Hey guys, gonna join sauwa and just I bought the GTR in this thread,

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/344568-r32-gtr-v-spec-ii/

I went through the regs in the sticky and not sure I can make heads from tails, what I want to know is if anyone thinks i'll have trouble getting the car over the pits, the exhaust isn't loud but my main concern is with the cams and coilovers, it looks stock in the engine (you can see from the pics) and has a high enough ride height. No EBC or ECU visible.

If I will have too much trouble with it I can take it to QLD and get it registered before bringing it over here. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I haven't had to take a car over the pits before.

i was in the same boat as you. i brought my GTR over from Sydney and took it over Warwick pits 2 weeks ago - i recommend taking it there!

mines got cams and also fully adjustable ohlins coil-overs, idle is fairly lumpy and the coil-overs are @ above legal height, this didn't concern them at all. mine's setup for 500hp+ but the engine bay looks fairly stock like yours which is a plus, just clean everything make sure theres no oil or coolant leaks, degrease the engine bay and under the car, make sure EVERYTHING works electrically.

also while your there get them to give u permits, i just did the bits you can see like exhaust, my massive FMIC and the adjustable fuel pressure reg, hide any boost controllers and boost gauges.

any questions just pm me :)

Take it over.

This.

Generally the pits are pretty good. Cops might sting you because most don't know what they are looking for, but pit inspectors are reasonable.

From the photos it looks immaculate both inside and out. Eveything looks neat and well done. Cops shouldn't give you a hard time, unless you really ask for it.

Yeh, I agree. Hadn't looked at the photos yet when I commented.

I've always found the inspectors at the pits to be reasonable guys.

Spending their days inspecting 100 year old stuffed Taragos and the like they are usually impressed to see a well presented and obviously loved vehicle.

They'll want you to pass unless their hands are tied (like it's draggin it's arse)

So don't worry, present it as it is and fix any items on the list if it fails.

PS Midland are good guys too

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
