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)

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
