So anyway im on my way home from lakeside on sunday arvo and these 2 P plater cars in front of me are being dicks and trying to swerve into each other, slam on their brakes and just general stupidity. I decide to overtake them, in doing so my screamer pipe opens up. I look in my mirror and see the 2 P platers still going at it then all of a sudden swerve from the far right lane and ut cars off to make an exit they almost miss.. about 30 sec's later i see flashing blue and red lights coming from a silver VRX lancer behind me so i pull over.. this is what happened.

The 2 cops get out of their car and do the usual licence check and breathalizer test. Ask me why I sped off and I told them the whole P plater story which they 'didn't' see, then make me pop my bonnet. "First thing's first, you're not allowed wastegates on the street mate.." and I admitted yes I have a screamer and will plumb it back in to the reply "Nope doesn't matter, you're not allowed them fullstop. Get rid of it!" okaaayy. "Next, you're catch can..." I replied, whats the problem it is plumbed back into the intake. "You're not allowed catch cans at all, that too needs to go because it alters the way the engine works and is not there from factory, and if a hose blows off and lets all the oil vapour out then your engine will blow up." Long story short the police officer continued to tell me that you're not allowed wet cell batteries in the boot even if they're are in a box and with a vent hose, you can only have a dry cell and it MUST be in a box. You're also not allowed to have zip ties on hoses as they may blow off again blowing up your engine.. in the end he let me off and said to get rid of the catch can as Im not running enough boost to need one, and to get rid of the wastegate. LOL

Unfortunately I was not that lucky. :ninja: Got defected, but the officer let me drive home. Car is now locked up in the garage.

That reminds does anyone know an engineer on the GC that will approve my mods?

It will be much appreciative because I need to provide a certificate/letter from an engineer to clear one of my defects.

Yes its true, when i went over the pits they told me it was the biggest fail of most cars not having a mod plate for holes cut in the engine bay, even tho its standard on a gtr its not for a gtst and needs a mod plate.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
