Hi skyline drivers,

I'm about to buy a Black R33 GTR. It does have a aftermarket big intercooler on it. Can anyone out there tell me if this is an issue for ACT rego/roadworthy check? someone told me that it's an instant fail because it interferes with airbag deployment. Has anyone had this experience when going for an ACT roadworthy?

where abouts do you go for a roadworthy? The person who told me recently took his R33 GTS T to a garage in Dickson - the mechanic said he was lucky he didnt have an airbag because the aftermarket intercooler would be an instant fail. I'm happy to be proven wrong. Maybe that garage is real picky?

Pffft - No Issue. Secured and all is good.

Should be no problem with that, unless the airbag is behind the bumper, LOL Seriously though it can only interfere if the airbag sensors are moved ot removed.

Since a GTR has a front mount intercooler standard, there should be no issue with that, could be an issue on a GTS-t though since they dont have a "front mount" as standard.

Take it to Andy's Autogas on Barrier St Fyshwick and ask him before getting the inspection done, I'm fairly sure it wont be a problem.

thanks for the advice

Premier Automotive in mitchelll did my rego check. intercooler is fine, so was pod filter. Dickson warned me i "could" be defected in nsw because the laws are different. But I'm not too worried.

However mine also has no airbag anyway...

EDIT: Mine is the GTS-T

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
