Hey Jez id also like to know about whats illegal/what isnt... in regards to the spoiler, it looks pretty phat :P haha, but is it worth it. i guess its unique compared to the normal GTR wing. Ill do some research :P:rolleyes:

as stated above our laws here are vague and open to interpretation and how the coppers are feeling on the day they pull you up, suggest you paint the whole of the wing the same colour as the car (make sure the brake light works) as different colour panels/parts stick out like dogs gonads

I say don't put it on, our cars look heaps better without spoilers, and its not gonna get you any performance gain, if you want it to look tough, get some sort of bonnet scoop/vents, thats what i'm thinkin bout doin.

becarefull about cutting the bonnet for vents etc as it it can weaken the bonnet and if you cut through the bracing on the underside it can lead to a defect notice

Ok...so that leads me to another question....been thinking on the lines of getting a bonnet scoop...something that can be "stuck" on....not interested in it actually having a hole in the bonnet. Iv heard it is legal but needs to have mesh on it??? yes no maybe??

And yeah the wing is BLOODY heavy...so thinkin of keepin the stock one atm....(the search continues....)

Hey actually come to think of it...il put a pic up of the car now :)

You want a bonnet scoop without cutting a hole in the bonnet??

For starters, that's just gay R.I.C.E. shit that will draw unwanted attention for no reason.

Secondly, if you don't have a hole in your bonnet, why would you need to mesh the scoop??

stick on bonnet scoop lol, while ur at it buy an old scuba tank bottle paint the word NOS and cable tie it to ur roof. but if you do go ahead with the scoop it wont be illegal coz it doesnt do anything.

the general rule with scoops etc is that they cant be rear facing ie a wrx with forward facing scoop is fine, evo scoops that face toward the windscreen arent. we had alot of issues with the clowns down at the pits coz they didnt wanna rego brand new evos with factory rear facing scoops

Jez NF thats a sick looking 33 don't change the spoiler, that looks phat, as for the bonnet scoop i didn't say i was gonna be cutting holes in it myself, was talking bout getting an aftermarket pre-done bonnet, theres plenty of shops around aus willing to ship to ya as you would know, but to be worrying bout heat from the cops cause of an add on to bodywork wouldn't worry bout it as long as you don't drive like a nut.

Thanks :thumbsup:

And yeah.....even if i do get bodywork done its gonna be done "professionally" and so that it looks perfect...i love my car and everything iv done to it has been done the right way.

By scoop I mean a subtle one...just to make it a tad more agressive without losing the classy look...this car is not meant to look like a track car / a mean agressive loud obnoxious beast....my next drift car will fill that gap hopefully...this is my daily and has to look classy enuff for my lady while still pushin out the performance and look to please me...

Anyway...to get back on topic...thanks to PIG_31 for that link.......really clears up a lot of stuff.....good read :thumbsup:

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
