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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄

      Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
