No, same again. Maybe go about it a smarter way though, get a turn back cooler so there is no hole, leave the airbox in and don't put the blow off valve back on. Get a decent exhaust that isn't too loud and you could even hide a bleed valve (I did). I also put a Power FC in and screwed the stock Nissan ECU faceplate on (tight fit but you can).

As I said, this time go smart and they wont get you, they never got me again :(

What did you do with the HC? Or do you not have one?

recently i got a canary for my exhaust, intercooler, bov etc.. i removed it all, patched the hole and is now stock..

is there a harsher punishment if i get dicked again with the same mods?

cheers,

mate 2nite i got the most fkn bullshit defect. exhaust too low, fair enough i dont mind getting it raised and a rwc. that would have cost me $60. instead he lists it as a major defect and a $300 fine. WTF? i was done 20+km over the speed limit and the fine was less that that. also, he didnt tick the RWC box. since when is height a major defect with such a fkn huge fine?

I was under the impression that the law was "lowest part of the vehicle no lower than 100mm above the ground (maybe it's 90mm can't remember) so yeah it's a defect but Major, I suppose it depends how low it is

Its up to them to decide whether major or minor whether you get a fine or not and also whether you get points aswel, ive always gotten major defects and all with rwc, theve given me a major just for pod and rwc and fine, it depends on how much of a tight ass the cop is and yeah with the exhust being to low they love that on skylines always check that first , i got a major for being a couple of mm to low with a rwc like i said depends on the cop

not always, a lot of mods can be considering minor or major depending on the cop and the driver. major is usually safety wise, ie, bald tyres ect. major for too low is a dick move unless springs are cut. then its understandable.

Were you doing 20k over the limit when you were busted or are you saying the fine for doing 20k over the limit is less?

The defect is at Police digression, if they want to ream you they will. If they see previous offences etc they are more likely to ass f@*k you.

I didnt kno aftermarket ecu's were defectable..why is that?

Yes, it's due to emission laws. If you alter air/fuel etc then you change the emission's.

      And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me …

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.

      This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
