2530 off, fmic is ok if you haven't cut into the reo bar, or chassis, and it is secure, secured pod is fine as long as it is secured tight, 3'' exhaust will probably have to go as it will be too loud, power fc will have to go, for safety sake the boost guage will have to go, as it is probably in the line of sight, 555's regency may just pick on, fuel pump is ok, afm will need to change as you will be taking out the power fc, boost tee has to go, and nardi steering wheel probably isnt ADR compliant so that has to go.

Good luck!

Aww man thats the biggest headf**k ever

can the power fc controller just be removed and the ecu left alone or does the whole thing have to come out?

defects suck (N)

quick question, dump pipes allowed?

mate just went through with his 3" dump pipe and cat on, but with a factory system from the cat??

you can go through with a full zorst as long as it is under the legal DB limit......i went through with mine just had it quietened down and presto.....so the exhaust size doesnt matter...

will a s2 turbo pass through regency or will it need to be the s1 r33 turbo?
I think your series 2 turbo should pass fine as they look identical externally and it is a factory Nissan part. But make sure all factory boost lines are in stock positions and you are not running any bleed valves or T pieces or ebc. Just run the factory boost solenoid wired on standard mode not on high boost mode all the time. And all should be sweet!! good luck :P

They dont take the cover of the ECU to see if its stock. but they do now look for holes for the hand controller. thats how they got me last time I went through. If they find that they automatically think you have a Z32

injectors will have to come out as the stock ecu cant run them.. unless u get a remap but thats $500

OR you could try putting your stock ecu cover over the top ond the power fc one and try your luck.. then afm, injectors can stay in..

they may or maynot check it..

i have been through MANY times and not even checked the ecu!

when i took my skyline through, i had my high flow on there with no heat shroud.. fmic full 3" tien high adjust AND PASSED!

they arent that picky.. they just check if roadworthy mainly unless suspicion of engine mods

Yes... they are. You got lucky

Rang up today to book my car into regency and was told that a new place at Lonsdale is opening up to clear defects on Wednesday's and Thursday's so i've got my car booked in for next Wednesday. Hopefully the guys who work there are chill.

Yeah def let us know how it goes!

Us down south need a place this way to get us off defect!

Hey, im taking my down to Sinergy for a pre inspection, but the rego has run out. Do i have to get a permit to drive it there or should i be fine.

Yep you definitely need a permit mate.....just do it on the day of your inspection and get the permit to go to sinergy first then to regency and back home .....if not the refer to VVVV

if you're thinking of driving it there unregistered, i hope you carry a spare jar of vaseline with you.
Just a quick question will a vg30 turbo pass regency as i really dont plan on doing this all again and rather have a hiflowed vg30 as opposed to a 2530?

Cheers, Chris

Yep it should pass without a problem mate....its a Nissan OEM part so not defectable....one would assume...

hmmm i think they will know that its not a stock skyline turbo.....

Nissan OEM parts are not illegal to have :P

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
