Nah. Depends where you are to some extent, but even here in SA, where the cops are not so bad and the rules are not so rigid, you simply cannot get an aftermarket ECU legal in a registered car unless it is fully engineered, and basically locked so you can't tune it. That is pretty much the case anywhere. So even if you have a Motec tuned to within an inch of it's life, fully compliant with the latest Euro emissions standards.....it's still not legal (unless locked up as above).

Just don't be a 'brother' and hangout/do skidzzzzz/be a tool/eat kababs in the 'known' hotspots and you should be ok.

They setup in random locations/times of day down here.

My best mate was done literally 1km from Penguin or Watson (can't remember which), at 3pm on a Tues IIRC. So you are definitely copping the same shit we have beem

Mate of mine just got pulled up in his 31 has rb25 high mount screamer pipe frount mount 33 brake converaion and hes grafter an r33 rear cradle into the car with an r200 diff.... got defected for wheels out of guards and dark tint??? didnt even have problems with the turbo caz the pod was covered in a box lol

^^ yeah that was my thinking, chuck the stock airbox back in while your at it, will look more legit....

I mean if you are worried about police checks why have pods or blue hoses everywhere , smoke and mirrors will work wonders 99% of the time and having just seen pics of your bay on stance, I'd say all black hosing and factory airbox would do wonders for your bay, it would be much more photogenic and it would look standard which is what you want if your in Vic...just my personal opinion ;)

or if cops ask questions you could try say its a NUR and this model didnt use AFMs from factory :)

it's not a cop thing why i'm getting delete pipes made. They're Nismo AFM's going for $600 odd and i'm not using them.... seems absolutely pointless to have them sitting there, doing nothing.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
