I think all RB's are in the same place, there will be a big RB20/25/26/30 cast into the block near the front and on a little machined surface near the bellhousing low down on the passenger side the engine number is engraved.

So you always know that when a cop says to you "You've got an exhaust here" to which you reply the usual bemused "...yes?", and he says "well that's illegal", to which you reply "well it's quiet and not at all low, how can it possibly be illegal?" and you get the reply "well you tell me sonny!" that you're really in for one hell of a night...

Got done for:

Incorrect stearing wheel [Yes I spelled that right, and I'm pretty miffed about taking mechanical advice from somebody who can't spell steer]

Stearing fluid leak [Fluid, around steering fluid vesicle is often found in the middle of storms when you've driven through puddles, only it's called water, pretty standard mod nowdays]

Breakes *REPAIR* [Didn't get any insight onto what's wrong here either actually, pretty standard stock brakes that y'know... work 'n' all]

And all of that got me an off-road-order.

I'm just wondering, will they only check that list? Or do you get a whole vehicle inspection? I mean, that small list is easily fixed already, since most of it's bollocks, but do I have to go to the trouble of swapping back small mods to pass the pits?

They used a little bendy extender mirror to look at my engine number, I was thinking "sigh, here we go they're about to find out it's an RB30.." but they just notarised it and voila.. R32 GTS30t :D

lol! ditto

ur car can break dance, wikid.

yeah pits take a very brief look at what cops wrote, laugh with you at the fact that police dont know what they are on about, then they tell u whats really wrong with ur car. my advice- cans of degreaser.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
