ARE YOU SURE thats how it went? ;)

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 ;)

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!

    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
