i went over with a K&N airpod, but i also got away with some other stuff like a screamer pipe which is apparently quite illegal. it depends on what inspector you get but you can deifnately get permits for them as long as they are secured

so that beast 32 GTR is coming to perth then eh?!

get permits for everything so the cops cant get you for the obvious items, but if they really want to theyll go over your car and find something minuscule and stupid like a hairline crack in your exhaust or something stupid.

its $28.50 for a mod license which you can put 5 things on.

so after you go over the pits and get your plates etc. go back to the pits and say i want to get a permit for this pod filter, BOV or whatever. theyll do a few checks and issue you with the permit.

some things you cant get permits for like dodgey pod filters or dual trumpet rice-boy BOV's

I got a permit for my K & N, but thats about it (only mod as it is N/A );)

Simply done hey as everyone else says, when you go to register the car get the permits their and then, i got my mum to take my car when i got the canary, easier on older people. I didn't want to go anyway :)

if you have defect car ou should not even driving it simple as that but surely how the F**ck they ganna check hairline fracture for exust... what are they ganna use bloody X-rays to find that? as long as your is not over the top modified they are happy to issue permit on writing...

Inspector/engineers are not picky like cops cuz majority of cops dont know jack shit about cars and just pinn you for haivng 4 tires in your car if they wants to! or Being smart ass (that's different story!) :)

theres a big difference between a defected or yellow stickered car and an unroadworthy car

yellow stickers can be given out for pod filters, and BOV's and exhaust this doesnt make them unroadworthy though...

all you need to do is get a permit, or not drive like a tool. cos if they dont pull you over they cant check your car. but for $28 a permit is worth it as youre paying $50 every time you go over the pits to get a yellow sticker removed

moral of the sorty: get a permit!:)

haha settle was just exagerating and making a point that the coppers will pick you for anything they can get you for.

my mate had to take his skyline over the pits last week (bald tyres) and he said everything was fine bar the convex/cave mirrors which were on it (c-red hadn't changed them) but still got it licenced? and he told him to come under the car to have a look at the exhaust which had a crack in it but wasnt leaking, so he had to get that welded up. now thats bullshit.

I would have assumed that my car would have been licensed with the POD filter after it was brought into Australia. It was already installed at the dealership when first purchased, mine is a HKS item.

Of course they could have swapped an OEM item in when going over the pits!!!

Where can you get an engineers report from in WA anyway?

Hey Guys with all this permit talk for mods...

Stupid question: what about VIC? I mean is it legal to have pod filters and what not in Victoria? Like is it possible to get an engerneering certificate or something to pull out and show the cops its legal?

Also with wheel upgrades same sorta thing apply?

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
