Hai,

When taking car to be registered would i need to put on stock wheels mine are currently 18" would that pass inspection and also has xenon bulbs the rest is stock?

Also can anyone recommend a nice fat exhaust that comes out on an angle at the back but is quiet and doesnt drone.

What oil do you recommend for it and what is the code for the oil filter to use ?

Should the boost gauge go all the way to the top as mine only moves about 1/8th of the way under full boost.

Thanks )

not sure about act but in wa you are alllowed your wheels to be 2 inches bigger then stock, could be diferent .

boost go will only go up to about half way if your running stck boost. which is about 7 or 8 psi

the oil and oil filter all depends on what brand you want and how much you want to pay.

Thanks for the replies. Ill check out the motul oil, the last owner was in japan apparently only used mineral oils. Any recommendations on the name/brand of full exhaust system with front pipe 3" that is quiet ? I am very new to skylines for now but would like to meet everyone else from SAU (so far only met two of the guys here from work).

Also where to get the service for timingbelt/water pump - i would do it myself but dont wanna mess around with it seems more complex than a corolla and where to purchase the timing belt/tensioner/waterpump from that isnt china brand.

Trojan Motorsport in mitchell are pretty good for services and the like.

as for rego, if it's "un-modified" you don't need to go over the pits at dickson, I took mine to "Premier Automotive" in mitchell and they passed it straight up.

If they won't let ya go over with 18's, I'm sure there's someone with a set of 17's around here you could borrow... I've got the set that came with mine, BUT 2 of the tyres are a bit bald :(

With your boost guage, you said it moves 1/8th of the way to the top? This sounds very wrong. at full boost (7psi) it should sit on the second line down from the top, 3/4 of the way to the top...

If you can avoid going over the dickson pits at all, avoid it like the plague. They seem to hate jap imports. Or at least one guy does.

If you can't avoid it, make the car look/sound as stock as possible. If you can get a stock set of wheels that's an easy one, because each time you have to come back for something they can and sometimes do find some new thing to whinge about.

Mine is modded and I took it through Premiere. I put the stock r33 rims back on for rego just in case.

Thanks for your replies will take your advices.

I fixed the gauge by finding that the hose from the tb to some sort of sensor/vacuum thingi had a crack in it, fixed that up and now i get negative boost working and positive goes nearly to the top so all good. Car drives well but only issues i see is notchy gearbox (goes in easy but is pretty notchy) and some diff whine at low speeds i can hear and lifter tick i think. CEnter console is heaps sticky and peeling i think the paint is dodge as i need to repaint it soon. Why is there what looks like a flare in my glove box lol.

When do you guys/girls meet up i need to ask 50 more questions might be easier in person :) still new to skyline and rb25

BYe!

Got the rego today! Guys did the inspection rly wanted to fail me on rear window tint and the wheels, took about 30mins to decide if they want to pass my wheels cause 18" but finally decided to let it go :) noted a few other things like broken nbumber plate lights and steering rack etc but all good. I thought they would be harsher there from hearing all the stories. Now gotta wait like 5 weeks for black number plates. Also i think they did something to my boost lol after they did their inspection my car feels like it has half the power when hits boost

I dont have a front mount where would the intercooler be located stock and the boost solenoid ?

Front drivers or passengers side. Dunno on your model.

Solenoid on the firewall or real close. Follow the tubes to see if split or off.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
