Yes. The pod on it's own is legal. The problem is that many also run front mount intercoolers, which counts as another intake mod.

The rule as it is written, is one intake modification...so technically, if you upgrade a standard front mount (in the case of a GTR) to an aftermarket...that counts as a mod.

there will be a lot of blitzes on real soon. i work in the media so i get the heads up about them. I shall let people know if there are any. they wont really target imports but if u are driving one and happen to have to go thru one there is a good chance they will get you in to have a look.

I dont have any problems with the gtr. this is why i got rid my R33 gtst. got pulled over all the time.

its an r33 what you think they are worth? and highly modified its worth less as its probably not coming with a rwc.

mods have no value.

I'm more concerned as to why he wants to buy a GTS..

Just reread OP, thought it said it was a GTR!

  • 2 weeks later...

Well your all saying that you get picked on, here are a few stories of bad driving from last week that I saw. (none in imports too)

Idiot 1: drink driver crashes car, 4 times limit, Learner driver too without fully licensed driver.

Idiot 2: Learner driver crashes car when he had 2 mates in car that could drive on P plates.

Idiot 3: runs through red light right in front of marked police car, fails to indicate twice, does 15km/h over speed limit and only had one tail light.

Idiot 4: Learner driver again without fully licensed driver, no lights on at night and then tries to tell me she is her 44yo mum and just looks 17.

Idiot 5: Another one that runs red light in front of marked police car, no tail lights at night and fails to indicate twice.

Add to this a pursuit, and number of other cars caught doing 20+ over limit. All this was right in front of me or called to scene of accident.

And from the other side of the fence, i went to a dyno day about 2 months ago, a few weeks later i got an epa noise letter in the mail, so did 4 other ppl, i know 2 of the other ppl that got a letter, no one saw a cop car and the times on the letters spanned an hour so the gutless mr proctor (how ever his name is spelt) was hiding somewhere writing down rego's, it was publicized that the event was registered with the local cops so every one behaved themselves and were not doing stupid shit, mine and my mates car were 92db (dont know about the third), at normal driving conditions there is no way in hell that any one could have picked 2db from a distance.

This particular cop has visited many workshops around here and has told them that he does not care if they have engineers or not he is going to target every modified car and make there life hell.

I do believe cancer was invented for people like this!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
