I'm the Semi New owner of a 32 GTS-4 and have had the honour of my first defect which was...

1. Too Low

2. BOV

3. Steering Wheel

4. Gauges in A-Pillar

Now i had no problem remove BOV, Jack it Up (TEINs), Take Off Gauges and Leave My Steering Wheel cos it was all ok (tried tellin the turd on the bike that (adelaide guy)).

Now when i went to get it taken off the bullcrap RTA boys up in this hole of a town port augusta, i thought hey these boys won't know a thing, but hell did they bend me over.....

i have TEIN HA's done me for that, Boost Controler, Timer, No Cat on me Zust therefore making it too loud as well, Need a Full emissions report!

Now i've called MORPOWA which is where i get my work done and Simon(Mr 10sec EVOIII) told me that its all good and he passed wid his HA's on and so did Denzo now wot is the go with this can someone help me out?

Will they pass me or won't they with HA or should i invest in a pair of standard Suspension and Zust for future trouble like this?

And is their such thing as gettin a Boost Controller Engineered?

What hippy said.

That's the thing that really shits me. No consistency what so ever. Whatsisnames passed with pillar guage, but they made him remove his ADR approved momo steering wheel.

These pricks really need to sort their shit out - there needs to be some accountability - they represent the govt and the law, yet they seem to have no bloody idea.

God I wish I knew what could be done.

Regarding the Cat i've heard $5000, $10,000 and even $40,000!!!!

But hey have if you have heard a 32 scream at about 6500-7000rpm with no Cat then its kinda worth the risk ay cos o the sound plus the RTA guy said nothing about a fine or anything like that just said i need one that works etc. :rolleyes:....

But you guys that are out there in the know should know how JMS are helping me out hehe :rofl:

So yeah should be back on the road within a week but yeah it does shit me how there is no consistancy too. And also the cops gettin you for stuff they had no knowledge about (i had to explain to the Bacon Bikie wot a BOV was for etc.)

But as i was sayin i knew it was goin to happen and there is no way i'm going to "Lock or Weld Height Adjustable to Prevent Lowering Below Minimum Ride Height" :shake:

Any how is there any one out there that would like to hook up for a cruise (small group) with me and me mate wid a 33 M-Spec next time we in adelaide just drop me a MSG or mail....

This is exactly the problem I have with cops, complete and utter inconsistency. If the guy next to me got booked for the shit I get booked for, I wouldn't care. I see ppl run red lights every day, on my way to work I sit around the spoeed limit, maybe only 5 over, and ppl cruise past me doing 20+ over, but it seems they just merrily go on their way.

I haven't been booked by a chick, but the reeceptionist at work has a poxy Toyota Echo with little fog lights in the front bar, they are blue in colour, and she was pulled over for having them turned on, the male cop said, take them off, they are illegal, and the female cop pulled out her book to give her a icket, and defect the Echo... the male cop openly said to her, "What are you doing?", they had a private chat and then let the Echo go on it's way home.

Sad sad sad

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
