ive been twitching to goto the licensing centre to apply for permits for my mods.. but im not sure if i bring my car there, can the officiers who check the car give you a yellow sticker on the spot?

my main mods are: fmic, exhaust, airpod (secured), bov, boost gauge, oil catch can, tint, lowered.

nah the people at the pits cant give u a yellow if they dont aprove of the mod they will tell you to either fix it or go away :) but yer there will tell you politely wats legal and wats not

TUYEN wif your bov it has to be plump back it cant be atmospheric, put a baffle in the zorst and i dont know if u can get permits for tints and lowering

STEVE ive got these mods BOV, POD, FMIC, ZORST, GAUGES in greddy pods and under car neons ;) but i got a shift light and catch can which i didnt get permits for coz i took em off.

i already had permits but i was helpin a m8 on the side of the road with fuel and cops came over and see wha was happening and checked me car i had permits for everything else but the catch can and bleed valve so i have to go again to get em again next week

they'll always find something to shat on you for.....that's what happens when ur 18 and drive something nice.

:) that isnt ture, im 18 drive an r33 gts-t, and have yet to have a problem with the cops, i have bene pulled over about 3times now, each time the cop was nice had a talk to me about my car and about my mods, never got a yellow or had a cop be an asshole too me, i say its the persons attitude (spelling)

see, last time i was pulled over, they were interested in my catch can. I told them that it wasn't a performance mod and was purchased when i first got the vehicle to help monitor the health of my engine as I know nothing about them and was recommended by my mechanic to fit one. I explained that an unhealthy engine blew oil into the air intake and that this can caught that oil. I then pointed out that the can is completely empty so I was very glad that my engine was indeed healthy. He advised that I get a permit for it at my next convenience and i thanked him and went on my way. Regardless of the fact that I have FMIC, EBC, PFC all with no permits!

heh, i was originally living in geraldton when i bought my car, but i was moving to perth 5 days later.. in that 5 days i got pulled over 17 times. :D

the police seem to have a problem with me having such a car, and my dad being a cop himself... i dont see how that affects what car i own tho.. :confused:

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
