Hey guys just want some advice/ ideas on the following mods due to just moving to Vic an not knowing where to get things done.

So I have a 34 sedan gtt and wanting to do the suspension, I was going to go with just a good set of springs and shocks due to being told that coilovers are illegal in Vic. Any know any goo suspension shops in the west?

Also need to do the rest of my exhaust system and was wondering to either get the 3" dump with screamer pipe, 3" bellmouth dump, or 3" split dump?

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Rob :)

Welcome to VIC.

They are legal, keep you ride height above 100mm and you're fine.

Also need to do the rest of my exhaust system and was wondering to either get the 3" dump with screamer pipe, 3" bellmouth dump, or 3" split dump?

If you want to get raped by the noise authorities and do what you want.

Keep it quiet with a nice flow.

3" turbo back will do you fine.

Ok just that I been told that coilovers are illegal due to being adjustable and affects the safety of the vehicle.

Not that I know of but if you want, stick to lowered springs and shocks for a peace of mind.

I already have 3" hi flow cat with full 3" system just need to sort out from turbo to cat

You mean to say you have a high flow cat and a 3" cat back exhaust...

Coilovers are not illegal, Skylines come with coilovers standard. If you are referring to height adjustable coilovers they are also not illegal. What is illegal, is a ride height being < 100mm at the lowest point of the chassis (including exhaust system).

Screamer pipes on the other hand, are illegal. The legal limit is ~90db and the factory system comes in at ~87db, so almost any aftermarket system leaves you open to EPA defects.

Not true, adjustable coil overs that can lower the car below legal height are illegal (have only heard of one person being knocked back on an rwc for it) there is a thread or part of a thread on here some where about it, there are only two brands that are legal, i cant remember which ones they are.

That being said the chances of being defected for them on the road is extremely minimal.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
