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:

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
