They will always be suss about a hi mount manifolde and turbo arrangement

Although aslong as (i am assuming its external gate) the wastegate pipe is plumbed into the main exhaust you sould be ok with with that, also if you can get an inclosed intake box as they will crack a wobbly about a open pod filter set up, if its possible and also if it has not been done already plumb back your BOV

I have had a rather suspicious looking skyline (matte black with huge wheels lol) and usually was able to go out without getting harassed, but its all in how you drive the car as they will soon learn your car and it will become a vehicle of interedt if your car has been reported/seen doing stupid shit, thats when they pull you up for no reason and go defect hunting, also if its not a local car they will pull you up and suss it out and maybe keep an eye out for it for a few weeks or so

But if the vehicle is ok and you don't drive like a lunatic you should be fine

mate generally its not the car you drive but how you drive

with that said, if you're cruising around a fully stripped 32 with a cage, straight thru pipes, and thats 2mm off the ground - yes you will get pulled over regardless

'Tis much worse after dark > or should I say, out of work hours...

'Tis worse near a maccas, KKs or KFC...

'Tis better if wearing a pin-stripe suit...

'Tis better if you look as old as me...

Gotta love the grey hair Terry, I laugh at the younguns havin a moan about how many times they get pulled over.

How many times have you been driving when a cop pulls along side, looks at you then shakes his head and drives away.

Hehe Noel,

I owned my R33 GT-R for 2yrs and a day. I have owned my R34 GT-R just 1 month short of 3 yrs.

Despite my massive tip, I've never been pulled over - not once. RBTs don't hassle me. I wear a beret now to hide some of the grey haha. No, I'm not gunning for a spot on Mythbusters hehe.

I admit tho' that if I went out a lot at night, it would be a different story.

I don't have to see 'blue'; I can smell it!

Cheers, T

C'mon Craig & Noel, sensitivity doesn't get calloused with age ya know.

My optimism only extends as far as this...

"I might be losing my hair on top; but at least it regrows thru the ears and nostrils" hahaha

What have we here? A collection of the DRIEST WIT SAUers on the forum!

...all on this backwater called 'Skylines A Target'

I'll always remember your contribution to "Which Mods To Do In Order" Craig lmao = one of the best posts ever!

BTW where is the OP?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
