what about adding a more restrictive exhaust?

or maybe a boost restrictor and lower the boost to like 5 or 6psi?

call vic roads tomorow morning... tell them this car is the only means of transport for you to get to work/school and that you cannot sell it blah blah sob sob and if theres anything u can do to make it comply

Hmm... 6kw is some random guess if you ask me...

187kw

1360kg

= 137.5kw/tonne

Send akeenan a PM, he's in japan, but got some engineering certificate for a restrictive air box, which brought the power down. Altho the value of the cert. and the benefit to the car (restrictive airbox) was in question. Not sure if even a cert. was ok, but i think andrew got by with it fine. And the air box mod thingy was easy to take in and out as far as i can recall.

This doesn't sound good if the po po are actually enforcing this, as they've seem to have let it slip so far. I'm still gonna have about 9 months of P's left when i get my R34 :( And that's definitely over. What are the restrictions now that you've been pulled over for it?

I think they go off factory specs, so even if you detuened it, they wouldn't care....

first time i've heard of anyone being done for this!

but if thats the case then you could buy a lesser powered engine and do uber amounts of mods and it would be legal (providing the mods were legal of course) which doesnt make sense.

yeah, that's the stupid thing. Might have say... R33 GTS, throw a RB26DETT in, get the engineer ok, you're laughing. The car is registered as a non-turbo R33, easily under power to weight.

well for my car its 125kw/tonne right, so factory specs are 184kw/1398kg, which means its roughly 131kw/tonne...makes me bout 6kw over =(

btw inark, my car is TOTALLY standard, no exhaust no nothing! i could reduce the boost a bit, but if will they accecpt that is the question

ferni: true, no points, but if i get done again (according to the cop) i will get a bigger fine, and more demerit points, or if they feel im doing it on purpose take me to court

cop ALSO told me the ONLY cars (performance wise) i could drive are a ca18 180sx/silvia auto, NA r33, and some other dodge one i cant remember.

I think they go off factory specs, so even if you detuened it, they wouldn't care....

they go off factory specs ya, but if i detune it a lil (eg. restrict the boost) to make it legal, will they accecpt it? thats wat im askin :(

in the end it comes down to the cars actual power output. this is what one of the staff members at kamikaze argued to me. although it normally/easily goes off the factory specs, if the argument got serious, like going to court over it you would get the cars real kW rating. where does it say what method you should get the kw figure?

also, even though this doesn't help, car companies sometimes publish lower output figures in their books to keep the government happy*

ahah yeah i got done at knox, i didn't get hiz name, its on the fine though :)

is he the tight one? coz he was REALLY nice.....about giving me a fine, and he explained the whole bov thing to me and all that stuff (i got epa'd for atmo bov and asked him to explain why)

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
