Right guys and girls going to the pits tomoz with my tommy kaira skyline i bought from over east....

Anyway was wondering what they will be checking i gather brakes lights all electrical items etc

But i am worried about little things like the suspension as its fairly rock hard and virtually no play in it?? plus it has no cats on it and a 3" straight thru exhaust.

Should i be worried about these 2 things?? car is on coilovers i think? and i have measured the car height and at its lowest point its 120mm off the ground i am under the impresion it has to be over 100mm??

Also the rear tyres are about 1 maybe 2mm above the wear indicators they are 265.35.18s and ubber dear for new ones (got some quotes at around $400 a side) :thumbsup:

Anyway is there anything else they may fail it for ie fmic bov etc etc

I aint gonna sleep tonight!!

In short terms, your f0cked. Be prepared to replace things to factory or lesser performance ect. No cat's are $10,000 from memory, they might take visa lol.

What he said, but yeh u will defenitly need to get some cats on it b4 u go over, id say he will do u on the rims to, id hope for your sake that you arnt on P's

Coils - hit and miss

Exhaust = your stuffed...

Tyres depends, camber wear?

I've got a stock 33 GTR exhaust you could potentially borrow...

EDIT: whoops cat :thumbsup:, still on my car, no you cant have it!

Dude, dont take it over with no cats. Its a massive fail and they can fine you for it.

Put new tyres on as they will likely pick them if they are close to being done.

Cancel your appointment and sort out your issues first is my opinion.

Clint Visa is fine, but i dont think they take AMEX lol

No camber wear at all

Should i just cancel in the morning then and sort the exhaust out before i go?

i dont wanna be wating the test mony and permit money to drive there to already know it will fail :thumbsup:

Yeah gonna cancel the booking in the morning then and tell the guy why (shane ward bunbury)

No point going knowing its gonna fail!!

Do they have 2 cats or 1??

is 1 enoguh to pass?? if so which one??

Just been checking the exhaust system out guys and here goes...

From the block to the manifold (extractors i think they are called here) that goes direct into the turbo

then out the turbo there is a twin neck pipe that goes into a 3" system BUT....

about were the handbrake is there is a smaller piece of oval shaped canister about 16" long is this the cat or a muffler middle box?? after that it carrys on with the 3" system...

Were is xspeed??

I am in bunbury, that would be great though :(

what about suspension will that fail being too hard?

It's a workshop/garage just near Freo.

xspeed

If you want to use it just let me know and I'll tell 'em that you are gonna borrow it.

To be honest you would just be better off getting a hi-flow cat installed properly, but up to you.

I had my R32 go into the pits with stock suspension, turns out front right was leaking so I replaced it with a full set of bilsteins. They were seriously solid. Got the same inspector twice and he passed me the second time. (Bear in mind I sent my old man on both occasions and didn't go)

I'm pretty sure hi-flow cats are illegal mate.

And yes that is your cat . On another note that wing is fkn huge, can you actually see out the rear view window with that thing there?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
