tonight i was riding with my mate, r33 with blue neons.

you cant see the tubes at all only the globes, and the cops

threatened him with a red sticker if they saw them on his car again

and im like wtf??

also if you get a yellow with like 30min on your car, is there anything you can do to extend your time like call the Dept of Trans and tell them to cancel your plates and have your car towed until you can relicence it?

A red defect, as opposed to then standard yellow, means that you cant drive the car at all until its cleared. This is in NSW anyway.

With a yellow you can drive the car home & also to get it cleared. With a red its a tow home from where you were pulled over & also a tow to get it cleared.

A mate of mine recently copped a red defect for having an RB20DET & R33 brakes on his S13 without an engineers certificate.

if you cant see the tubes at all from another car then they are perfectly legal. they cant give you a "red sticker" because they dont exist anymore. in that situation i would suggest saying give me a yellow sticker if that is what you think is necessary and then file a complaint when you take it to the pits. often the pit inspectors (in perth anyway) will help you because they get shitty having to waste time on cars with stupid yellow stickers.

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
