got a yellow and going over the pits probably tuesday.

the motor has been rebuilt and u can obviously hear that its got big cams in it.

if the examiner asks whats in the motor, should i just tell them that i dont know, or that it just has cams?

it also has a high mount turbo.

hope i dont get into too much trouble.

No point asking interstate people about passing the pits.

The regulations we have here in WA are pretty tame compared to those in the eastern states.

Claim the motor is a standard GTR motor, with standard GTR cams and management.

The guys at the pits don't care too much about internal shit, and if the wastegate is plumbed back the high-mount will pass easily as well.

They're more concerned about height, suspension, oil leaks, noise, tint.

Make sure all of these are legal before you go anywhere near the pits.

yeah got the exhaust done on wednesday, it now has gate plumbed back, 2 mufflers, a cat and realllly quiet! even the bee*r limiter doesnt make any noise!

but lost quite a bit of performance. and it now sounds like a porshe lol.

ill tell them its all stock then.

but would the turbo / manifold need a engineer to look at it?

can you turn the idle up a bit maybe 1200? might seem a bit smoother just tell them youve been meaning to turn it back down but never got around to it. take it there warm and there is no way they will pick up any internal motor differences like forgies not that they would be illegal anyway

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
