Hi,

Considering a few more bits + pieces for the car and was curious about how much trouble this would cause with Rego / RTA.

Live in nsw (so need to have rego check every year) but work in canberra so wanna make sure pass any random rta inspections.

car is R33 gtst

Car has a little done to it, next things would be

-adjustable boost controller (is there an alternative?)

-fmic

-pod (well maybe)

Having read some of the forum, I'm pretty sure that with at least some of these things (pod) I wont pass rego but am keen to hear ppl's experiences.

Thanks in advance for feedback.

cheers

Max

In the ACT, you still have the one intake mod apply however, myself and others have gone through Dickson with a POD AND FMIC installed. You have to make sure that the POD is well secured in place and not flapping about and the FMIC well, as long as its not dodge on the install, should be fine (having said that, i still got my POD and FMIC engineered before I went back to stock air box)

As for the aftermarket boost controller, that will fail. You are not allowed to be able to modify boost from factory. In reality, if its a manual controller, just remove it and go over and then put it back on.. If its electronic, have it installed in a nicely hidden place.

there is a great place i QBN i got to to get rego and clear defects. always pass with pod, fmic, coilovers, adjustable suspension and a heap of other mods. only ever failed there for too low, worn tyre, and too much play in rack ends. pm me for place so they dont get any unwanted attention.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
