Hey guys and girls,

I did a search and noticed a few of the other state sections have a stickied thread for this, but couldnt find anything in WA.

Basically people just post up things that they need to borrow or things they can lend to other people in order to pass the pits. Not saying this should be an alternative to getting permits for mods, just for cases like mine, where the previous owner of the car removed some factory items which i now need to pass the pits.

So if people find this thread useful then maybe a mod could sticky it.

Cheers,

Martin

So ill get things started, would anyone be able to lend me their factory rubber pedals? When i bought the car, the owner had removed the accelerator rubber and replaced it with one of those crappy, cheap Malz brand pedals. I have since installed Isotta racing pedals, but inspector at the pits told me i need to restore them to the factory rubber ones.

Can anyone help me out?

Cheers,

Martin

lol sticky this thread..

pedals are legal but they cant be all metal they have to have decent amount of rubber grip on them.

See that's what i thought and what i was told when i bought these ones, they have plenty of rubber on them, but the inspector said i need to restore them to factory

cant help with pedals

but i have available for loan

Mods - with the amount of people being stickered these days for rediculous things such as "your tyres/rims are too big, your pedals are illegal", it would be a great idea to sticky this thread. It will become damn helpful, not only for those who need to get their car over the pits, but also for people who may need to test a part, i.e. coil packs may be playing up so someone might want to borrow some to test.

Sticky sticky sticky

+1 for stickey.

Also have stock parts if anyone needs to borrow them.

1x stock bov

1x stock air box moded to fit around front mount cooler piping

1x stock intercooler

all stock cooler piping

1x stock airbag steering wheel

1x exhaust silencer that slids inside your exhaust tip

:blush:

for the guys in the south, i got

set of stock rims with reasonable tyres

set of stock springs

set of stock injectors

non m spec stock front bar (slightly modded)

stock exhaust but needs a little bit of repair (small welding job)

stock air box

stock ecu

Hey guys this sounds like a good thing to do, though im curious.. what happens if say you get caught, have to go over pits with everything all back to stock standard, then put all the "illegal" stuff back on, then get yellow stickered again. do they keep a record? do you get in trouble? or just do it over n over again?

Cheers.

    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
