A message to all modified skyline owners in victoria, yesterday i got pulled over by cops and was slapped a defect on my skyline in the CBD. Funny thing is I had 3.5 inch exhaust system with a 5 inch tip, Nismo 400R bodykit, lowered springs, BOV, airfilter, 2 HKS pillar mount gauges, Microtech computer with handset (when caught) and the works etc.

I managed to talk my way out of it and was only defected by a "LOOSE HANDBRAKE LEVER" and need to get a RWC done.

PART 2 was RWC was done by a dodgy mechanic, so I took it to VIC ROADS, they didnt even bother to check my car! STAMP-FREE to GO! so whaddaya think guys? Also I heard that cops and on the prowl for modified cars, so beware!

Odd, from the outside my ride would look the same as yours.

Lowered, 400r kit but without modded exhaust.

I have been eyeballed by lots of cops and not pulled over once.

I spose whenever they see me I'm adhering to the traffic laws and not driving erractically.

Maybe my car doesn't look like a "hoons" car. :)

That bad-boy image will catch up with you sooner or later :)

HaHa, posting in relay here Jimbo.

I don't have a bad boy image, you know that. I have absolutely no interest at all in Louise's young friends.

Whatever you heard, I had nothing to do with any of it.

defection is nothing.

it comes with a modified car.

and the little 'dodgy-RWC' comment i wouldn't talk about that here.

And when we (i) organise cruises we have nothing to worry about. We've never had problems so relax.

Just got done in Fitzroy street.

BOV, should be easy to fix

Exhaust to low, hopefully the TEIN suspension, i can raise it

Nardi Steering wheel, no centre pad, (will have to check into this)

Front end to be aligned, although the tyres passed.

The last 2 are interesting ones, he said just get an alignment.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
