Single Turbo Conversion On Gtr

[viking]

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

any1 had any issues with authorities?

is it worth the effort for a street car?

what state are you in?

this really isnt suited to FI section.

And anything on a car is defectable.

If you make it easier for them, thats your choice.

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

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

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.
