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?

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

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.

Awesome bud thanx for the info.... So bellmouth dump and springs will do for now.... Next question is do I keep on going with a 4 door project or upgrade to the big brother????

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.

      Rb26/30 build

      By lilley's gtr · Posted

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      Nismo rear spats

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

      That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

      Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
