Hey all, long time reader, first time poster..

Anyway finally bought myself a '93 r32 gtst type m. I'm on my green p's I got pulled over second day I bought it (Christmas day)

The cops were alright (compared to others) let me off with defect warnings on my

-pod filter (no cover)

-too low (my exhaust sits really low)

-Atmospheric BOV (bought a stock r32 gtst bov)

-external wastegate w/ screamer (really want to keep this)

Any help on quick fixes to these would be appreciated, cheers.

is that a turbo on your green Ps?

Yes lol, my own fault for driving a turbo, I was hoping to get away with it. A lot of my mates are on there's p's and drive turbo skylines ect. And always get pulled over (no fines). I get my opens in march but I'm impatient :)

Remove everything and put stock parts on to pass the defect. Then its your choice if you swap them back after.

FYI - My mate got caught driving his gtst on his greens. he got a 6 month suspension. Its not wise to drive a car that you are not allowed to. March could easily turn into September.

Really? All back to stock? Can I put the stock r32 bov on where hks one used to sit?

If no defect what are you asking advice on?

I would get rid of the screamer as its not worth getting raped by epa for a noise.

Sorry should have been more clear, main concern is BOV I have a hks atm (not quite sure what type) pretty sure it's making my car stall when coming down from high revs also.. I bought a stock r32 gtst BOV with crossover pipe but I have custom piping for turbo and aftermarket fmic and not quite sure where to put the stock BOV so I can plum it back into the intake..

if you didnt get a proper defect notice then just leave the stuff on, your taking the risk of driving a turbo on your Ps anyways..

but im pretty sure they note it in their system and the next time you drive past a high way patrol they'll pull you over and tear you a new asshole

wait it out until you can drive legit i reckon

i said i am waiting until March because i WAS pulled over.. i still want to get defect fixed while i cant drive the car.. i might as well do something to it while i cant drive it

Seems pretty simple.

  • Cover pod
  • Raise it (or install stock suspension)
  • Stock BOV (good for 300kw+)
  • Plumb back screamer

Cheers, with the stock BOV am I able to remove the HKS one and put this in the same spot?

I'm thinking I can't? because the HKS BOV is located on drivers side bottom intercooler pipe (hidden, I think)

its not a matter of the cops just pulling you over and then finding out your driving a turbo car whilst on your Ps

If the registered owner of a car is on their Ps, (you for example) and the car is turbod. It comes up on their computer straight away.

from what ive been told their computers now scan every number plate automatically and lets them know if there is discrepencies

its like getting pulled over if your driving a car with no rego, they already know your cars out of registration

so your on the hit list now, they will target you and really F#ck you if they catch you again with defects,.. i assure you of this

So wise choice on not driving it and getting all your defects fixed ;)

It's in mum name :)

you should really do yourself a favour and make that thing stealth as possible, i mean make it as clean and sensible as possible.

My pulse starts racing at the site of police and i dont have a screamer or atmo bov, dont give them a reason, show ya maturity

and they'll respect you for it, hmm i hope lol :unsure:

I know this is off topic, but in SA you are exempt from the 'no turbo on P plates'

If you are 25 years old or over.

Is this the same in other states or are turbo's outlawed altogether for P platers (in other states)?

Well everything on the car is fixed now (Defects fixed) other than my screamer pipe and external wastegate... i know i probably sound like a wanker but i love the f**ken sound it makes :D :D

Also bit hard to be stealth when it's bright gold ahahaha :P

Same applies to over 25's in Queensland. Few concessions made for them

Certainly sound like one to be honest. Screamers = Stupid attention seeking crap. Also, yes it was the BOV that was causing you to stall coming back down from revs. Unless your car is tuned for an atmo BOV, the ECU assumes the air that was just vented goes back into the intake.

+1

screamers are for shitkunce. dont be a shitkunt

My first turbo car... Let me scream a bit :) lol

Found out I don't even HAVE a screamer pipe.. It's shooting straight onto my turbo oil line and slowly making it brittle, so plumbing that back also.

My exhaust sits 40mm off the ground when my car is 120mm high :( so might be getting a new one.. First r32 monster truck >_>

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
