You can do that with a GTS-T though, to much the same degree...injectors are my only give away cause I cbf spraying them the standard colour.

Return flow IC is legal as long as you don't have a pod.

When I drove a GTR I wasn't impressed. Maybe it had been talked up or I don't hit the corners enough to justify having AWD, but having come from a well sorted GTS-T, I wouldn't pay the extra money.

same..GTST is a much more usable daily car....Im sure the GTR comes into its own at high speeds though and deadly launches...but for a daily driver around town...NAh

the GTr does wonders for the ego though ..

Technically it's an intake mod, so if combined with FMIC, then it's illegal

so case scenario you cant source a second hand rubber intake, they dont make them anymore and they all fall apart...Am I supposed to an expensive engineer certified exemption to put a modfied intake in? there has to be be some leniency there...the rules are f**king stupid, which is why nobody abides by them...on the other hand people are f**king stupid and thats why there is laws....

so we have f**king stupid people making stupid f**king laws for the stupid f**king people to not follow,

because the rules the f**king stupid people made are f**king stupid f**king...

paradox?

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

its a balancing act :rofl:

You should have gone for a drive in the Stagea today, in that heavy rain. Still hooks up nicely. ;) You can't beat awd grip anytime.

I agree, intake pipes are exempt as long as the AFM is in the stock position and the BOV/Breather pipes are plumbed back. I wouldn't be asking a police officer how to interpret these laws though.

I have seen 500kw through stock GTR pipes, cooler and airbox, and also 430kw through a gtst with a return flow cooler. I have no idea where the idea these parts don't support more power started, but they were probably trying to sell their overpriced products.

Yes, the rubber gtst intake will definitely suck shut at around 250kw but it's a simple mod to replace the intake, and painted black it is barely noticeable. I still don't know if a replacement intake is legal though, as they only seem to mention pod filters.

Yes GTR's were over-engineered so that they could do that pretty comfortably. GOOD return flow coolers are very rare on a GTST budget, lettuce be real here lots (not all) owners of GTSTs just do basic mods like FMIC, pod and exhaust, maybe a bigger turbo if they're lucky. Not many people do the research and buy a good return flow from the beginning. The return pipe is simply too sharp of a bend, just like how on GTR's the rear turbo intake becomes a restriction because of how sharp of an angle the air has to change to get into the turbo. The idea has reasoning behind it, plenty of cars that can't crack much over the 300kw mark with a return flow when they should be making more, but at the same time, plenty that do make more power with a return flow, but they definitely can be a restriction.

The problem with the metal intake pipe (this is a good part of why I sold my GTST), is that it still isn't legal, even if it was same dimensions and looked pretty much the same, it's still an intake modification. Then when you get EPA'd and you have a bigger turbo inlet that won't accept the standard intake pipe, what do you do then?

yeah shitty weather conditions also favour the R

You don't have to tell me, I love the nm35 man, I drove Jethros in rain and fog...it is just amazingly easy to drive everywhere and the chassis/engine layout is incredibly well balanced..i prefered it to the GTR actually

Instead i drove the Cressida to Geelong on puring rain today..the chassis is balanced like a pendulam ...it also hooks up very well everywhere..with the LSD and fat kumhos I cant even get it to spin tyres in the wet now...and believe me i tried hard.... :P

where did you go??

Lol, you think the stock intake would save you from epa headaches when running a 4 inch aftermarket Garrett?

where did you go??

Autobarn was as far as my passenger wanted to let me drive. :P

This is Victoria, therefore everything's illegal when cop say it so.

Up to you to prove them otherwise.

This

You're not just avoiding the EPA, but having to prove yourself right in the first place which is the real pain in the ass. Testing paid for by yours truly in either case.

I'm also deterred by the cost of hiring a full time security guard
