im in vic

i've got every mod hidden out of sight as much as possible to look standard (i'm sure they'll find it if they wanted to). but unfortunately more power comes at a cost.

just interested if majority of road checks resulted in cops giving drivers a hard time about mods.

Read the vic section.

You can bet that half will result in a defect, if you make it obvious, then expect it.

you dont need a big one to have big power, you can get 2 lowmounts

increase use, increase risk, its all relative

was thinking about single turbo conversion on my gtr but my only concern is cops and canaries.

I think you will get hassles regardless. You are driving an import; cops love defecting imports.

is it worth the effort for a street car?

Well this question depends entirely on you. You have to ask yourself, could I be bothered changing everything back to standard if I get a defective vehicle notice.

I personally believe if modifying your car is going to make you happy. GO FOR IT! You really shouldn't let circumstances (or circumstances that may arise) determine your life.

However, having said that; I know some of you who are reading this probably thinking that I am a moron and that we should abide by laws set by governing bodies. But I firmly believe that all the EPA notices/ defecting modified cars is a load of hogwash considering this country along with the US are the only two nations not to sign the Kyoto protocol.(Referring to the argument that states modified vehicles do not meet emission standards.)

This is my own personal view point and I totally understand if people argue against it.

yeah youll get lots of hassles regardless but if you get some nice oem looking twins that flow higher and turn up the boost a little you should be able to get some damn nice power and keep the stocker looking twins. n1's or gt-ss or even just steel wheeled stockers

Even when I used to drive the R as a daily driver with the high mount, I never got hassled by the cops.

Got pulled over once and they asked me to pop the bonnet. I shat myself right there and then.

I had no choice (AFAIK) so I did and they looked around nice and carefully. His final comment was "Nice engine bay." He checked the ride height which was legal and closed the bonnet and off I went.

The car had just been in MAS so everything was spik and span in there. Shiney and clean.

Moral of the story is, you may get lucky and they'll let you go coz they appreciate the amount of work you've put into the car or they'll d1ck you harder than Lexington Steel ever could.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
