funniest thing was it was on my way to work i was on my way outside the carpark LOLL :( so close yet so far.

Man that sucks!

Anyways guys, my defect is now cleared ($517 later).

Went back to vicroads and they had trouble finding the certificate again!! They eventually found it on the system, stamped my defect and said have a nice day.

No more strange looks at my car now with the yellow sticker gone. I think to onlookers, a defect sticker gives them the impression you are a criminal and/or serial killer/rapist

Hey guys,

I've been talking to Pettett via email. The guy is quite friendly and he is more than happy to answer any questions in regards to modification.

yeah... quite freindly... kinda like a guy f**king you in the ass and then giving you a reacharound

just a thought not being cocky or anything.

they only reason why the engineers don't sign off on the airbagged skylines is because it hasnt been tested ? wouldnt it be so much easier to get like a fund drive to get like 1-2 r33's or 34's and put front mounts in them and crash em and see if they change the impact and shit.

would it matter if its turbo or na ?

could get some race only skylines imported slap some front mounts on crash em with an engineer next to u or whatever then they coudl see and would sign off to all the intercoolers being on ?

just a option.

They cant do anything if your not in the car.

i know its a bit late but had to pick up on this one. i was at trade school one day when the cops did a sweep through at lunch time, when nobody was around, heaps of people (me included) came back to find a sweet canary on the windscreen with a sealed packet that contained the list of things wrong. cops were long gone before anyone came back. c*nts (in all fairness my car was a fair nugget tho lol)

honestly everyone knows that its a defect so YOU will have to fix it. I'm not sure if you might go speak to the machnic that issued the RWC and make him pay the bill as he has passed it for RWC when the car is defected

Well mate this might come as a surprise but i actually did not know that its a defect since its the first modified car that i have ever purchased.. and none of my mates have cars with front mount intercoolers so had no idea about the hole cutting in the battery tray..

Even if i have to fix it, does anyone know of any engineers around the South Eastern suburbs where i can go to get this done?

Cheers..

Hi,

I really do feel your pain my friend.

Call Tony at 'TGS Muscle Cars', in Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin.

He has (had) access to a great engineer who helped my brother and I out with this same issue...a little over a year ago.

I hope this helps....you can only find out!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
