Got my first defect on friday night, the melbourne cops are up here at albury/wodonga at the moment so they actually/half know what there talkin about compared to the local cops. I got done for bov, boost controller, fmic and pod they didnt see the apexi power fc can you get done for that and i was lucky as i have no cat but my exhaust isnt too loud which is good :-(

Yes, you get done for having an aftermarket ECU..Affects emissions (same reason for a boost controller) and so are illegal in Vic, unsure if it is in NSW though..

Bad luck mate, but it was alright considering they didn't get you for the PFC or the cat (or lack thereof~)

its bullsh!t tho, correct me if im wrong or dont know what im talking about, we have better emmissions with a turbo than with a NA car... so if we have an aftermarkey ECU or boost controler we'll have the same emitions as them? or is it different emmitions all together?

No see the issuse with an aftermarket ECU is the fact that your altering the Air/Fuel. When most tuners chage your maps the smooth them out and generaly the car runs richer, especialy in high boost applications etc. When you alter the A/F your producing more gasses from your exhaust. Thats why it's an EPA issue.

My GTR has recently had two full inspections by the RTA QLD (Passed) and another one in the ACT in the last few months. Zorst is the only thing I changed to pass ACT. It's modded fairly well but is safe and passed the emissions test. However frightned if the CF bonnet is lifted by the VIC/NSW police. BoV's, Catch Can, C west wing, CF bonnett, EVC III, torque n drag controllers, pods, FMIC, PFC etc.

If a car is passed in other states whats the go on Random vehicle inspections interstate. I'd be classed as a smart arse if I reason that it's fine where I'm from. Do I go back to ACT or are you required to get it passed in the state which has the problem? Do the cops re-imburse the inspection fee's if they're wrong. Presenting an engineers cert help?

BTW - I drive it every day in Canberra and have not been harrased by the local police or RTA.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
