hey guys finally down to the last stages at the moment just want to make sure i done evrything correct and all is good here are the mods and things already done for enginerring

PS i live in NSW

1---Ram pod ---sealed at the pointy end K&N apparantley this is ok for engineering as it has stoped the direct flame path???

2---bigger turbo---

3---custom ex manifold high mount--- fully heat wrapped is this ok??

4---front mount---

5---blow off --- not plumbed back will be removed for engineering and a plate bolted on instead

6---custom dump--- heat wraped

7--- 3inch ex--- hope fully passes DB check

8---rb20det install--- bigger type M r32 4 pot callipers

9--- nissan patroll brake master---

10---ABS installed---

11---Xtreme heavy duty clutch---

i think thats bout it as for engineering mods there are others but not effect engineering

is there anything else i need to do or change to pass the engineers report hight at lowest point at the moment is 130mm bla bla

please ask me questions bout the mods if you think it will help you help me

:D

Different engineers will say different things depending on who you talk to. For example I have heard some engineers refuse to sign off on high mount turbos, others are quite happy too.

You need to contact one of the RTA approved engineers and ask them. Would save you time too.

point taken and i know i just dont want to have to pay this guy twice you know what i mean

id rather have it all dine before i get it done and save some money

but anyway i think i have it covered on all fronts as far as common sense goes im sure that most of the engineering side is common sense safety procautions

but anyway have since last night drppoed a coil pack so its ****ed have 6 more express bagged to my door this arvo so should be here tomorrow

so now its just a waiting game

going to get the car weighed at the weigh bridge for blueslip noise and EPA test next week so ill keep the everyone posted on how it all goes kinda like a diary so everyone knows what needs to be done and ill try and get some more info on other mods as well

so stay tuned for more ill keep posting

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
