You may have heard of them, Parry smith is my grandfather.

Hi guys, good to see i am not alone up here. :P

Mega i hear you got the motor in, hows it all going?

Gary,

Yep the motor is in, the conversion only took one week to complete,we also changed the gearbox, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, ECU's and the complete wiring harness. I have had a few minor hassles though in the form of a stuffed injector and a loose afm plug and I also lost the ceramic turbine on one of the turbos but I fixed all that now.

Is that your car that your waiting for in your avatar? Looks nice!

When will it get here?

Have you seen the HKSGTR in town, its covered in stickers that say Streetmachines.com.au, I wonder who owns it? Looks sweet anyway!

MEGA

Just wondering if you are joking when you say the HKSGTR with Streetmachines.com.au stickers on it. Cause it is Theo from the streetmachines caryard in brissy, He came up to CQ for the drags at Banaraby and stayed in Happyrock for a little while. He really likes the strip up here. He has run his best time at banarby so far.

Sorry if you already know this but was not sure if you were joking or not.

Hi mega, good to hear you got it sorted, that is my car in avatar (the wait is killing me). I was talking to one of Theos mechs at the drags and he said they would probably have to stay around for a bit as their truck had some problems. they ended up driving the GTR half way from brisbane to gladstone.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • 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.
