Are you in Vic?

I believe even if you aren't, ADR's state that on a car with AIRBAGs you cannot cut that section at all.

No AIRBAG = no problem however, i had an engineer sign off on something very similar, only reason was i didnt have an airbag factory fitted to the car etc

the person that done that did a really good job on it. looks stock and clean...not like the normal hack jobs you see. Paint your pipes black and i recon the average officer wouldn't even pick up on it.

+1

mine is similar paint pipes black on you should be all good, mine has been through about 3 inspections by officers pulling me over looking for a defect

and i have an airbag. so i guess if it doesn't look dodgy they will think stock. :happy:

Just my 2 cents

As long as you dont trim the reo bar for the core to fit,and dont trim or cut any structual part of the car ie: the rails you will be fine.If a copper says to you that the front clip(under the washer bottle) is structual he has no idea what he is on about.

But then again he is the police and will probably fine you anyway,even if you had an engineers certificate.

Iv seen many a non airbag car, engineered with a hole there (ACT) though it required a reinforcement ring, bracket etc. This means little though, talk to your engineer. Most wont charge you anywhere near $1000 each time.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
