The lack of consistancy amazes me!

ossie's having major dramas, flake is flyin' easy, I got my car over the pits with a twincam 30 piece of piss and have seen many stupid cars make it over successfully (make engine for example when it was sporting twin 2540s in a commodore made it over no dramas)

I went over the pit just a few months ago, passed no problems but didnt give any permits for anything, though the only questionable thing i have is the pod and he just checked it was nice and secure and sent me on my way.

Not sure about "no longer", but at the moment they are definately making them harder to get. Got my yellow mid August & it's still on there...

From now on I think will just drive around with yellow sticker since they changing the stupid rules :)

I dont get it right.

Pits wouldn't give me permits for; POD, FMIC, strut brace etc when I asked, they refused saying I don't need permits for them.

I said "Well can I have them anyway, as I don't want to be pulled over and given a yellow for no reason"

They said "Well then the officer doesn't know what he is talking about"

Great. If I get a yellow I'm still gonna have to pay the $50 and waste a day of work getting it off!

F*ck the system!

Vehicle Safety Branch Examiner’s Instruction

Vehicle Intake and Exhaust Systems

Pre ADR 27C Vehicles

There is evidence to suggest that many ‘hang-on’ emission control devices for these vehicles are no longer available from original equipment manufacturers and/or spare parts suppliers. This applies to vehicles manufactured prior to 31 January 1986.

Taking into consideration the non-availability of emission control components, examiners do not need to insist on original equipment emission control systems being intact.

Consequently vehicle examiners do not need to issue a modification permit for exhaust extractors.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing induction noise is not excessive. These include cone or pod type filters.

Not withstanding the above, vehicles must continue to comply with the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 with respect to the emission of smoke.

Post ADR 37 Vehicles

Vehicles manufactured from 1 February 1986 must continue to comply with the applicable design rule for the year of manufacture (Australian Design Rule 37/00, 37/01, 79/00 or 79/01).

Catalytic converters and other emission control devices must be retained and functioning correctly. However where exhaust extractors are fitted a modification permit is not required.

It is also unnecessary to issue a modification permit for non-genuine air filters providing induction noise is not excessive and that all engine management sensors are fitted and operating. These include cone or pod type filters.

EI-107A (Feb 05) Application date Feb 05

or pm me your emailaddy i i can send you a copy of it :O

I just went over the pits and asked them for permits and got the exact same "you don't need them" story.. there's obviously a grey area between the cops and licencing places we unfortunately we suffer for it!

And no I didn't pass... yet :P

Um, ok then. But you would of course get whatever you needed to fixed before they sent out a demand notice for the license plates & the car becomes unregistered, right? :)

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      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.

      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?
