Nissan Skyline R33 GTST

Hey i was wondering if people here can help me, i got the dreaded yellow sticker the other day and it requires i get a RWC and then take it to VicRoads to get removed. Now im more than a little worried about goin for a RWC and here is why, well first off the list of nedded attention that was wrfiten on the sheet is Tyres, Horn, Park Lamps, Ground Height and Air Filter, now ive fixed these all up already but when i put the standard airbox back on the snorkle thingy wouldnt fit on because the FMIC pipe are in the way, i was told that im not alowed to have the FMIC on by the police and they said i will get a fine from epa in the mail and he didnt write it on the list, but i rang the epa and i was told that you can either have a FMIC or a Pod Filter and not both, which is why i put the stock airbox back on, so does anyone know if it will pass without the air snorkle thing on ??

Anyways i have a BOV and boost controller on and i still have the stock ones in my room so i can just put them back on temporarily and the same with a few other things, But one main thing im worried about is my drivers seat, its a Bride fixed back fiberglass one and i have a harness, its installed properly on bride rails but im not sure if its legal or not and unfortinatly i dont have the original seat to put back in it, i have the normal seat belt that i can put back in but does anyone know if the seat will pass ??

Also does anyone know if they will drive it when i go to get aq RWC for it ?? and will VicRoads drive it also ??

The reason im asking is because i have a screamer pipe on it and i dont reckon they will notice it unless they drive the car, i have the stock dump pipe still but its such a damn pain in the ass to change. Someone here must have had toi take there car to vicroads to get a canary removed b4, did they test drive the car ??

Anyways thats about it, there are quite a few other things but i still have the stock parts to put back on it so im good there. So if anyone can answer any of my questions i would be gratefull.

Thankyou.

Just a quick one, what would be best - EBC Green Yellow or Red Stuff

As long as the seat is ADR approved, you'll be right, but you'll have to find out from the manufacturer. Although if it's a fibrglass racing seat, it's probably been stamped with track use only, in which case, put the old seat back in.

Screemer pipes are illegal, as they dont let the exhaust gasses pass through the cat. I am not sure if you will get away with it as Vic Roads are usually switched on to those things as they look out for them. Just might wanna dodgy somthing up to hide the pipe that goes nowhere.

ok cool thanks for the tip, i have the stock pipe so i can put it back on .. Does anyone know if Vic Roads will actually want to drive the car, from what ive been lead to beleive is that they will just give it a quick visual check over to make sure the RWC is good.

Also does anyone know if a Bride seat is ADR approved ?

    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
