So we're all catching the bus, to avoid stickers, until that DPI statement is released :D

Driving the 1984 small block chev powered Nissan Patrol running a 600 holley (jetted by me) / ski boat profiled cam shaft on 91 octone unleaded and no cat. Blows the biggest flames and shot gun sounding pops on over run from its meter long side pipe you will ever hear or see :)

Pics or video please :P

hahaha

hell yeah, i'd love to see konstecki's shove one of their test rods up the exhaust of that monster, maybe none of us would have to the test, coz the machine would cook.

lol

i don't mind taking one for the team, just need to get a yellow. :domokun:

In reality thou i shouldnt have to do an emissions test. It's pre 86 and the chev is supposed to be running on leaded fuel. Not my fault you cant buy it anymore.

Funny one day my daughter was following behind in her mums car and she asked "why is dads car on fire?" I'm sure the reply she got from the ex would have been something along the lines of "because your dad is an idiot" :banana:

Anyway i like it as it draws attention away from sports imports and puts it on SUV owners. Women in there Urban Assault Vehilces IMO are more of a hazard than me in my skyline.

i recently registered a 1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham first rego from importation .

Engineer sad it did not need im240 so i took it to pits and it passed easy

only prob was it had to have catalytic converters installed (400 Windsor running unleaded)

No testing facilities for 4wd's ay, will we all be up/downgrading to gtr's and rex's? ;)

the new stupid licensing rules they brought in are restricting me to take 3 hours of public transport a day to get to work rather then an hour drive...

A smart thing to do would be for the government to provide a few TAFE colleges with the equipment to do the tests then we could get it done for a very minimal fee, give some education to the students and get that stupid tick that the coppers are looking for on that sheet :(

That is actually a really good idea.

Then the government could benefit more from the cost of the testing every time a copper pulls out the Work Order book. And we as the driving public could benefit from the cheaper rates. They could also incorporate pit inspections and other pit related functions while teaching the next generation of drivers how a "Safe Car" should be. It would in a way be helping the battle against "Hoon Behaviour" by educating kids when they are young on why these things are illegal and unsafe.

Brilliant, now all we need is the DPI, and Local Government to endorse it and claim it as their idea and we are set.

got a bit off bad news today. have a mate trying to get outta a emissions test and had a phone call from the workshop doing it for him. he was told that he will have to do it and the testing will be carried out for another 6 months until this bill goes to parliament to get sorted out :). im not 100% on this as it is third hand but pretty sure of it. anyone else heard anything

I'd be getting the descision from the horses mouth as opposed to a workshop that is making money from the test

this workshop is not doing the emissions test, it was a workshop he took it to to get the sticker off

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
