Hi guys and girls. Well to cut a long story short im another one on the list to be pulled over in my skyline (r33 gts-t), bent over and f*ked! On sat night i was at knox minding my own business gettin cash out of the atm and sum drinks with a mate and a unmarked VE cop car pulled me over right in front of the police station on burwood highway. It was the one and only officer petit (however u spell it, cant read it on the notice).

Neways, i got defected for cooler pipes runnign through a hole in the body, epa'd for pod and a list of fines such as high powered vehicle on p plates and my rear p plate had fallen off, so they got me for that to.

Im now in desperate need of a engineer to pass my car to get this defect off. Ive spoken to a fair few from the VASS list on vic roads website and they hav either said they dont do cars or they wont pass it after i showed them some pics.

Can sum1 please tell me who they used to get a engineers cert in victoria. Im desperate!

The only people that can give you a VASS are the people listed on the VicRoads website.

So if they say they wont touch it as is, thats how it is... and looking at those pics, i can see why as i've had engineers explain it to me in long discussions :D

No Engineer will ever sign off a chop job like that mate.

Anything that goes through there is not passable due to untested effects on air bags.

Time to get it properly welded up and the cooler properly installed.

i think any qualified engineer wont risk their licesnse to pass something that is obviously illegal. it aint cheap either i think. technically your car is deemed illegal hence the reason why the ones you have spoken to have knocked you back. your gonna have to pass the emmisions test which by the sounds of your mods you might not?

id say you'd have to make your car legal again to clear the defect. dunno about hipower for P's though. maybe someone else with experience can answer that one.

ive got a low exhaust pipe that i might have to re-weld to clear my defect. gotta do what you gotta i guess.

Look mate, here's my honest opinion - just spend the cash and get everything done right then get a legit RWC - this is what I have done... I've taken my BOV off, put my stock airbox on etc and now everything is good - for some sound etc, I really can't be bothered about getting defect notices... go stock as this is the safest and long-term fix... not worth it mate...

Good luck - I know it sucks... but get it fixed now...

As above

I doubt you'll get one anywhere, modern cars are a monocoque design...meaning every part of the shell contributes to it's structural integrity, with built in crumple zones to lessen the effects of any impact on it's passengers. Unlike older cars which had a full chassis.

Sounds over the top but that's how an engineer would view your modification to the inner guard.

The advise to return it to stock is sound advise, even better would be to get a car that's within the guidelines of your licensing restriction.

You might not have even got pulled in a 32.

ive got one for you....what if i owned that car,got pulled over and got done such as yourself.But instead i decided to unpick the skirt that sits between the rad support and the coil support and buy a new one from nissan and respot it in??If you have a major front ender and bend chassis rails and a panel shop gets paid from an insurance company to change the rails they dont make you get one of those reports......i would be argueing that

Petit got my mate for the FMIC pipping in his S15 the same way.

He got quoted quite alot to get it fixed and to get the engineers cert. To be honest mate, if you live in the area, petit is on any import cars ass, and he researches his stuff so he knows whats dodgey. I grew up in that area, and youll be lucky to get away with anything even slightly borderline. Sell the car and get a R32 GTST. Or return it to stock. Even then you will still have power to weight issues and the fines can go up to $1k now from memory, so not worth it.

PS: Ive actually had Petit come out to my house when there was a BBQ because there was too much noise. Several modified imports sitting out the front. But everyone was drunk and noone was driving so he didnt even bother. Lucky for us.

he can be an absolute ass from what i have heard, but he is just doing his job to the letter of the law mate. If your gonna be risking the safety of your car by doing bodgy jobs you gotta expect stuff like that to happen. Just get it fixed up and away you go :devil:

Not too sure about the too powerful. Do the r33's fall under the p/w ratio?

R33's do. A standard R33 GTST is over power/weight for P Platers. You can get either an NA R32/33/34 or a R32 GTST.

so basically you have no chance bud, you license will be gone quicker than you can imagine if its 3 points and a $1,000 fine. Just think is it really worth paying $2000 in fines + the cash to fix your car up to standard plus losing your license?

Maybe sell up for an N/A or a 32 gts-t?

Next time our good mate petit see's you (if he remembers your car) expect to be pulled over and raped again!

p.s if your car IS over the p/w ratio you should have lost your licese anyway shouldnt ya?

no p plates = 3 points and over p/w = 3 points?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
