Its viewable from the front and isnt angled. Its legal, and passed regency without any hassles. I'd know about it if it wasn't.

-D

i wouldnt be so confident, regency arent gonna call you on sumthing like that, its a cop and cop only related issue. from the 1 officer i have spoken to about it the front licence plate must be straight in line with the front of the car and above 300mm high. i just went with a slim line cc plate on a bracket in the place provided so there isnt an ounce of IC coverd up.

edit** this would be the perfect thing for old mate neil to clear up.....

anyways im gonna go check this ns v sau thread for some lulz

Nonsense. It is a regency issue since they are the definitive authority for the stamp of approval. Them being "engineers" and sapol being "police"

FYI I did some reading tonight.... you're right about the left hand plates being legal, but so is mine - because the plates can have a maximum of 20' angle from front on - which mine is so close to front on, its not funny. and it never stopped me from getting owned by a speed camera (i got the notice for speeding 58kph in a 50 zone and it wasnt accompanied by a notice regarding the plates).

And why wouldn't I be confident Rhys? The relocation kit came from japan when the car was imported by its previous owner (writeoff) and it passed regency upon its compliance. The car has been here for 4 years and never had a defect notice. Fact. And I have been 'randomly' pulled over and then let off after a bretho check, and again on another occasion when they were checking registrations.....I can't believe you think that it would be otherwise, when you haven't even seen the car in person.... unless you're just doing your usual stirring shit routine and are basing your opinion on a 300 pixel avatar.

Died, was looking like a heated battle was looming between Ruby in the blue (mesh) corner for SAU, and everyone else in the red corner for NS :(

I admire his dedication to reply to every cheap shot individually, layed the grounds for a pretty good shit slinging match but it wasn't to be :P

there was some epic lulz to be had in that short battle though, if only they had let it go on longer :)

wheres this lulz thread on ns

hey Steve, with your twin straight pipes exhaust do still use a muffler????

i was thinking of going to a exhaust like yours and return my external gate to vent to atmosphere again (miss scarreng ppl)

Just personally, I reckon he faulted a bit with the discreet call.

Full body kit, shiny 18s and colourful meshing (which you've gotta admit stands out against the black) isn't what I'd call discreet or stealth, but anyway that point had already been argued :(

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
