yes they probably will check everywhere and anywhere, including pilling off the ecu kick plate to see if its aftermarket.

Dont expect to come through first time and u will be ok. U will be suprised what they are most likely to pick on. Inspection tends to take as long as they feel like being picky.

They generally don't check for aftermarket ecu's unless its been defected for it or something doesn't look right. i.e different injectors, afm etc.

Regarding turbo timers etc.. Just make sure its disabled and if possible shove it right up behind the dash where it can't be seen or felt. Good luck getting it back out though as there's next to no room up behind the dash's of these cars. :thumbsup:

just make sure you fix those problems for the next inspection and you're bound to pass. Seems like the majority of the problems listed you can do yourself, if you're willing haha.

    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
