hey guys

i got defected the other week in my r32gtst

he only got me for

fmic

exhaust

bov

wasnt aware at the time he ticked full inspection so pretty much everything has to come off needs a blue slip... so coming off is.

fmic

exhaust

bov.

rims

gauges on pillar

pod (boxed)

catch can

i hide my boost controller and turbo timer behind dvd player haha he didnt notice on his first inspection

the guy didnt say anything about my coilovers though???

dont think he could tell about the r33 turbo either

and its got a nistune board in it, injectors fuel pump rah rah but he wouldnt notice would he?

it should be all passed by this w,e

and most of the parts will be back on it by the end of the w,e as some stock parts are borrowed..

i want to get some stuff engineered

mainly the

exhaust,fmic and pod in box

how hard is it to get them engineered and roughly costs?

i doubt my exhaust will be under the 90db.. its a x-force 3"

(opinions of how to make it quiter without restricing the flow)(maybe change change cannon to different muffler?)

its a greddy fmic so i doubt the piping kit is legal had to make an extra hole.

so is it still possible to get engineered?

apexi pod is full boxed

any help will be appreciated thanks

if you want the FMIC done you will need to pass the IM240 emissions test, not that easy to get through but you can get a retune and should pass ok.

Bascially each engeineer is different and might be ok with some things and not others best off to speak to one directly, if you in Newcastle then there is one in Cardiff and he is on the approved list from the RTA look him up or do a google search if not there is a list of approved ones on the RTA site that is the best way to do it rather than ask other people.

Good luck, the cops in Newy are pretty hard on cars trust me i know :P

you will have a better chance of passing the IM240 test if you have a cat from a fairly new car (couple years old) as they have much stricter emissions standards to meet than a car from the early 90's, the only problem is finding one.

tooo bad... I left Australia a year ago =)

Where did you go? You took your car didn't you.... I saw a vid of you doing skids in Georgia and was like "WTF.... THAT is dedication....."

If you're on the European continent with that thing, I dearly hope you plan on paying the N眉rburgring a visit.

I've always wondered, if your car is SEVed and gets compliance with all the gear already on it, you have the full report, and then is continually registered..........where does that leave you?????

BTW if you are pulled over again and you have re installed all the 'bad bits' afterwards and they find out, you'll end up somebodies bitch in gaol, they'll throw the book at you - or thats my understanding of it.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
