Well.....

About the rebuild.....

I had only just purchased the car about 3 months ago now, it was in stock form.

I had bought it to setup for drift. Within the first 2 weeks of owning the car i had spent a stupid $7k on it! This included

- RG Coilovers front and rear

- Adjustable caster rods

- 2 way mechanical LSD

- 3inch exhuast system

- Front mount intercooler

- Pod filter

- Greddy Profec B SPec II boost control

- Oil cooler with remote filter

- Drift pinapples

- Greddy 8's Spark plugs

- Oil catch can

- Greddy boost gauge

- AdjustableRear camber arms

- 18" AVS rims

+ heaps of other small crap along the way

So i spent some cash! I ha d just parked it on the road to run inside for 2 seconds and BANG!!! Some Fark wit smashed into the rear, slamming it into the gutter cheesing up my nice new rims, bending my lower conntrol arm, hicas arm, wheel hub, drive shaft and brake assembly! Not to mention smashing in the rear panel and boot lid! As it may be Mr Fark Wit dosent carry insurance to my displeasure, so off to court i am!

The worst thing is it will be like getting blood out of a farkn stone, so for the mean time my re build is out of my own pocket.

The whole car now has been stripped down(excluding engine) and it undergoing a full respray.

All the under carriage has been replaced. Hope fully it will be on the road again by next week!

I ordered some sparco seats, Half cage ( Bonds Roll Bars - Sydney) TRS harnesses and a few other goodies

Cheers AD

Can any one tell me how i can post pics??

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
