Hi,

I got defected for an after market BOOST controller, (i got a simple T piece unit)

so that make that is illegal to have on the car.

my question is: a Pillar illegal?

I am thinking of geting a pillar to hold my boost gauge.

Maybe i just gona mount it where the radio used to sit.

cheers,

darrien

dammit, i have hidden my boost controller in the hope that it won't be spotted in the event of a search. Its an avcr, put controller in the glove box and assumed cops wouldn't know what to look at under bonnet. Bummer, may have underestimated them

Anyway i'm pretty sure a-pillar mounts are illegal as Wink said cause they're above the dash. It would prolly depend on what policeman u got looking too i guess

the A pillar gauges have to be outside of the area of head impact zone...in short...not higher than your cluster....other than that it's illegal...

wow the xops must know a lot abt cars to notice yout tvalve...

NO fine was issued,

- exhaust not standard,

that wat he puts down, didnt said it was loud.

gona get it tested, if it below 90db, hehhee, that shall shut them off from now ON.

but i got a silencer, ready, Bought from DANR33, (its good to have a back up plan) :)

It was a Minor defect, i can get it clear by AIS, that give pink slip. so i reckon it shouldnt be too hard,

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
