I was told that not having mesh over the intercooler is illegal Ricca, I don't have it on mine, but my car is also very sticker worthy, I'm just lucky *crosses fingers*

haha ur a girl you can play with their minds !!

:P

Was the guy that you had an Italian looking guy. Slightly short and chubby? that’s the guy i had when i first took my car over, he was picking on stupid little things and he was trying to tell me that he could have my car destroyed if he wanted to which is total crap! Little Hitler. he gets a tiny bit of power and it goes to his head.

Any way i took it back to o’connor again and got tall old bold guy and he was very polite and friendly. it went over fine. took all or 10 seconds of the him to check the car was ok and didn’t even bother to check a few things on my list. He was talking to me about how he liked skylines, the new 35GTR and about ripping skids in his wife’s V8 lol

i don’t think it makes a difference where you go so much as who you get when you go.

Oh and if anyone is having to go over the pits and has a fairly low car i recommend you get in the line for the pit closest to the entrance gate because the edges of the pit are a little lower on that one. All the others have a small drop off in the concrete where as this one does not. My car has just less than 100mm clearance and i was worried about it but went over that one fine. Also don’t go over with too much fuel in the tank because that will drop you down a fair bit.

Damn... this sucks Ricca. I've only ever had one yellow *touches wood* and I went to Welshpool. They were pretty good to me. The guy even gave me this booklet and said, "I see you want to mod your car so here is a booklet of guideline" Couldn't believe it after all the horror stories I'd heard haha

I can pretty much guarantee you wont get over with the fibreglass bonnet/guards, unless you know someone. Also i doubt youll find your intercooler is actually cold...... it just cools down the hot air passing through.

1st time i went over the guy didnt care about bonnet / guards he was a good guy he race's V8's or some doodle he only did me due to shockie leak and bold tyers

so i got coilover and fixed everything 2nd time this guys picked on everything (different guy )

Well i will try my luck on wenesday at Whelspool so touch wood it works out!

Only thing I reckon they might balk at if they're not in the "know" is the "twin" turbo thing (like insurance companies flip out).

Swapping engine as i know need Enginerring cert or complaice plates or something to 100% sure

but yersh might see u their will be going very earily!

Only if it's vastly bigger or different than the original engine.

It was as simple as change the engine number from RB20xxxx to RB30xxxx :D

I went to Midland also, booked the earliest available appointment (7:30am I think it was) which might have been the key to getting a nice inspector.. I think there was 3 or 4 lanes and he probably picked my lane as after talking to him, he rather liked skylines and thanked me for driving my car :D

Hmm actually, that was 2nd pass.. now that I think about it I think I got the same guy both times, first pass rego'd the engine and just found some minor stuff like an exhaust hanger off, a split boot had to secure the pod filter and a bit of piping better. Second time over he just checked the items he noted the first time and off came the sticker.

Maybe with the booking system they can utilise the inspectors better so that instead of being so random (and swamped), you get an inspector that knows your type of car..

Midland are pretty cool, got my pulsar re-rego'd there.

There is a place in Geraldton that I got my Torana inspected, he pretty much let me do the inspection myself and let me recitify most of the problems there and then, lol.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
