Guys,

My car just got defective and i need to take it into Vic Roads for clearing it....part of the list is Air Filter...

Now, some says that we can have one mod, Air Pod or intercooler and some says that everything needs to be standard.....

i have clarified this with a mechanic that i can have air pod if my intercooler is standard, which it is....is that true???

i just need second opinion on this as i dont want to fail the test with Vic Roads....

Just for laugh....when i got pull over, the cop says that i should not have an intercooler on my car!!!!! i said its a turbo car and it need to have an intercooler....guess what his reply was???

NO, you shouldn't have an intercooler...i still cant believe it and still laugh to it till now!!!! i dont have anything against them as they are doing their job, but i think they need to know a bit more about cars if they want to pull someone over....dont you reckon???

Thanks guys :)

I'm not sure how VIC works .. but that seems abit harsh. For future reference just tell them that everything is factory standard .. and to take it up with Nissan if they have issue's. Has worked for me and some of my mates, *shrug* but that's in QLD / NSW

Clearing defects can be a pain, hang in there.

Standard intercooler in place - pod filters are ok as long they aren't oil based.

^ This.

If you do NOT have oiled pods, then I'd be contesting the defect to prove a point.

100% one intake modification is legal on a GTR as long as they are non-oil PODs.

if you have the bits just put the stock bits back on to clear the issue and get on with it

no need to contest it if you have the parts and its a a simple swap - or even borrow them

this..

why bother. just swap it back after n keep a copy of the code for the next cop that tries to defect you for it.

screw fighting with them, just because you fight it with one cop, doesnt mean the next cop wont know

There is a need to contest.

EVERY single incorrect defect, fine & otherwise should be contested.

If people stopped being such pussies and defended themselves - the courts would soon become clogged and the system would then be looked at.

People rolling over are the reason people keep getting reamed.

Any incorrect defect notice - I've taken to court. And will do so until i die.

Well said.

Why would you not contest it, if you get a defect for something that is legal then why wouldnt you contest it.

If I ever get a bullshit defect they will never hear the end of it.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
