ok so Im moving to sydney from the wild west. and i have heard that the RTA is a lil bit stricter over east than it is in perth. am moving my r 32 with a cat back and fmic, bit i have plans for a bit more.

i have heard that the fmic ( I have cut throught engine bay for the piping) will be a problem going over the pits is this true????

is there a tiime limit of when i have to register my car in nsw or can i just keep paying registration in WA (will be sent to my mums house)

also am using auto trans for the transport duties from west to east , have been quoted $1003 will nothing in the car.

has anybody used these guys or do they know anybody cheaper/better??

Car should be fine, just dont go cruising George St (then you'll be a defect magnet) :O

Although yeah the police wil try and defect you for all sorts of things if pulled over and they're behind on their quota for the month (Ive been done for having "airbox too shiny", seriously)

FMIC will grab there attention any time of the day or night because its the easiest thing for them to see and it mainly the only thing they know lol.

my advice to never getting defected, just drive in peak hour traffic lol.... and victoria road balmain isn't the best place to hang around either.

depends where you live in sydney. I have owned lots of highly modified imports (like very modified) and have never been defected. but I don't cruise around the rocks at 10km/h with the stereo pumping and I don't cruise around bankstown either. so that would certainly help.

fair enough, i have been thinking about spraying the FMIC black you this will help i have a navy blue car. i plan on keeping the outside pretty stock. (no kit maybe a lil bit lower but not ridiculous, and no decals) thanx for the help guys

Painting your FMIC black is probably a good idea. If it's not shiny and doesn't stand out and you behave yourself then they generally leave you alone, that's my experience any how. Every one knows where the common hot spots are so if you don't want to get defected just stay away from them.

that doesnt work. I got pulled over on epping road in bumper to bumper traffic at 8:30am a few weeks back and got done for bald rear tyres.

i drive sensibly, dont go to known hotspots and generally mind my own business. yet i have been pulled over for "random breath tests" 3 times in last two weeks and followed home by cops. so if they wanna get you they will. as the last coppa nicely put "skylines are our flavour on the month"

in relation to getting your car over here im not sure what the guys are like you are using but i know Ceva logistics are pretty good. give em a call to get a price 1300 655 594. cant hurt to get a quote anyway.

kuma i owe you 300 bucks haha cheers mate

haha yeah no problem my bank details are.....

no problem hey. i work for TNT and we recomend Ceva to do all our car transport cause TNT doesnt do it anymore but anyway thats not the point. the point is you saved some cash.

:ermm: hope the move goes well.

I work in Balmain and do the Victoria Rd drive from Ryde every day, haven't ever really had any trouble with Police/Defect stations even at night but then again i've only been doing it for 4 months or so.

You should be fine just obviously avoid George St etc + Any other hotspot where a good night means cruising round the same block in your cannoned civic 200 times in 1st gear.

Welcome to NSW!

To answer one of your Qs

Dual citizenship is possible. You can be deemed as a New South Welshman via your debit card, electricity & phone bills and...

You can be deemed as a West Australian via your dog 'er car registration and electoral roll details.

If you get pulled over, you need to remember where you're from (and put on ur 10 gallon hat + West Oz accent). lolz

Legally, I believe that there's a time limit though - check with the RTA unless you wish to keep "One Get Of Jail Free Card" called ignorance!

Great driving roads include...

i) Macquarie Pass > Kangaroo Valley > Cambewarra Mtn Rd > Berry > Kangaroo Valley Rd > Kangaroo Valley > Jamberoo Mtn Rd > Kiama > Sydney

ii) Old Pacific Hwy to Gosford and have a meal at La Porchetta Restaurant cnr Manns Rd & Central Coast Hwy (for Nissan lovers)

iii) Bells Line Of Road (strongly policed)

iv) Royal National Park & Lawrence Hargreaves Drive down the coast to Wollongong

Tez.

BTW, remove your radar detector & radar detector detector detector.

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
