Hey guys i got a mate in NSW who just got defected. Its the first time hes ever got defected and i dont have much experience in this area also..

Hes car is a R33 GTST.

vehicle inspection station

hes got quite a few mods like

Stage 1 cams

z32 airflow metre

injectors

spitfire coils

hks turbo

hks cooler

atmospheric bov

apexi fc Controller

Apexi POD

Electronic boost contoller apexi

Bosch pump

Does this notice mean he has go back to complete stock as a rock?

The defect notice listed:

Any help will be much appreciated.

Sound like he has has a notice to see the DECC. I got one of those on my last car. Is that what the notice has on it? If so he has to remove nearly everything. They not only look at what the defect is for. They look at everything. The inspection is called "anti tampering" so anything that has been modified.

I was also told by the police who issued me the notice that if the car was caught again with the same parts back on it registration is cancelled on the spot. They took photos of everything.

Did your mate have all that happen? If he just got a normal defect then PM me and I can help him through it.

None of the items listed below is owner-approvable according to the RTA.

Stage 1 cams

z32 airflow metre

injectors

spitfire coils

hks turbo

hks cooler

apexi fc Controller

Apexi POD

Electronic boost contoller apexi

Bosch pump

He can get the above items engineered.

atmospheric bov

This will not be able to be engineered and will have to be removed.

As will the CF bonnet and pillar gauge.

Exhaust is an owner-approvable modification _provided_ it meets the noise requirements.

Engineer should also be able to sign off on hole after appropriate reinforcement.

All of the above is "to the best of my recollection" - for a definitive answer, he needs to talk to an engineer.

It depends what your mate wants to do.

Putting the car back to stock, then getting it inspected should clear the defect. That will cost time and money. If he does that, then puts the bits back on he's liable to be defected again.

An engineering cert usually runs $500-600 and there's work to be done before it can be engineered. Also time and money.

What I would do:

Advise your friend to download the list of engineering signatories from the RTA website (it has names and contact details) and have a chat to a few of them.

He needs to tell them exactly what he has, they will tell him what needs to be changed before they will sign off on it.

Some are more "lenient" than others; basically, what he wants is a cert from the one that requires the least to be done to the car.

Man Australia really has some shitty laws. I drove my car through the inspection station here in Japan a few months ago. It was too low to drive allthe way through, so everybody behind me had to back out so I could leave, no interior except for drivers seat, 1 seatbelt and speedometer. PASS. they checked for a cat. conv, correct engine for chassis, mileage, and do the lights and horn work. I feel really bad reading all your stories of getting pulled over for such technical stuff.

fixed...

If you wore your burka in France, it'd be outlawed and you'd get defected too. :)

Check out the regulations.

If your car complies to a degree, you may not have to do everything

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/veh...ards/index.html

search for the applicable issues, it's typically messy pdf's, but it's in there somewhere

good luck !

Take the car to a mechanic who clears defects they will tell you if you have to go to RTA inspection station in which case things will be a bit more serious but it sounds like its just a basic defect notice. Not saying you wont have to remove parts these days even a basic defect notice will obligate you to do this. Someone correct me if im wrong but ive been told that as long the car isnt air bag equipped the pillar mount are passable but the R33 would have one so that will have to go as will the bonnet

Wow, only in Japan! Imagine if Australia was like that..

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
