ok so Im moving to sydney from the wild west. and i have heard that the RTA is a lil bit stricter over east than it is in perth. am moving my r 32 with a cat back and fmic, bit i have plans for a bit more.

i have heard that the fmic ( I have cut throught engine bay for the piping) will be a problem going over the pits is this true????

is there a tiime limit of when i have to register my car in nsw or can i just keep paying registration in WA (will be sent to my mums house)

also am using auto trans for the transport duties from west to east , have been quoted $1003 will nothing in the car.

has anybody used these guys or do they know anybody cheaper/better??

any other tips you think would be handy for me to know about NSW would appreciate it alot thanx in advance

also am looking for a mechanic around the city area (am moving to balmain) and some one who will do good window tinting

Car should be fine, just dont go cruising George St (then you'll be a defect magnet) :O

Although yeah the police wil try and defect you for all sorts of things if pulled over and they're behind on their quota for the month (Ive been done for having "airbox too shiny", seriously)

FMIC will grab there attention any time of the day or night because its the easiest thing for them to see and it mainly the only thing they know lol.

my advice to never getting defected, just drive in peak hour traffic lol.... and victoria road balmain isn't the best place to hang around either.

depends where you live in sydney. I have owned lots of highly modified imports (like very modified) and have never been defected. but I don't cruise around the rocks at 10km/h with the stereo pumping and I don't cruise around bankstown either. so that would certainly help.

fair enough, i have been thinking about spraying the FMIC black you this will help i have a navy blue car. i plan on keeping the outside pretty stock. (no kit maybe a lil bit lower but not ridiculous, and no decals) thanx for the help guys

Painting your FMIC black is probably a good idea. If it's not shiny and doesn't stand out and you behave yourself then they generally leave you alone, that's my experience any how. Every one knows where the common hot spots are so if you don't want to get defected just stay away from them.

that doesnt work. I got pulled over on epping road in bumper to bumper traffic at 8:30am a few weeks back and got done for bald rear tyres.

i drive sensibly, dont go to known hotspots and generally mind my own business. yet i have been pulled over for "random breath tests" 3 times in last two weeks and followed home by cops. so if they wanna get you they will. as the last coppa nicely put "skylines are our flavour on the month"

no problem hey. i work for TNT and we recomend Ceva to do all our car transport cause TNT doesnt do it anymore but anyway thats not the point. the point is you saved some cash.

:ermm: hope the move goes well.

I work in Balmain and do the Victoria Rd drive from Ryde every day, haven't ever really had any trouble with Police/Defect stations even at night but then again i've only been doing it for 4 months or so.

You should be fine just obviously avoid George St etc + Any other hotspot where a good night means cruising round the same block in your cannoned civic 200 times in 1st gear.

Welcome to NSW!

To answer one of your Qs

Dual citizenship is possible. You can be deemed as a New South Welshman via your debit card, electricity & phone bills and...

You can be deemed as a West Australian via your dog 'er car registration and electoral roll details.

If you get pulled over, you need to remember where you're from (and put on ur 10 gallon hat + West Oz accent). lolz

Legally, I believe that there's a time limit though - check with the RTA unless you wish to keep "One Get Of Jail Free Card" called ignorance!

Great driving roads include...

i) Macquarie Pass > Kangaroo Valley > Cambewarra Mtn Rd > Berry > Kangaroo Valley Rd > Kangaroo Valley > Jamberoo Mtn Rd > Kiama > Sydney

ii) Old Pacific Hwy to Gosford and have a meal at La Porchetta Restaurant cnr Manns Rd & Central Coast Hwy (for Nissan lovers)

iii) Bells Line Of Road (strongly policed)

iv) Royal National Park & Lawrence Hargreaves Drive down the coast to Wollongong

Tez.

BTW, remove your radar detector & radar detector detector detector.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
