The Defected Thread...


Cubes

Recommended Posts

It's not covered in stickers :)

No GTR spoiler.

When i get it i'll post up some pics of the engine bay, it's unusual looking but very tidy and very stock looking.

Car hasn't got chrome rims, ain't dumped to the ground either.

IMO it looks sporty. Not really RACE like.

If i get defected then it's err...back to stock i guess :)

Sorry, but it sticks out mate, no matter what way you cut it. I've seen the owner drive that thing around (lives near me) and you can hear him coming a mile away :)

the engine bay mate if u know a skyline engine bay there is about 4 things u can notice a mile away.

- oil cooler

-front facing intake plenum

-aftermarket headers

- pod filter

not knocking it at all just making sure u know that (most) cops know them things if they have seen and skyline engine bay.

This is going to be the daily.

I got little experience with the RB25, but out of 6 cars I went and saw this one's engine bay looked completely different. If I do buy it I will take pics.

Front facing intake plenum? what is that? :S

And i know pod filters are obvious :)

if you noticed on some other rb25's they have the cross over pipe that goes across the motor! that's the plenum and cross over pipe! and i've never seen a manifold like that on rb25's before! anyone know what it is? or if it is a r31 manifold?

this is what normally a rb25 stock engine would look like

I attached a photo.

G-ready plenum ? that's what it says on the add.

Also further questions,

Where can I get an emissions test done and what happens if i fail it but am not currently defected?

Cheers,

Aleks

emissions can be done in a few places. i got mine done at sinergy motor sport buy why do you need it done???

and clean up the engine bay to keeps the cops happy. the cleaner your car is the less chance of having them ream you.

Don't you need to pass an emissions test to engineer mods such as injectors/turbo?

hi, just spent the last couple of hours searching around how to bring an interstate car into SA. Register the vehicle in your name interstate, then here you just transfer it over or take it Sturt for a VIN before the interstate rego runs out.

Now to my question which i couldn't find.........

What would happen if you left the interstate rego plate on full-time and they pulled you over and try to defect your car ? would it get sent to regency or would you have to get inspected in the state that its registered in ?

Technically you live and your car is registered interstate, what is the situation about getting defected interstate ?

pretty sure you cant get defected on interstate plates as its out of their jurisdiction ?

wrong Mitch doesn't matter where the car is from or going it can still be defected

if an interstate car was defected here you would take it over regency and if it was defected in its home state whilst transporting it here you would just take it over regency also

    • I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)
    • A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.
    • They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.
    • Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,  
    • I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
