The driver I imagine...it's not illegal to install on a street car. Drive the car on the road and it's a different story.

But a cop is getting desperate for EPA revenue if he's sitting outside RE customs with a roll of canaries waiting to pounce.

Unless you like to show off the Apexi logo on your PFC, just bolt the nissan OEM ECU faceplate onto it

most cops will be none the wiser as long as you dont have the handcontroller plugged into it

yeh someone told me u can fir the stock ecu plate on it but its a tight fit, yeh i think only the hand controller wud give it away. but wud b funny trying to unplug ur stuff and hiding it wen u get pulled over, seeing as cops see everything :)

don;t drive with a hand controller plugged in

do you tune your car while driving to have it sitting out on the dash? or plugged in at all?

The only reason you'd need a controller is to tune the car or watch the temps and stuff.

I wouldnt be surprised if something like that hapened though, the government does want that import owner's money

No they won't.

It will hurt small business.

The way it is - leaving as is. Wait till they leave, rather than be discouraging out the front :action-smiley-069:

Business gets their money, then the Gov't rapes you after it's all done with its archaic laws for money a week, month down the track.

If they cut it from the start there would be less overall.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
