Hey Guys,

Just a heads up... I think the boys in blue are doing a crack down as we speak as i have noticed alot of defect stations over the past 2 weeks especially down south near Seaford...

PLUS: when you get pulled over at a defect station on the side of the road, do they pop your bonnet??? I was deffected about a year ago, and they booked me for ride hight and they didn't pop my bonnet but i was thinking as my car is nice and stock on the out side appart from mags and front bar, weather they would pop my bonnet and look for other things???

Cheers

Ive been through 5 times and never had to put a stock exhaust system back on.

Last time I went thru I thought it was kinda loud. Turned out fine.

Turbo timer not just disconnected but fully removed.

It's illegal to have a turbo timer installed? How come i can pass a roadworthy with it connected though?

Never mind...

Car is completely stock engine wise...

However, is it illegal to have a front strut brace or a boost gauge mounted just on top of the air vent of the drivers side???

Cheers for your help :worship:

Strut brace fine. Boost gauge no

Depends where the boost gauge is, if its in a vent or down below the dash it is fine, on the dash or a pillar you can't have it though.

Turbo timer is illegal because if you have a crash and the car get a fuel leak and it keeps running, sup massive fire. They shouldn't have given you roadworthy with it connected.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
