Hi, guys,

I ordered a HKS GT2835 Pro S (0.68) from nengun but I was wondering if my car will still be road worthy if I install it. WIll I still be able to get my road worthy certificate (pink slip) if I install the turbo? I reside in the ACT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's low mount, so it shouldn't draw big attention like a high mount would.

Anyway, you can get a new turbo engineered to it's 'legal' (but any police officer can still serve you a defect notice so that you have to get it OK'ed again at the pits - may just require you showing the engineering report).

You know who you COULD ring? the RTA. And get a defnite answer. You don't need to give names or rego numbers while asking this kind of question, and they will give you the URLs of the appropriate doco (if you can't find it on their site).

Changing turbos is not against the law, modifying the vehichle to accomidate can be aka atmo wastegates ect.

Pro S

So that side of things wont be a problem...

But yeah at the end of the day a cop can still deem it unroadworthy/defectable

Slightly off topic but what car is it going on?

Pro S

R33 GTS-T.

My concern is however, I recently purchased the car, and I have to go through the pits in a couple of months time to get it inspected in order to get my pink slip, but I am planning on putting the pro S in in the next couple of weeks, thus, by the time I take my car in for inspection (roadworthy certificate), my pro S will be installed.

I don't mean will;l I get defected by a cop, what I am trying to ask is, will I pass the inspection in order to get a road worthy?

Maybe I should cover it with the stock heat sheild, but Id have to modify it....

mate if it's not leaking any oil and or coolant, then you will pass a road worthy.

road worthy certificate is more about making sure the car is pretty much that.. Road worthy.

how much tread is on the tyres, (including spare).

any oil leaks?

any fluid leaks?

brake test.

they measure the brake discs to make sure they have at least the bare minimum thickness.

pads have enough meat.

indicators work.

parkers

headlights.

high beams.

brake lights.

windscreen wipers and their rubber without streaks.

Battery load testing.

that's pretty much it.

You could have a high mounted T88 and they wouldn't give a crap.

The mechanics that do the road worthy that is.

cops are a different story.

Too impatient to just wait until you've got your RWC, then install it after? In ACT, once you've got RWC, I don't think you ever need to get it checked again (I've never needed to after buying a car), so noone's going to go looking unless you get pulled over and sent back to the pits.

Could you wait there patiently while the HKS GT2835 is starring you in the face saying "please install me, you wont regret it"?

Rego runs out in August, that's 6 months away, turbo gets here soon hopefully (2 weeks), nengun keep pushing the date back.... getting pretty sik of it...

I can't wait 6 months to install the 2835, I'd rather pay money to put the stock one back on for rego :D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay

      Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha

      "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD

      I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
