freeze it and chisel it off...... get a socket bit and whack it in until it gets into shape...

I was under the impression that changes like that affect emissions, and any emissions change means big issues as you would then be up for emissions testing. Some can correct me if I am wrong. Perhaps ring regency technical enquiry line and ask what are the laws about changing plenum?

Why is it that most ppl with skylines are getting defected and they pull me over and say nothing about a defect.. Got pulled over last night, all he did was shine the torch at my tyres, which are almost brand new, and yeah, let me go.. Guess owning an import your bound to get defected sometime...

P.s. I agree, dont drive anywhere near the bay on friday and saturday nights..

thnx for the help guys concerning the wheels nut. i smahed the crap out of it with a hammer and a 18mm socket abd\\nd as we speak my tyre should be getting fixed...

wat sort of issues would i b facing with my plennum.?

there was easier ways then those 2 but if it works it works :D

also, from the picture youll have to put the standard heat sheild back on over the turbo if it not on there. if you dont have any of these parts just take it through as is and get your list. much eaiser then pissfarting around trying to find bits that they might not even do you for.

to reduce getting done for the plenum, would it be worth going and getting the turbo tuned right down along with the fuel ratio/mixture or wat eva u get done lol...

Its a HKS Turbo..

This HKS turbo replaces the stocky in standard position and is internally gated.

The plazmaman plenum pictured uses the stock runners.

Note also the plumb-back BOV, which is legal.

None of this really matters, what matters is:

1) suspension allows underside to be at least 100mm from ground

2) noise at 3000rpm

3) emissions reading from exhaust

I havent been online for a while so I'm probably too late.

The TEIN suspension is fully adjustable and you should be able to adjust the ride high to meet legal requirements. That said, the only thing that was illegal was the exhaust being too loud, just needed a resonator or or something to take the drone out.

Let us know how you went huh?

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
