Since LadyBytes has "let the cat out of the bag", Yes, I did get my skyline last night (Friday). I drove it back from Sydney.

Its a stock R34 GTT with white enkie 17" wheels and and after market air filter (pod).

These photos are from carsales, as I havent conned Tuk Tuk to take any photos yet, I really need to give it a good clean, polish and wax first, but this should give you an idea.

I'm pretty over the moon with it, Now I gotta get its rego changed over which means a few things..

The pod isnt going to get over the pits, has anyone got a stock air filter I can borrow to get this over the pits?

Also, I'm going to need tyres. Michele told me to talk to you Mick about some road federals, I dont want the 595s - I'll kill myself with them :) I'll send you a PM.

Also, big thanks to Turismo for going and having a look at the car initially for me.

Now, I guess the fun begins....

Grats on the car,looks good, as long as the pods secured it should get passed by dickson as far as I know. I had my car switched late last year and back then at least pos were legal in the act.

Thanks CeJay, I might give Dickson a call - see if I can get any sence out of them!!!will be difficult!!!

I might have to go for a quick walk one arvo to check this driveway out! =D

Pete, were your ears burning yesterday?

An old friend of yours was asking why you weren't competing in the hillclimb yesterday... said you should get your @rse out there.

Yeah? I know a few people that it might be, care to narrow it down?

Also, do you guys see many Evos or Corollas in your little street of Skyliney goodness?

Does Corollas narrow it down enough or do you need more info?

We get Evos at the track... but managed to keep them under control the last two times, they're fast though and its about their turn to come up and whip our butts.

So when are you joining us at the track? Michael said you should be there.

Get your ass out there Pete! Would be interesting to see what your beast can do around the track! Also would be good to see if the look on your face is similar to most others when the 'little' corolla cruises through quicker than them...

Actually, i'm not quite at skyline level yet, but i'm getting closer. the best look of the day was when michele came through quicker than mark in the gtr!

So i'll see u there in november Pete? :rolleyes:

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
