all i did was fit a metal plate to the top of the panel filter...after a bit of trial and error found out that if you drill 19 10mm holes in this plate it will restrict the air flow to approx low 130kw at the wheels... this was tested on a dyno and i wrote up a special sheet listing all this information listing the normal power output of the skyline and then stating my new power output and the weight of the car etc then i showed some calculations and got the owner of the dyno place to sign and stamp the form etc etc made it all official and sent it into the insurance company..

How do you get a higher no claim rating if you don't have comprehensive insurance?  Or do you have it on another car?

i have a rating 2 on my daewoo but i havent had it for a year so i have to wait for that to be up...

turtle - yeah 3rd party is about all im going to get until next year... by then i should have it setup how i like it.

akeenan - 130 at the wheels? thats about what a stock R33 puts out anyway... i think one of the guys last time we went to a dyno day was only puting out just over 130rwkw and he had a s-afc, exhaust, pod and bleed valve. which will still make it too powerful.

You guys are wasting too much time. If you're that bloody worried about the legal aspects, go and get a non turbo for now. They still go better than the average commonwhore (not to mention look shit loads better), insurance with be cheaper, and they're P plate legal. Then when your off ya Ps, sell it and get a turbo.

Remember if the car is modified and certified to have less than 125kw per tonne, theres nothing stopping you from changing it back once you get the all clear. If you were pulled over or had a stack and they found mods that make the car go faster (instead of slower), your stuffed basically.

ok

well lets

officially the r33 gts-t on factory settings runs at 187kw right

but if you tested it

it wouldn't run directly 187 kw right?

prolly run about 160-170

so it would be legal then.

and witht he boost controller settings. would insurance accept that bcos u can easily just tune it back up hehe so its a bit dodgy but i guess you don't tell them that.:D

i didnt miss it i simply ignored it

Then whats the point of modifing it in the first place??????? To get insurance that wont cover you??????:bonk: It dont make sense to me!!!:confused: :confused:

Dude i got a bov on my GTS-t but i also hav the stock bov on as well so that if i ever get pulled over they notice the stock one on. I also hav a blitz one place further down near the pod filter and its quiet but hey at least it does its job. With insurance im on third party fire and theft wit just cars and im on rating 5 so im just gonna wait till i get a better rating and go from there ! Or if i get a job go for full comp.

With gettin a GTS-t for your p's dont dude, im glad i had a shitbox to begin wit otherwise peer pressure kicks in and u start doin stupid things next thing u know u got 2 demerit points left and $500 worth of damage to your ride. Get some 80's rwd car so u know what oversteer is and how to compensate for loss of traction in the rain.

I got a 85 corona wagon for my first car and i still got it and use it as my daily driver and recently i got the R33 GTS-t and now when i wanna start work on the 33 i got a back up at least ! But like someone else said its up to u in the end but be careful dont blow it all on one car make sure u got a back up always. And yes im wit MCCR r u amased that i hav some intellect !

does anyone here have BOV in their skyline?

people are telling me they are illegal in vic

BOVs are illegal if they dont vent back to the exhaust. I dunno why... its filtered, CLEAN air :confused: . The other thing is they must be quiter than 98dB (like everything else on the car).

Bov's vent back to the intake. Wastagetes vent back to the exhaust. Both are illegal if they vent to air. BOV's if they vent completly to air in most cases make the car run extremely rich and cause higher emmissions and back firing, thats the part they don't like.

BOV's and wastagtes including vent back ones are not allowed to exceed the standard DB levels, but i don't know how they measure that. (how far or angles)

Personally I think the BOV noise is crap, sounds heaps better venting back if you have a big rampod intake (Note there illegal too) If you don't care and want the best wank value noise get an external wastgate and vent that externally via a screemer pipe.

:D

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
