These have all been answered before dude. Learn to search, learn to spell too...its healthy.

Screamer pipes and any kind of exhaust air exiting before the last window is illegal (might need to be a certain distance past the last window, not sure, but inside the engine bay is definately illegal, no penalty, yellow sticker)

Pod filter you should be OK but some people have permits for them, need to be secured at 2 points.

FMIC requires a permit

18" should be ok seing as theyre not 2+ inches from factory, anything bigger requires permits, any adjustment of the total circumference of the wheel requires recalibration of the speedo.

Fibreglass bonnets are all good (as far as I know)

Exhausts - you need cats, high flows are illegal, and you need to keep it under 100dB, besides you dont want to keep it loud.

Oil Catch needs a permit

Height must bee atleast 100mm off the ground, at any point. They measure this with weight in the car, so keep it well above 100 to be on the safe side.

The bastards will defect your vehicle even if you have a mod permit.

Have a read of this CLICK ME, it's my personal experience with defects to date.

Keep it legal and get screwed over anyway, or do whatever you want and get done for something that you did.

It's your call.

The button up at the top right of the page maybe?

Anyway, why do you want a screamer pipe and a loud car?

my other skyline has a straight threw 3" turbo exhaust no cats nothing. and i had a leak on my exhaust manifold so the easiest way of fixing it without pulling my exhaust of completely was putting a screamer pipe or waist gate which i did..

my skyline i use daily has a 3.5 turbo back exhaust with a 3"dump pipe and a hi flo cat and i passes pits with it, in fact both my cars have been yellowed and ive passed pits and ii no there some illegal shit on them so thats why im asking wats legal and whats not

but to answer your question i just diss like driving a performance car that is quiet.

Leak on exhaust manifold, so you put a screamer pipe on?

That makes no sense at all buddy, unless you purely wanted to drown out the sound of the leak with the scream.

Im not going to fire up a contradiction war, but why a screamer? why not a split dump? just as much effort, and less chance of a yellow.

If "easy" and "quick" was the way to go, I'd have been be registered months ago, and had countless problems between now and then - it pays to take your time and put a bit of pride into things :ermm:

I highly doubt you passed pits with that kind of exhaust setup, inspectors arent like cops, they do actually know their shit most of the time.

Police can sticker you for anything if they want

even a ciggy butt in the ashtray is a yellow sticker offence (classed as a fire hazard)

u should really do research before u go buying cars

vehicle regulations

thanks for your input..

car was standard wen i bought it, ive modified it dont really give a shit about whats legal or not

my first car was a standard 32 and they yellowed me for nothing.

you can doubt as much as you want bro i have a straight through and they didnt say a thing about it, the only problem was it was too low and they let me of on the condition the car be raised

if i was to put a split dump pipe i may as well pull my whole exhaust out and fix the problem properly. but putting a screamer will do fix the problem just fine..

im really not fussed on what is legal or illegal, this post was purely just for my own general knowledge of what is aloud and what isnt.

i dont know anyone who would would want a quiet performance car anyway.

im a red p plater which means i get picked on irrelevant of what is legal or illegal on my car so or if ive done something wrong or if the pulled me over for no reason i really couldn't car less bout the f**king cops

Yet you made the title of the thread "Legal Not Legal?"

indeed i did.

like i said i posted the topic for my own "general knowledge" as i do not know the exact rules and regulations. doesnt bother me at all what is legal or not on my car tho. Im targeted being a RED p plater with a skyline unfortunately not the best of combinations

Buy yourself a Hyundai Getz and stop driving your Skyline. Obviously your intellectual is pretty much the same as a donkey.

Please let us know how much fine you get when you take your car to the pit and they find out that you've got a screamer

and a de-cat pipe. :D

    • Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.
    • Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?
    • Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.
    • Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
