how are the front calipers?

you got the front calipers? Interested if you do

Very interested in the turbo and pod, PM sent

Gonna take it to specialist import mechanic on monday, 200$ for the DIAG though, just to tell me what this other guy has broken. >

Ok, hope it works, anyone else got some thoughts on the matter? Or can someone recommend a good mechanic around the inner west area?

He has apparently reset the ECU, he said something about error codes coming up and it would be expensive to trace them.

Ok long story short, I had to put my r33 back to stock because it was defected and sent for a DECC inspection. This meant that i had to remove the - Pod filter - high flow cat stainless exhaust, large cannon - 2 stage Boost controller - Front mount intercooler to get it passed. It ran horribly after those things were all taken off and replaced with stock parts. Not last monday but the monday before i took the car back to a specialist performance mechanic who took the parts off, to get everything put back on, cause i finally got the car cleared. BUT, they after they re-attached everything, they can't get the car to run properly, and i've been told its unsafe to drive in its current state and that i will need to buy an apexi power FC for 1.5k, or some other computer that they told me was like 3.5k new, cause they can't get the car to run properly. Thats not including time spent tuning it. Are these guys messing with me? The car ran fine with the stock computer and all these mods before i got defected, i know cause I had it up over 180 and the thing was purring. Now they are afraid to put it on the DYNO cause they don't want to blow it up. What the hell should i do?

SOLD

Man, this just gets crazier. I spoke to JustJap @ kirrawee and the guy there told me that by law they have to destroy the original nissan cats that come off the car when they arrive here in Australia. These being the cats that the DECC say you need to pass your car. im f**king lost hey.

Sold pending payment.

looks just like the X5 in my pics so yeah sweet, passable cat.

Pics of the required CATS Those are the X4 and X5 cats, apparently an X3 is also passable but no photo of it. Sorry for the horrid scans but the photos i was given are not the best quality. Im still looking for one of these to get my car passed, PM if you have one!!

That is correct, i have even called and spoken with the one guy responsible for approving these things at the DECC. Greg somebody, and he is just painfully uncaring. He will give you the following options 1. Use non standard cat and pass an RTA emmsions test 2. Get the non ADR original nissan CAT and get it passed DECC inspection Believe me i tried to sort this out and get him to f**king see sense over this. Basically their reasoning is they can't trust mechanics or engineers or US. So unless you have compliance papers for your car, no deal. He even said if you get compliance papers now that youve been defected it wouldnt matter, you still have to go for an emmisions test again! Good times

No they wont pass the ADR compliance cats, trust me i have one ont he car atm. The DECC specifically want the original nissan parts that get taken off the car for compliance, i know it hard to understand but its the reality we seem to be faced with. The cats have and X3, X4, X5, stamped on the bottom, some have a nissan stamp also. If you have one that fits the above criteria PM me!
