finally got my car on the road after 11 months. driven it for 1.5 weeks when i got pulled over on regency rd sat morning. the cop measured the height of the car and said it was 5mm to low and that the wheels were sticking out the guards, After looking around the car and under the bonnet he asked me if i wanted to go to regency. when i replied not really he said that driving the car around like this

is basically driving around with a big flag on top of the car which said defect me. i said i couldn't see the flag just joking with him as he checked my license and then told me to have a nice day and drove off without defecting me. what a tripper, i thought i was off the road for sure.

Very, very lucky! If you get a chance mate, call me tomorrow to discuss the motor, I'm very interested

yeh u can get his last name off pretty much any zero traxion clip, i wont post it up here as its not my place, but a quick search will reveal it if need be. also a bloke on here who's in the force, not sure if he's a full cop or not, but he's moved on to ford and sold his 33 as apparently they have no issues defecting the newbies cars when they come lol

Not defected but Im taking a 32 with a 25det in it through regency as it is from Victoria, with the brake upgrade will 33 slotted rotors and callipers on the front be enough? Or do I need to replace the rear brakes as well? and if so how much should I expect to pay for the callipers, I will be buying the rotors separately brand new.

Cheers.

Ok well here's the whole deal I am buying this car from VIC on Sunday and it is not engineered or registered with the RB25. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Eo...ts-t285533.html

Now he is supplying me with 4 stock rims, afm and stock cooler + piping. I can get a stock ECU, entire intake with injectors, fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator off a mate. I can easily remove the catch can, turbo timer and replace any bushes, the suspension is non adjustable and is above 100mm in ALL places. I can also get an EPA test done that will pass and the exhaust is apparently very quiet, also the pod is mounted to the chassis.

Now I know I am going to have to replace the intake and fuelling accessories, the ECU, put the stock AFM back, remove the vented catch can and turbo timer but can I get away the front mount and the suspension? Is it even possible to pass with the ECU providing it passes the EPA test with it installed? It is plug and play so no fuss replacing it but would make it easier if I could leave the ecu + the fueling system in place as this will be the biggest pain in the ass.

Oh also the engine numbers will obviously not match up as the car is still registered with the RB20, providing they check that the car has the R33 turbo brakes and it passes the inspection will they give me authorisation to get it registered?

Anyway thanks guys, wish me luck. I've got 2 months of rego left on it so I will just drive it around on VIC plates until I get all these things sorted.

If the car is stock is there anything else I need to do to the car to make it pass?

im half way doin the rb25 to my 32 and i was under the inpression u have to get a emisssions test? just to make sure the stock ecu is there and un modified. thats what i was told and told, and it dosent matter about the rear r32 brakes being almost the same as the r33 brakes, u must have the r33 brakes or the same year or above brakes when doing the engine conversion. This has been what i was told by my mechanic. and it might pay to make sure the slotted rotors are ADR approved. i dont think all of them are. good luck with it though, i gotta take mine through soon :domokun:

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
