Hey All,

Just moved down here a few weeks ago from Sydney. Living out west.

Not too sure what the rules are down here for registration. Do you need a RWC every year when it's time to re-register your car?

I've also seen there are some threads for wreckers etc, does anyone have a preferred wrecker they go to?

My R33 is a bit damaged and I need to do a bit of work to it here and there.

I'm in Truganina - which is next to Hoppers Crossing.

Hmmm luckily don't have too many mods yet, guess I'll just need to make smart mods and try and hide them as best as possible.

Yeah I've heard that if I drive into the city, there's a pretty good chance of being pulled over.

Hah!

Westside eah...

You will be welcomed by the the Nissan Sideways (Nissan Silvia) members and there are quite a few SAU members out there as well.

1 intake mod only in VIC, so if you got an air pod, not allowed to have a front mount intercooler.

If you got a front mount intercooler, no air pod allowed.

It you got both, box up your air pod.

exhaust, just keep it quiet and you will be fine.

height, keep it above legal limit (100mm I think) you will be fine.

Drive responsibly and stick to the law and you will be fine.

Welcome to Melbourne!

Hi EXTR33ME,

I'm in the Hoppers Crossing area too. Haven't seen many Skylines around our area thus far. Is your GTST a white one? Do you park at the station? I think I've seen your car around.

I'm after an after market handbrake cover. I bought a few from Autobarn and Super Cheap Auto, but they are all shit and don't fit well. They use super small grub screws that don't tighten at all, in fact, they fall right through :(:( I removed the old worn leather, it looked like something just died...

Not quite sure where to go to get a decent handbrake cover...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
