I think you will find there will be alot more to getting the defect off then just changing the bov and boost controller.

Your in for a full inspection so dont expect to get it through on the first try,

just to give you an idea. The 400r front bar you have the indicators are to close together and they could fail you for that (happened to my old R33).

or you could just sell it to me for 2 grand and ill have a cheap track car :ninja:

I will offer you 2.5K :ninja:

I went through regency last week and they aren't that bad. Just show them a bit of respect and don't assume they know nothing (because they do - I watched very closely what they inspected on my car) and you should be alright. Don't feel too bad if you have to go back a second time, I did, but was only $150 parts and labour to fix up.

well they give you a checklist of what needs to be improved/returned to stock etc for the second time around. so for the second check just the things on the list sorted out and you will be laughing

I will offer you 2.5K :ninja:

Damn, by the time its of defect Im thinkn im gonna have to spend 800-1000 to get it on the road so no deal buddy, ill find out tomorrow morn from my mechanic he knows what hes doinhe goes to regency regularly for defected cars and interstate ring-ins so he reckns shell be fine

:cheers:

Took the old girl down to my trusty mechanic today, had a good look over and he reckons shes in excellent nick he couldnt spot anything wrong underneath or in the engine bay besides blow off valve and boost controller, also boost gauge in dash isnt connected, looking at about 500-800 bucks, also he said part of the front spoiler is cut out to make room for intercooler, but hes got a stockie to get her past, still havent decided if I wanna sell it, will make decision once I drive it for a bit. goin on holiday so ill be pickn her up on the 9th Feb garunteed passed and ready for rego!!

:banana:

Front mount intercooler has to go (not a stock item ) , exhaust not stock so that goes aswell .

Bars are torsion bars to stop the body from twisting .

completely incorrect.

front mount intercooler on mine passed no problems. exhaust on my car was a full 3.5" trust exhaust system with a minor adjustment it passed with 89db at 3200 rpm as for the bar's don't know much about them but by what i have gone through you should be ok :D

Pretty much any intercooler is bigger than the stock side-mount - if you have a front-mount, that's a 'bigger intercooler' (and you can see the front-mount in the pics). A bigger fuel pump doesn't mean much either, lots of them have died from sheer age - so have usually been fitted with larger aftermarket items. Keep in mind that - in general - modifications do not increase the value of a car.

I personally wouldn't have thought the car worth that much, especially in that condition - but hey, a car is only worth what someone will pay for it. Imports have plumetted in value in the last few years ..

It looks pretty f**king clean to me?! Just engine bay needs a spray and it's cleaner then most other skylines I've seen.

Yeah I agree. Plenty of POS 33's getting around - doesn't really look like one.

+1 for front mounts being fine, just took mine through with one.

10-12k easy dont listen the the sharks out there

keep it, enjoy it, track it

it cost you peanuts so why not modify the ECU to remove the 180kph speed cut and put it on track

you already have other cars, you say know know a lot about push rod engine, now learn about OHC engines with electric everything

and as for rotors go >>Here<<

have fun and welcome to the forums

Thanks guys, shes of defect now and regod cost me around 1500 all up , had some bits n pieces to replace. I hate to say it but I really like the car, didnt think I would but I do, first turbo car ive owned now I have to decide weather to keep it and sell my other cars ( i have a few) or sell it and keep them Its actually gonna be a hard decision, what sort of prices ar gearboxes and clutches for mine? is it an RB25 motor? I dont know any thing bout these things

Edited by rickr333

depends on the sort of clutch your actually want to put in it

i get great prices on clutches through a relation ship i have built up with NPC http://www.npcperformance.com.au/

organic are reasonably cheap not 100% sure of price i have only sold one and the bad boy of clutches a 5puk HD ceramic 1200kg pressure plate $580 delivered that will hold 350rwkw you can get heavier again and increase the diameter of the pressure plate too will change the clutch characteristics

Im pretty sure mines just stock, but theyre the things i would be worried about flogging out obviously, thanks for the info, I have a few questions what is my motor "known" as, I know its a 2.5lt dohc turbo. Ist it RB25? and whats a gearbox worth for one and also prices on getting one rebuilt, sorry if I shouldnt be posting this stuff here Im not really sure

Thanks alot guys, I look forward to becoming a member of the skyline community

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
