It needs to run properly, they will ask to drive it around the block if they suspect it isn't running properly or is too loud/has a locker.

Just make sure the nistune matches the injector sizes and don't boost it.

Hey all

I recently bought my 1st Skyline ( R33 known as outcast) and i got defected for:

- Aftermarket Intercooler

- Pod Filter

- Aftermarket Rocker/Engine cover

- BOV

- Boost guage

- Computer Boost controller

- Aftermarket steering wheel

A few things i don't understand is the Pod Filter is clamped down and doesn't move at all so i was under the impression it was fine? The BOV is a GFB Stealth that is Plumbed back and i was told that was fine also? and most of all the steering wheel is an ADR approved MOMO.

My main concern is will it pass with my HKS 25/40 turbo?, greddy mainfold? and is the trust intercooler or will i need to remove it? Also the rocker cover is a stock one except it has clear perspex in the middle with OUTCAST drilled into it so what makes that illegal?

I know barely anything about skylines as ive never owned one ive fixed/replaced everything i know wont pass (removed coilovers, fitted child anchorage points, removed gauges, hidden aftermarket ecu, removed tint,

etc)

any help would be appreciated

cheers lachlan

Aftermarket intercooler is not a problem unless you had to cut the reo bar. BOV has to be standard, regency do not like anything but standard. Computer Boost Controller or Electronic Boost controller is not legal either. Boost gauge is acceptable just depends on the location it is installed at and doubt that the rocker cover its going to give you too much trouble as well.

Has anyone ever been pulled over due to the E85 smell? Wondering how the local enforcement look on E85 tuned cars

Well it has lower amounts of all the nasty emissions so if they give you shit you should school them on it.

change the turbo and manifold, boost controller and bov back to stock, the rest is fine if you haven't cut the reo bar, call up regency and they will confirm.

aftermarket turbos will never pass unless you do a full emissions test and get an engineers report

Also hiding the ECU isnt good enough, they will ask you to remove the kick panel and show that you have a stock ECU installed, some guys will even unplug it to make sure it isn't fake so either put it in a standard case or go standard ECU + nistune.

You probably also have a Z32 afm and maybe injectors? they all need to go back to stock as well.

There is a reason highflows + nistune are so popular, they are basically the only way you can go through regency with 260kw and pass.

They don't want factory ones - they want Aus Standards ones. Our R33 has 3 of them that appear to have been fitted during compliance. 2 are bolted to steel brackets that are on top of the speakers, the 3rd one is in the middle of the shelf & screws into a nut that is pop-riveted into the metal under the parcel shelf. The 2 over the speakers have bolts going through the speaker grills. Any compliance workshop should be able to sell you the fittings or install them for you.

Hey...

Got defected in Melbourne but originally from Sydney. Had nsw plates on the car but a Vic license..long story short the HWY patrol officer got me for carbon fibre bonnet, tires being bald (although the tread markers were just visually showing).

And the third item to make it a major defect was my HEAD LIGHTS were yellowing.( all they needed was a good clean)!!!!!

I thought all I would get was a warning! But noo!

So then began a whole bunch of research. As stated by the HWY patrol officer there was a possibility the bonnet was Legal!!!

So I read into the department of infrastructures document on modified vehicles, which stated that fiberglass and composite material bonnets need to be 3.5mm thick excluding the gel coat!

So! Step one on compliance was obtained! As the bonnet was thicker.

But sadly after a call to the manufacture the bonnet wasn't ADR approved and is too expensive too! About 50K. (apparently)

After all that I put the stock hood back on and tucked my tail between my legs all the way to get a road worthy!!

Hi guys, just looking for a heads up, pretty sure a cop followed me for a while tonight and it got me thinking. Just got my Stag a couple weeks ago(loving it!) but it came with perhaps a few too many gauges ;) Haha i know they look crap, when i've got some extra $$ I'm gonna sort out some options.
But anywho, would I get defected on these:

As far as I'm aware the bloke did get a defect on tint and got it through regency however not sure if this was before or after the gauges were added. I seem to be reading that if there's anyway you can hit them in impact they're no good - there's no way my head is gonna fit there!

Also it came with a turbo timer hidden in the coin slot? I don't see why turbo timers are ilegal though! my fault if someone steals my car while its on.

Cheers!

Personally I would get rid of the turbo timer as you don't really need one. The gauges shall be fine as long as they are not above the top of the dash line, as mentioned above ^^^.

The only real problem I can see from a cops point of view would be that you are not clearly able to see the speedometer.

Get rid of volts and vacuum as they are completely unnecessary especially as you already have 2 other boost gauges (hint they do the same thing), move them around so you can see your speedo properly and you will be fine.

Also get rid of the turbo timer, it is a fire risk and unnecessary, plus a defect (because it is a fire risk).

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
