funniest thing was it was on my way to work i was on my way outside the carpark LOLL :( so close yet so far.

Man that sucks!

Anyways guys, my defect is now cleared ($517 later).

Went back to vicroads and they had trouble finding the certificate again!! They eventually found it on the system, stamped my defect and said have a nice day.

No more strange looks at my car now with the yellow sticker gone. I think to onlookers, a defect sticker gives them the impression you are a criminal and/or serial killer/rapist

Hey guys,

I've been talking to Pettett via email. The guy is quite friendly and he is more than happy to answer any questions in regards to modification.

yeah... quite freindly... kinda like a guy f**king you in the ass and then giving you a reacharound

just a thought not being cocky or anything.

they only reason why the engineers don't sign off on the airbagged skylines is because it hasnt been tested ? wouldnt it be so much easier to get like a fund drive to get like 1-2 r33's or 34's and put front mounts in them and crash em and see if they change the impact and shit.

would it matter if its turbo or na ?

could get some race only skylines imported slap some front mounts on crash em with an engineer next to u or whatever then they coudl see and would sign off to all the intercoolers being on ?

just a option.

They cant do anything if your not in the car.

i know its a bit late but had to pick up on this one. i was at trade school one day when the cops did a sweep through at lunch time, when nobody was around, heaps of people (me included) came back to find a sweet canary on the windscreen with a sealed packet that contained the list of things wrong. cops were long gone before anyone came back. c*nts (in all fairness my car was a fair nugget tho lol)

honestly everyone knows that its a defect so YOU will have to fix it. I'm not sure if you might go speak to the machnic that issued the RWC and make him pay the bill as he has passed it for RWC when the car is defected

Well mate this might come as a surprise but i actually did not know that its a defect since its the first modified car that i have ever purchased.. and none of my mates have cars with front mount intercoolers so had no idea about the hole cutting in the battery tray..

Even if i have to fix it, does anyone know of any engineers around the South Eastern suburbs where i can go to get this done?

Cheers..

Hi,

I really do feel your pain my friend.

Call Tony at 'TGS Muscle Cars', in Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin.

He has (had) access to a great engineer who helped my brother and I out with this same issue...a little over a year ago.

I hope this helps....you can only find out!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
