Nismo32R: When they EPA'ed you did they take pics of the AVCR? If they did then those photos will be sent to the EPA department. What they are doing now (or at least what they did to me) is taking photos on the spot of what they defect you for. So in future if your caught with the same mod you'll get a fine. You better off taking the AVCR outta the car when u go in for the inspection. And dont make the mistake of giving them too much info about ur car, it'll backfire. Hope everything works out for yeah. Nick

LOL that sticker idea isnt too bad.

thumpr: I have a fren that does them, charges 75 for the chip. PM me if you want his email. You have to bring it down to dandi tho. Nick

You'll probably get aorund to doing ti b4 me, i wont be touching the car till the end of this year, performance wise anyways. Need some suspension work first, no point in being able to go fast and not be able to go around corners imo.

The coil pack tend to over heat cause of th enclosed area that they are in, I removed all the covers including the thin black piece that slides out after 2 of mine overheated. Plus it makes it easier to replace the sparkies. But yeah your misfiring when the engine gets reved higher is the exact same problem I had a year ago. Hope everything works out for you. Nick

How obscene is obscene?

Thanks guys

Dont mean to hijack but does anyone know where in Melbourne I can get a set of these pads? Sorry back to the topic.

R31 Nismoid, not really looking at the bigger picture. Ok look at it this way, say i still had the stock turbo, and upgraded the fuel sys. The power output probably would be around the same as I have now but who can say how long the turbo would have lasted as it was being pushed already near to its limits. (this is beside the fact that it was blown so i had to make a choice) But if i upgraded the fuel del sys now I could easly get another 30rwkw on top of what I already have now, safely. So say I had around 230@the wheels, would a gain of about 50rwkw be worth $1500? Plus the best part EPA can't really do much. Halz: yeah i'm pretty happy with the service and turbo i got. Your best bet since Kips is one busy dude down there is to have your own workshop take the turbo off and just bring that to ATP, the job will get done a fair bit quicker. Best thing is to talk to Kip as see what he ask you to do.

You know i used to think the cops were just doing their jobs and that alot of ppl were whinging for no reason, that they(importdrivers) in fact had done something majorly wrong, eg speeding. I drove my 34 around for over a year and a half, no problems with the cops, just the random pull overs which I reserve as them doing their jobs. Soon after all the skyline accidents(imports) started filling our local news thats when the crap hit the fan for me anyways. I had previously got a fine for "not having full control of the vechile", fair enough I was doing a u-turn in the wet over tram lines and i spun the wheels. My fault i excepted and paid the penalty. However a little while back, just b4 the new years i was in a Shell servo filling up, a cop pulls up behind me and tells me to pop the bonnet. Now that pissed me off, i was thinking to myself what did u do to warrant this sort of attention from the police. Mean while there are plenty of ppl that were speeding right in front of our eyes out on the main road. Does he pull them over or does he pull into a petrol kiosk and dick an import thats refuelling? Nick

ROy, mind me asking what turbo you have? Adzmax, what dyno dyno'ed your car?

LOLz i knew someone was going to post up a place where they got it done cheaper litterally right after I already had mine fixed. I juts got back from the windscreen shop like 15 mins ago. Next time post up a reply b4 members go elsewhere, it tends to make your post more helpful. Put up the location where you got yours done for future reference for other ppl in my situation like I have done. I might need it cause you never know when some dickhead with too much time on their hands are going to chuck a rock off of a bridge. Nick

Can I just ask, are these oil or gas filled? Thanks

I might be interested in the tyres depending on the size and brand (Potenza right). Let me know buddy. Nick

What windscreen: A Glass one, sorry counldnt help myself. Its just a custom one that they make up, they told me its the same thickness as the stock one. Model: ER34 [gtt34] Nick

From what I understand any mod in a car that changes the A/F ratio changes the amount of emmissions the car produces. And in order for you to get away with this is to get an engineers cert, which isn't cheap. The last time I went in there for an inspection which was about 2 months ago they hooked the car up to this little portable device they had. It check a whole heap of things and compared it with the stock settings which that device had stored in its memory. I dont make the rules but we all have to follow them, no matter how stupid they may seem. I mena look at the ban they have on BOV's, how does that pollute the enviroment? Noise pollution you say, look at all those Harley's,I heavnt heard one that under 120db. The law is the law, what can we do about it, nothing, all we can do is bitch and moan about it to others on forums. LOLZ

Pretty sure one of them (lower one) is the torque reading.

Nah thats just the one. YEa the thing that holding back me achieving more power is the fuel delivery system. Just not enough fuel, have to upgrade the injectors and pump. Probably not going to play around with that just yet as I have no money but a future goal of mine is that. Previously I got about 188rwkw on my stock turbo at around .95 bar. That was pushing the stocky and i proved that at heathcote, oh well. Kip reckons that this turbo is ok running 230-250rwkw but then again thats after the upgrade. Ok this is the deal right, off the mark the car seems slower, there is a fairly noticable amount of lag, I HATE IT. It really sucks u into the seat after 3500rpm whereas b4 at 3000. So its about a 600-800 more revs. I do have a dyno sheet with the stock turbo but i'll have to find it. Mods: Cat BAck Front pipe (standard dump and cat) Frount Mount PFC (I used letters on purpose) Boost controller. Panel Filter Current Power 206@wheels (highflowed) = Previously 188@wheels (stockturbo) DOnt know if this is good or bad but hope this helps others. Nick

Hey lweels: I found this shop in the city that replaces them for 285 fitted. Will be sending in the car tomorrow or the day after. This is the place: National Windscreens Speak to Cheryl Anthony 93264000 201 Arden Street North Melbourne Hope this helps Nick

Hey guys car's finally done, this is the result: At 15PSI [about 1 bar] The usual case ran outta injectors. Power delivery is great tho. Very happy with the results. Hope this helps any 34 owners. Nick

Anyone know where I can get a pair in Melbourne?

Hey lweels I was told today that most places (windscreen shop) would be able to make up a custom one, which would work out to be heaps cheaper then importing one. I'll be going to a few places to check out some prices tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip nsm034. Kinda hoping that there was a shop/wreckers here in Melbourne that had one. Anyone???

Anyone know where i can get one? Need one pretty ugently. Thanks

Yeah I got some family in Malaysia as well, but they are all ok. Hope everything starts getting better, a lot of ppl affected in many diff. countries.
