lol... you want past experience?

Wait until the officer drives off and then pull the defect sticker off right away OR as soon as you get home.

Then just sticky tape it on once it dries (or just wipe the glue off and tape it on). It's only illegal to not display it... Says nothing about taking it off and immediately re-affixing so it's not a massive pain in the ass later!

That's true experience for ya :merli:

Lol I did this, except in front of the cop, I had tape with me and he said its fine lol

Yeh went into hillside after finding it lol that moved back from burwood hwy. They can't fit me in soon is the problem. Email and rang EPA for extension but I just would rather get it cleared asap.

It's for an R33 GTST out of curiosity what difference does that make? different hangars or something for exhaust?

Edited by jukic.j

Hanger points are the same gtst to gtr. Only difficulty you may find is trying to fit a gtst specific exhaust onto a gtr because as we have found out trying to put my super drager onto grants R the curve of the rear section isn't designed to clear the subframe brace so it fouls against it.

I believe it's that hangers/points where it attaches that are different, but I could be wrong about this. I have a 33gtst full stock exhaust you could possibly borrow mate?

34/33 (non gtr) have the same 4 hanger points.

just some minor differences in the muffler and pipe itself.

Ah the Hume Camera's have been on since Aug, so probably caught speeding then come processing time - system realises it was suspended.

That is amusing failboat at it's best

Yup came with a speeding fine too. whatta fail

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

now i've got question which i cant seem to get a straight answer for.

can i notch castor rod mounts ( think of s13 ones, they bolt up to the rad support and chassis rails under the engine bay) as in cut a section out and weld in a bit of thick angle or C channel to clear something ?

kinda like this

( couldn't center it with out the full stops)

called up some auto engineers off the vic roads site and cant get a straight answer and my rwc guy is away sick

thanks

lol Nik, love it - and i do agree given the "level of effort" factor. :thumbsup:

Slightly not so simple answer:

No - without VASS approval.
Conditional Yes - with VASS approval (Engineers Cert) - but you MUST talk to them BEFORE doing it to understand their requirements.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
