Yea, flamin mongrel is quick. hehe

As for the car, senior officer gave him one month to take off all the mods and bring the car back to willy cop shop for an inspection. He didnt want to give him one week as it woukld be almost impossible to fix up in 5 days. Poor flamin mongrel haha, maybe when its stock il be able to give him a better run :blink: I was tripping out, this coppa new these cars inside out. lol

mustve been a nice cop to pretty much "let him off" in the way of no defect/epa and just make him come back to the cop shop and show him the car again.

still a hassle though taking everything off and making it standard.

What about the mods made them illegal? On p's or just not done with EPA in mind etc? I've always wondered this. If p's are gone. N u enclose your pod n do everything proper. They've got nothing to get u on. Or am I mistaken? Sumone fill me in. LOL.

last night saw a white r34gt at fountain gate driving around near magid drive and also a dark colour r32 with sau stickers at fountain gate maccas. gave it a little bit as they were leaving the car park lol.

lol

mite be my dark coloured r32.

ye thats it, just dont line him up. :blink:

I was actually referring to what he got defected for, normally they pick those obvious ones so you have to get a full rwc anyway, he sort of got off light but if this cop knows his stuff it might not be as easy as he thinks, clever move by the cop as well, this way he has to take it back to a cop that knows what he is looking for as opposed to some nufty vic roads worked who will just check what is on the bit of paper.

I believe enclosing the pod does not matter here in vic, you have to run a factory air box if you have a fmic.

Looking at that car though, im guessing he has an atmo bov, pod + intercooler, adjustable boost controller (not allowed to have that at all), probably a full 3.5" very loud exhaust, too low, non padded steering wheel, no charcoal canister and a host of other things.

tmu cops have always bragged that they can defect a car the minute you drive it out of a show room so if they really want to do you (having no water in your washer bottle will get you a defect) they will find some little thing.

Wow. After reading that list of mods etc. Now I understand. Lol. U can still get some serious power if you use your head a bit though. Internals, ecu ( no hand controller) boost controller in ecu or get stealth looking one, high flow exhaust doesn't have to rattle windows.

However, who said you had to sensible wen if comes to nodding. I think tgats half the fun. To a point...

spotted a silver R34 on bourke st last night in the city, i think it was a GTR, but not sure, coz i was half way to passing out on the party bus :blink:

Was likely me. Yay finally spotted :blink:

Today saw

1000: White R33 GTS-T number plate [NAIS], shopping list stickers and exhaust on Montague St, City next to a white 911 carrera. 1 white guy in sunnies in the line.

1100: Yellow R34 GT-T Latrobe St. 2 ethnic guys.

1215: White R34 GT-T Bourke St. Had side skirts probably bomex?

spotted a stagea on springvale rd today with sau stickers

spotted a red 32gtr on bergins rd/wellington rd going into the stamford =]

also spotted a grey 32 gtst at inetrsection of burwood highway/springvale rd

spotted LEANBAC i think at knox ozone parked there

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
