These have all been answered before dude. Learn to search, learn to spell too...its healthy.

Screamer pipes and any kind of exhaust air exiting before the last window is illegal (might need to be a certain distance past the last window, not sure, but inside the engine bay is definately illegal, no penalty, yellow sticker)

Pod filter you should be OK but some people have permits for them, need to be secured at 2 points.

FMIC requires a permit

18" should be ok seing as theyre not 2+ inches from factory, anything bigger requires permits, any adjustment of the total circumference of the wheel requires recalibration of the speedo.

Fibreglass bonnets are all good (as far as I know)

Exhausts - you need cats, high flows are illegal, and you need to keep it under 100dB, besides you dont want to keep it loud.

Oil Catch needs a permit

Height must bee atleast 100mm off the ground, at any point. They measure this with weight in the car, so keep it well above 100 to be on the safe side.

The bastards will defect your vehicle even if you have a mod permit.

Have a read of this CLICK ME, it's my personal experience with defects to date.

Keep it legal and get screwed over anyway, or do whatever you want and get done for something that you did.

It's your call.

The button up at the top right of the page maybe?

Anyway, why do you want a screamer pipe and a loud car?

my other skyline has a straight threw 3" turbo exhaust no cats nothing. and i had a leak on my exhaust manifold so the easiest way of fixing it without pulling my exhaust of completely was putting a screamer pipe or waist gate which i did..

my skyline i use daily has a 3.5 turbo back exhaust with a 3"dump pipe and a hi flo cat and i passes pits with it, in fact both my cars have been yellowed and ive passed pits and ii no there some illegal shit on them so thats why im asking wats legal and whats not

but to answer your question i just diss like driving a performance car that is quiet.

Leak on exhaust manifold, so you put a screamer pipe on?

That makes no sense at all buddy, unless you purely wanted to drown out the sound of the leak with the scream.

Im not going to fire up a contradiction war, but why a screamer? why not a split dump? just as much effort, and less chance of a yellow.

If "easy" and "quick" was the way to go, I'd have been be registered months ago, and had countless problems between now and then - it pays to take your time and put a bit of pride into things :ermm:

I highly doubt you passed pits with that kind of exhaust setup, inspectors arent like cops, they do actually know their shit most of the time.

Police can sticker you for anything if they want

even a ciggy butt in the ashtray is a yellow sticker offence (classed as a fire hazard)

u should really do research before u go buying cars

vehicle regulations

thanks for your input..

my first car was a standard 32 and they yellowed me for nothing.

you can doubt as much as you want bro i have a straight through and they didnt say a thing about it, the only problem was it was too low and they let me of on the condition the car be raised

if i was to put a split dump pipe i may as well pull my whole exhaust out and fix the problem properly. but putting a screamer will do fix the problem just fine..

im really not fussed on what is legal or illegal, this post was purely just for my own general knowledge of what is aloud and what isnt.

i dont know anyone who would would want a quiet performance car anyway.

im a red p plater which means i get picked on irrelevant of what is legal or illegal on my car so or if ive done something wrong or if the pulled me over for no reason i really couldn't car less bout the f**king cops

Yet you made the title of the thread "Legal Not Legal?"

indeed i did.

like i said i posted the topic for my own "general knowledge" as i do not know the exact rules and regulations. doesnt bother me at all what is legal or not on my car tho. Im targeted being a RED p plater with a skyline unfortunately not the best of combinations

Buy yourself a Hyundai Getz and stop driving your Skyline. Obviously your intellectual is pretty much the same as a donkey.

Please let us know how much fine you get when you take your car to the pit and they find out that you've got a screamer

and a de-cat pipe. :D

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
