good to hear u got through mate

Obviously coilovers, lowered slightly, airpods, wheelspacers, Kakimoto Dual N1 exhaust & BBS wheels with 265 rubber are all OK as long as they're within spec and all mounted well.

lol, no they arnt. a cop shop inspection isnt very thorough, they will check whats on the defect, and depending on how lucky u are they might have a suss of other things. but just for future reference:

coilovers are legal providing they are not height adjustable, although by the way u said that it makes me think they were. even if they are at legal ride height they arnt legal if they are able to be lowered below or above the legal limit.

pod filters are legal in SA providing they are secured. wheelspacers are illegal unless fitted from factory, aka pretty much not legal for any car. exhaust might pass, probably borderline. 265 tyres indicate probably a 9" wheel knowing BBS, 9" wide is illegal, it gets more technical with regards to how it affects track, but basically they are illegal.

so count urself as pretty lucky, saying that i have passed cop shop inspection with straight through exhaust etc, they just checked what they needed and ignored the rest.

lol you took it down on the right day

41deg and all they want to do is sight it "Yes thats a car lets go back in side now" ;)

well done man

Yeah, I think you're both right. The shed at Sturt was about 50 degrees inside while the small office was air cond. While the one inspector (by himself) isn't inspecting, he sits in the small office and it was 10 minutes before closing time so I think he had enough for the day. He did ask to put my windows up 1/2 way so they are interested in things like tint and possibly anything else very obvious.

Wanted to stay low mount so I've already bought a pair of GT2860R 707160 -5.

No point in going top mounts or big single unless it sees the track or drag strip more than the street.

even then ya would'nt go high mounts or big single unless your looking for lots of lag and sub 9 sec times. GTR's were designed for low mounts and perform better in most areas if left that way.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
