this true or is it all BS, ps cop was also talkin up his 6.0l v8 and comparing it to the s15 (which he called a skyline) haha

hmm yeah i have heard of people getting fined for a fmic, but not an aftermarket exhaust if it wasnt loud. as for those rules, thats just BS.

IMO you should fight those fines, you are allowed to modify your vehicle acording to transport legislation. As I outlined before you can do "simple mods" without an approval so long as they comply with certain legislation (ie noise and pollution req's) If a cop fines you, take it to court, it's simple and it's the only way.

Scarface: That cop is probably referring to the "hoon legislation" which has been in effect for ages. Chances are he is, like many police, without any idea of the law and wish simply to frighten modified car owners with false information.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
