^ Totally agree as usual Nik :D

The EPA laws for the most part are in many cases from 1992. Very out of touch with the real world as it stands today. However reforms simply won't come until the Gov't realise there is money in it.

As there most certainly is - do what WA do with the "mod permit" scheme. Each mod(s) require certs/permits as long as they are within reason.

Then charge money for such certs/inspections. Gov't would make a fk'en fortune and we could all drive legally on the streets (again, within reason) :)

Sadly it is the muppets that ruin it for everyone else. People putting blown/injected V8s into Cortinas case point number one. They just were not built to have 800hp motors in them and a LOT of people dodge the conversions up. Of course some do it right, but they are always a minority as it costs money to do a proper conversion mechanically.

Oh and many congrats btw mate :thumbsup:

Woohoo..coped my first defect in the Gtr after having my license for 3 weeks for being too low, it's only a minor. What ball park in price will I be looking at to get it raised, it has Olins coilovers

You're lucky. I got defected for height a week ago and they gave me a major so I needed RWC.

You would be looking at roughly $100 in labour to adjust suspension and then you should also consider a wheel alignment.

Do you know how much lower than legal it was? If it's not much you could get the mechanic to tuck the exhaust up a bit (by far the lowest point on mine when I got defected a few months back), bigger tyres will also help obviously if you're able to borrow them from somewhere.

If they look at the tyre placard then you won't pass with high profile tyres etc.

Sometimes they might, sometimes they might not.

Well hopefully they don't check. And Ric, the exhaust is the lowest point but it's low by quite abit exhaust tuck won't do much I reckon even though it's the lowest point

You can ask the suspension place to put some rubber spacers in. This may get you out of trouble and take care of some of the sag in the springs which occur over time.

Attending to the exhaust and raising it up slightly is a good idea.

Hrmm that sucks drove all the way to my house to borrow a C-spanner for nothing.

Not sure what you can do James because looking at your car your exhaust was very low

Either stock exhaust or stock suspension are my only ideas :(

the make it not hang so low? or if you want to get fancy they'll custom make the piping to go above shit, my one they made the hangers shorter i believe..

probably helped that i know them hence paying $50 but eh its really not that hard like your implying

Hmmm interesting.

Custom making piping is pretty expensive (definitely not $50), but I get where you are going with re making the hangars. That would cost your quoted $50, so you are spot on. Getting the hangers changed would work pretty well, so it's a good suggestion. :thumbsup:

exhaust tuck will 100% solve your problems you can get it basically flush against the under body costs fk all to tuck an exhaust

Flush under the body is going to melt $hit! you need at least 25mm (the requirement). Stainless sheet with air gaps are your friend.

I'm not implying it's hard. Hell, I made the whole stainless system on my 1600 including the dump (took me 4 days just for the dump mind you because I made it from scratch, but did get the flanges laser cut...)

    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment
