Recommended Posts

.....not yet :/ lol.

Lol

Get it plumbed back lmao

They still scream with the right build and set up. Mines louder then my mates and he has a vented screamer while I'm plumb back

I thought plumbing it back made it go away completely?

It's the only thing that gives me goosebumps, can't get over that sound of the wastegate screaming.. Even if it is the wank factor :P

I am getting it plumbed back.. But it's the only thing stopping me from driving so I thought I might as well take it back home and hopefully not get pulled over..

Iv recently changed my turbo & gone external gate. Its currently plumbed back & definitely doesn't scream. I do have a section of pipe I remove & then replace with another section of pipe that's modified so I can make it a screamer for track days. haven't tested how well it works yet though.

Maybe get something like that done?

Sorry forgot to mention you will need a titanium dump pipe off turbo with titanium waste gate pipe plumbed back for it to still scream like a screamer lol

Got a Gtr 33 V-spec with loudish aftermarket exhaust and tein coilovers fairly low. Thought cops would be my worst nightmare and dislike them with a passion , but surprisingly they have been very sedate towards me whilst passing me or me passing them. But in saying that you dont go out of your way to attract attention and I only just keep the accelerator pressed to avoid loud than average sound when in obvious view or hearing range! Wish everyone else the same luck!

Yours is purple as well from memory so it would stand out. Are you going to be able to make it to the charity cruise?

Man, if that was you the other week down at Miami. Awesome car!

I'm more curious as to how it will fair in court after the ruling handed down in Bell v Police ([2012] SASC 188)

Forfeiture overturned.

These type of laws clash with constitution. This is Sth Aus case where prosecution was beaten.

The laws are an affront to freedom of association on the bikie front in sa and qld and an interference with private property by the Crown - Both the fault of the executive (politicians) and laws that are unlikely ever to succeed for very good reasons when heard before the High Court.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a big, big difference between a 'privilege' and a 'right'. The ability to hold a driver's licence is a 'privilege'. The ownership of property is a right. I'm arguing for no more than the protection of the rights of all citizens and the basic jurisprudential principle of the rule of law.

By all means, take away a convicted hoon's privilege of being able to operate a vehicle on public roads, but their property rights are indissoluble and inviolable. Punishment is about the removal of privileges. It is not about arbitrarily removing the rights of others.

English jurist John Locke wrote in The Second Treatise of Government that "whenever the legislators endeavour to take away and destroy the property of the people ... they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience ..."

The confiscation of motor vehicles for hooning offences is not a just law, and natural law principles dictate that when a law is not a just law (i.e. not founded on moral justice), then it is no law at all.

Bikies today SAU members tomorrow. Read article to see how draconian legislation is attempted to be made:

http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=926343&cid=BP_RSS_TOPSTORIES_3_LaborwalksoutonQldbikielawdebate_201113

Campbell Newman and ignorance of the constitution (the only document giving us any implied rights) seem to go hand in hand.

AWESOME NEWS!

I've only been driving the Skyline a couple of times a week at the moment. Fairly stock model but the front is way too low, have been left alone so far, only been pulled up for non defect reasons so far.

Probably should stop modding the daily too much.

I've heard of a Golf R getting defected for coilovers and an attempted defect for a stock AMG zorst, mind you AMG exhaust note is rather tasty stock.

Because there's only one legal ADR approved coilovers which I believe are the tein super streets or something like that anything else is illegal according to the law.

even if u get them engineered?

You can get them engineered. To do so, you would have to lock them in a static height permanently thus ruining your Coilovers. Even then, a lot of engineers don't want to touch then.

by this u mean not adjusting them anymore ?:D

or u have to weld them down? :(

then again... how often do people adjust the height of their coilovers? I know I only set mine once or twice in 3 years :P Would nismo ones sound more "legal" ?;)

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
