My car doesnt do that many kms these days because I don't have far to travel for work. When I am on site it does plenty, like the 400km one way trip to Mulwala etc.

But I still drive the thing most weekends and 3 days of the working week. The last 6 years I have been OS for almost 3.5years of it but my car still has done 60,000kms since moving to Melb in 2004...so factoring in the time OS its still >10,000kms per year.

So you could be right about the number of kms being less than some...but still on the road frequently. And GTSBoy, I dont get it ....you list reasons why its illegal and then say you have the same thing done to your car and never had a trouble with Regency, because its not dodgy? Well, that's the same experience I am echoing, do it right and neatly and I doubt you will have a problem. Hell yours is probably worse than mine as if you look at the drivers side inner guard you can see the pressed stell markings where on a GTR they would be cut from the factory. There is no welds in the skin or ribs that I remember that you cut through, and the whole thing is basically the same between GTSt and GTR. Cutting an additional hole on the passenger side is probably worse as the shell may not have been designed to ever have a cutout there.

No. You did not read. The hole in my car is not in a chassis rail. In the horizontal surface IN FRONT OF THE AIRBOX. I clearly said "in front of the airbox". There are already two holes there for the oem cooler pipes. Extra hole is right behind those, and the cold air intake for the stock airbox has been routed through there into the space where the SMIC was. Looks kosher. Is kosher. The cooler pipes on my car, despite having been remade, look stock and pass through the stock holes. It looks stock. Totally non scary.

And I did not say I have never had any trouble with Regency. The car hasn't been there since it was complied. But it will be going there shortly, and it will pass (or at least, it won't fail because of that hole in the guard. But if I had a hole in the vertical surface on the driver's side, where most bodgies cut a hole for the return pipe on a big FMIC install, then it would certainly not pass.

That gets you fisted in Adelaide. It's right behind the attachment point of the bumper bar and is a serious (to them) change to the vehicle's crumple zone.

They are nufties as that is a std GTR with its cooler pipe and BOV removed. Interesting to know they have a heart on for it

The smaller opening of the GTSt bumper is an obstacle to progress when it comes to trying to fit the cooler as it would on a GTR.

good point there, so to fully benefit to changing to a GTR FMIC you would have to change to a GTR bumper

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
