Ok guys I know this is probably a stupid question, but forgive me for my ignorance. Does the r32 gtst have a hole in the left inner guard, underneath the battery? I'm pretty sure that it was made for the fmic. Qld transport giving me a hard time saying that "I need to restore it to original manufacturer standards". Which makes no sense to me.

Any thought thoughts? previous experience with this

I would start by moving your battery to the right hand side like everyone elses.

And no there is not supposed to be a hole there.....and no the guy at QLD transport doesn't know what the f**k he is talking about because it has nothing to do with structural strength and does not effect the roadworthiness of the vehicle. Tell him to re-educate himself

Sorry I meant right hand side...lol If you stand in front of the car it becomes the left side....hahaha

That's what I thought Dan

My sister had to see Qld Transport to get a number of "defects" approved after an officer pulled her over in her R32Gtst. The front mount intercooler pipe came into the engine bay in the same spot as the GTR. As an engineer I simply prepared a letter for her essentially stating what has already been said. It will have neglible structural impact on the car. The fact that the GTRs have a hole in this location and on the passenger side there are more penetrations for the intercooler piping says it all really.

When I had my RB30DET mod plate prepared, the approving facility included the front mount intercooler installation as part of the description for the modifications.

they will say it has to be engineered (mod plated)

o.p. take your car to an engineer and get the hole mod plated

there is no code for a hole in a non-structural area. The only thing you can do is put it under 'Chassis Mod' but it's not the correct code for it.

And yes, before you ask...I have the code of practice here

Can anyone recommend an engineer, around GC or brissy that's not going to charge me a arm and a leg for their signature.

I need the hole certified once I get it reinforced.

Andrew - 0402293256 and tell him Daniel from Elite Racing sent you as he normally doesn't deal with public

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
