FMIC are an odd one. Most people cut the front bar to fit the pipes. This makes them a nono. If yours is properly fitted with no hacking etc it should be fine.

That's right Sin, if you have changed/modified your chassis to fit a fmic it is defectable but if it fits correctly it is allowed hence the time role have passed through Dickson with fmic. However it the car had a top mount intercooler like WRX's you cannot have a fmic without engineering because your average skyline, Silvia etc has a forward facing intercooler outside the chassis frame oem. Same goes for turbo lasers where they are next to the engine.

I agree and disagree. Cutting the reo bar i agree with being a big no no but when i did it on my old r33 i took the car to a panel beater and ask if there was any issues with cutting a hole in the part near the wheel well and above the chassis to put the pipe through and got confirmation that part of the vehicle if cut will not change the integrity of the strength of the vehicle.

Any one else done the same?

Dont rely on mechanics to get it right, read your adr's.

The adr's on your compliance plate are the ones you have to comply with.

Hole for pipe needs i think...

3mm reo plate, welded on 100-150 mm all sides from hole.

Something like that, cant remember details.

Not all rules make sense for specific purposes, some are there for general principals.

The hole in that spot on that car may not make the car any weaker, BUT, they want it done anyway cos they cant be that specific in the rules.

I've heard that since I did it. The car hasnt changed and still passes roadworthys.

I think they need to set the rules so that everything is the same.

Somethings are illegal on one vehicle and on another vehicle its legal.

Something to help people with the silly defects given to some modified cars on the side of the road. Namely Noise Tests on the side of the road.... Print this off and ensure that the officer at the time of the test follows the guidelines set out by the National Transport Commission of Australia. Note that this document specifically mentions the allowed equipment for noise tests angles and distances rpm for types of cars etc

I will be adding up more soon but just advising that they are doing the same blitz through Westfield Woden at the moment and have confirmed with Westfield management that they are no allowed to be there unless invited by Westfield

Did management confirm they HAD invited them? Your post is a little vague there :P

How about a $40 car cover?

They cant see sht then, they cant see rego or number plate.

Just cover your defects and rego when parking.

And some kind of alarm so they cant f&@k with it.

Or tiny locks so it cant be moved without breaking something, and if they do that....... well, you can imagine.

    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
