Okay guys. I just read through 18 pages of this.

Is it really as bad as it seems? I'm a P plater currently and will be driving a 33 soon...

Engine Mods

*TO3-4 turbo

*G-ready plenum

*Injectors

*Headers

*GTR intercooler

*GTR fuel pump

*Oil cooler

*Double plated clutch

*Up graded brakes

*3 1/2 inch exhaust system

Interior

*Recaro bucket seat

*Grey dash

*Turbo timer

*Boost gauge

*Pioneer sound system

Exterior

*400R full body kit

*17 inch white rims

*Tinted windows

*No dents and good paint

That's the specs there for the car.

I have to drive down Grand junction road to Old port road 5 days a week.

Am I gonna get defected on my first day?

Also. Exactly how much does an engineers certificate cost? Would it be expensive for the list of modifications there?

Currently drive an MZ20 but it's a dead sleeper, cops pull me over and don't even know it's a turbo.

To get the said car up there through regency, exactly what would I have to take off it?

Awaiting your opinions...

Cheers,

Aleks

urrrhhhhhhhh everything?

Engine Mods

*TO3-4 turbo > stock

*G-ready plenum > stock

*Injectors

*Headers > stock

*GTR intercooler piping must be neat and hole cut must be neat and sealed off with primer/paint/sealer to prevent rust etc..

*GTR fuel pump

*Oil cooler depending on how it was done and if it has braided lines they must be ADR approved

*Double plated clutch

*Up graded brakes all rotors/pads are fine, depending if the calipers have been upgraded?

*3 1/2 inch exhaust system Must be under 90db last time i checked so could be wrong (replace muffler)

Interior

*Recaro bucket seat must recline and be ADR approved

*Grey dash

*Turbo timer > stock

*Boost gauge depending where it is

*Pioneer sound system

Exterior

*400R full body kit

*17 inch white rims depends on width, tyres must be on or over legal parameters (yes they sometimes check load ratings on tyres)

*Tinted windows fronts max 75%, rear 30%, most likely gonna have to remove

*No dents and good paint

That's the specs there for the car.

Am I gonna get defected on my first day? YES, haha jk depends if you're in the wrong place at the right time

Also. Exactly how much does an engineers certificate cost? Would it be expensive for the list of modifications there? to engineer oversized rims (more than 2" up, 1" wider than stock) is around 3.5k so im told.. good luck with the rest unless you are sleeping with an engineer

Currently drive an MZ20 but it's a dead sleeper, cops pull me over and don't even know it's a turbo. nice cars

basically, clean the car up, don't drive like a wanker, have a good attitude and you might just make it through but if you do get defected be prepared to return lots of things to stock, fix leaks if any, fix bushes if any are worn etc etc...

things like injectors, fuel pump, clutch etc.. they usually overlook if the engine appears overly stock so shouldn't have too much trouble there

i may not be 100% correct about all the above but it gives you a pretty good idea

good luck with it!

I was hoping some would be over lookable. Rims don't look overly huge, they're kinda small. The car's neat, spoiler's been taken off, no bling no nothin.

Thanks ;)

I hope not though, car's a sleeper ;)

Aleks

you'll be ok mate. my car's a sleeper too.

no issues in the ownership of it, and none with the v8 sedan before that....would be right on 9yrs now without any issues, personally

drive sensibly and never get a speeding fine. drive 100% concentrating on whats around you, good posture, good steady clean control - no fkn about, and you'll be fine

enjoy your experiences!

    • When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
    • Today in Skyline arts and crafts!! I’ve made some progress.    had to put extra notes in there so I don’t stuff it up 😂
    • This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
    • So I ran into the same problem. I got stuck in the cycle of again of putting putty sanding it, putting putty sanding it, because of a low spot. And notice my block is not completely flat with the panel, even though it's a long block. My panel is slightly curved. Is this an issue? Do I need something that matches the door perfectly, or no?    I do have the smaller flexible block that covers the width of the repair just not the length, I was experimenting with it again to but seems to be the same issue
