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:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
