Rims too wide (just guessing) - defectable

Atmo-venting BOV - defectable

Carbon fiber bonnet - defectable

Pods - will pass if properly sheilded

Boost Controller - defectable

PowerFC - defectable. Even if you pass emissions on an engineers certificate as the tune is easily changed.

An Engineers Certificate won't make any of your defectable mods less defectable.

all stereotypes are true - they are all based on something - if they wernt based on something there woudlnt be a stereotype

it is a stereotype skylines will have mods

this is because MOST SKYLINES HAVE MODS

therefore the stereotype is correct

its not cops harrasing, yes its rude, yes its annoying, yes we want them to go away

a cop sees a skyline as an easy target cause 9 times out of 10 THEY ARE

Like others have already said, get rid of the BOV, put shield on PODs, remove the hand controller for the PFC & put a metal type bonnet on.

Or you can try & move to WA :(

Cops here (atleast around my area & the areas I usually visit) don't seem to pull over imports that much. The 2.5 years I had my car (2 years where on P) I have only being pulled over 3 times & they were all during the Easter Break (so lesson learnt is don't drive around in a skyline during the Easter Break... LOL). But None of them had bothered to check under the bonnet & they were mainly interested in seeing if I had my rego sticker on...

The other times I have driven alongside cop cars & I don't think they even noticed me.

HAhahah......yeah, I will have no choice but to do what you said and many others have said...just don't have the time ffs!

Thanks all.

get rid of the bov.... i guarantee that is what is getting you pinned...

atmo bov's are pure wank.... gtr bov... if you seriously cant live without that atmo bov sound then you should be killed anyway... :(

You keep shooting yourself in the foot and you then you start up threads about how not to shoot your self... :(

Unless you don't pay any attention to what Ash has said about the aftermarket BOV's then keep shooting yourself. :D

You pods already make a "Flutter" noise.

From memory you are allowed 1 intake mod, since you have a GTR now, you pods should be fine as they came with a FMIC stock.

As for the Power FC, from memory I think you can unplug the hand controller and leave it at home.

Or shove it down your pants before the cop sees it :(

Carbon Fibre bonnet will attract attention, either paint the bonnet the same colour or put the stock one back on.

GTR bonnets are aluminium so they are quite light.

Ha ha ha ha...classic...an absolute classic! hahahah...I especially like the SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR PANTS line. However, I see your point mate, that's why I'm going to keep my GTR stock as a freaken rock. I need to clear the defect on the GTS-T so that I can sell the fuucka....thanks mate...

I guess you're right mate...it's the BOV and the POD that's gotten me into shit all these years...I've just ordered a heatshield thing for the pod to hide the fucckka away and will consider a plumb back BOV - do you think all plumb backs will be fine?

Thanks.

plumb back bovs are better than atmo ones in a maf environment...

if your car is tuned for the atmo one then you might want a uick fix up tune

Yeah mate...it was tuned for atmo BOV...I have no choice but to get it fixed as per their requirements.

Fellas, I'm going to give in and give them what they want...and I'm going to keep it this way too as I've had enough...

So I was wondering if someone can please sell me, lend me or rent me the following to I can clear my defect...

- stock plumb back BOV for a GTS-T.

- stock panel-filter air box complete with snorkel etc.

I need one urgently as I got 10 days left to clear the defect before I cannot drive it around no more to get the defect notice cleared.

Thanks. Please help a Skyliner brother in need. :(

Hi there...very meaningful response...thanks....

There was no sarcasm in my post. I have an engineered car so I have some kind've idea that you trying to engineer your car with defectable mods is useless exercise. You can and always will be defected on items that don't comply with or without an engineers certificate.

My goal is 300Kw at all 4 with limited mods to my GTR, and so far with the Mods that have been done no policeman has pulled me over. Plus my GTR is a daily driver at the moment too.

I have spoken to Ray at RE and outlined what I want from the car. I want performance, relibality and for it to look stock. He has even designed an exhaust setup for me that will look stock and be almost as quiet as the stock exhaust front pipes back. So it is possible for it to be done.

Give me 4 months and my GTR will there. :banana:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
