The elderly and turbos do not mix unless attached to a 2.5L Diesel towing a caravan ;)

On another note when is the next wreck coming in???

turbo timers are an instant defect, illegal on sports cars and they're a waste of money. well they can fine you $150 dollars for each defect they find. there is no set time frame you have to "get it to regancy" even if it runs out of rego just get a day permit.

To the guys out there that run a greddy intake manifold, have you even been defected for it? Or can you get defected for it??

Cheers

Get an idle emissions test and send in an application to modify your vehicle, they will come back saying you need an emissions test, once you have that you can go to regency to have it inspected and then you will get a nice piece of paper to put in your glove box saying you are A-Ok, if not then you are up to the mercy of the cop.

Actually even with the piece of paper you are up to the mercy of the cop.

You can get defected for your exhaust not looking standard, you can get defected for things that do no even physically exist on your car so if they want to defect you, they will.

Basically if you draw the wrong sort of attention, guaranteed defect no matter the condition of your car.

Just play the game as best you can and don't drive like a dickhead and more often than not you will be fine. I got an application to modify my car with all my mods listed, idle emissions test and keep the inspection record in my glovebox, if your car looks stock, you show them this and don't act like a twat you'll be fine the majority of the time,

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
