Bend Me Over Dickson

[Manuel Kasko]

Like $4000 with it being back to stock parts
I want to take the turbo, coilovers, injectors, boost controller, ECU and Z32 off it

Lets see how this dickson run goes first I guess.

My other option is to get my mum to register it in NSW under her name at a workshop down the coast

[Trozzle]

Injectors and coilovers won't be transferable to the R34, as I'm sure you're aware. Unsure about ECU, though it's probably in the same boat.

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah the only thing I'll pretty much be fitting to the 34 will be the turbo.
The rest of the stuff I could still sell off the car and probably make more money than selling it with the car.
Especially since the injectors and things will be no use without the turbo anyways.

[Pattey21]

Not true. At all.

Hope they don't give you too much pain Dan. If they heard yours no doubt my mate will get a letter for his white s15. :\ so glad i never go up there.

well there you go its not true at all, never mind what i said.

for your coilovers set the eyebrow heights to 370-380mm.

for your boost controller if it is easy to remove and just plumb straight from intake barb to wastegate. otherwise wait to see what they sau.

dont have any gauges on the on the dash or a-pillar if you have a pod filer make sure its secure. as you said just try do the simple obvious stuff and see how you go.

[Trozzle]

Not true. At all.

ACTUALLY, it's partially true. (from what I gathered from the guy who engineered mine) anything non-OEM that can change the function of the vehicle in any way is supposed to be engineered...whether Dickson give a fark or not is different.

Dash mounted gauges and 33 GT-R wheels needed to be put on mine, not by request of the Dickheads at Dickson, but that's just the way it was supposed to be done.

Exactly!

[Manuel Kasko]

Also also got a MSD window switch wired into my glove compartment. Hopefully that's not a big deal.

Anyone got the workshop books that I'm going to need?

The laws allow for variance. You can change things within certain boundaries. For example: standard r32 turbos to -7's will not need to be engineered (i know this for a fact). Eiji mentioned a grey area in the act about replacing parts to the closest you can get is allowed. He seemed to know more about it. You can increase power by a certain amount without needing to engineer the car. To simply say any mod requires an engineers cert is completely wrong. ACT is weird in the way it is governed.

[Trozzle]

Disregard. I dead set honestly have no idea what I was thinking. Derp. What you said is correct and I know it lol, f**k knows what was going on in my head when I wrote that. He only noted them on their because they were there, not because they mattered.

[Anfanee]

<3 Troy. U are a bro.

yes that is all true. i didn't mean what i wrote to be taken completely literally. What i meant by factory was factory options eg car came with side mount and is turbo so changing to a front mount or another factory option turbo or similar equivalent is fine. however making a car turbo that never was a factory option would need engineering. This does not at all reflect what i initially wrote. I wrote it quickly and didn't leave much for interpretation so my bad for being misleading, i hope this has all been cleared up now :-)

[Manuel Kasko]

Anyone know how they go with boot lining and boot struts?

Mine don't hold the boot open and my boot has no carpet either. Below are my current concerns.

-MSD window switch in my glovebox

-intercooler runs under the battery tray

-only one child restraint?

-boot doesn't hold itself up

-no boot lining

-rolled guards with plastic removed

[dontyellpl0x]

I dont see how they would be safety issues. Do they even check the boot. I didn't go to dickson with mine, but the guys I went to didnt even touch my boot.

[Manuel Kasko]

Bryce had an issue with spare tire.

So I guess they checked his.

Oh and also I don't have any of the workshop books etc

[Pattey21]

i think you need a spare tire, and only a owners manual. mine passed dickson without boot lining, my boot struts did work and a did have splash guards at the front at that point in time. it didnt have a front mount but the front bumper was modified to one to if they didnt care about that surely the wont care about splash guards.

Only one will not suffice for child restraints. I had one in the middle - I was told to get 3.

[Manuel Kasko]

and did you end up getting 3?

[RosieR34]

I did - they also asked for an Engineers cert - However, I went to john at Trojan from which he installed it in - I didn't have the time to get the Engineers cert but still went over Dickson. They asked for the Cert - I said I didn't have time getting one, then they asked who installed it and I said John from Trojan to which he ask to see the recipe - the guys checked the back and said it was missing rivet bolts and to sort it out or they'll take my plates - then passed me

[Manuel Kasko]

Oh god, I can tell I'm going to get raped when I go over
