ADR25 (anti theft steering locks) states... "ADR 25 requires that the normal function of the engine only occurs when the ignition lock is in the engine on position"

in other words if you can remove the key and the engine runs it would be illegal

this is the closest thing to a definetive answer I have found

however most pit inspectors dont seem to mind so I wouldnt worry

I wonder if you could argue that the engine shutting down after 45 seconds automatically is not 'normal function of the engine'? Probably not, but it'd be better than going... "oh" :(

When I took my car over the pits I left mine running by accident and the inspector told me he would of failed me because of that but he was feeling generous that day and let me off. :rant:

So if your going to the pits just turn it off to be on the safe side

I dont see how leaving your car running and walking away is illegal... might be silly to do but not illegal... the police do it everytime they pull you over so what is the distance you can be from the car?? i know that is padantic but please dont say things are illegal unless you are 100% sure on the law.

i dont know if it is or not just saying my 2cents.

i think the reason its illegal is because it is then an insurance liability, walk away with it on someone jumps in you claim...all coz ur silly, that way it being illegal you cant claim= same money for insurers... im just assuming here

But anyways, TT's arent that neccessary unless you take ur car to the track. On the streets, u only really need 30 seconds of turbo timing, u could just leave ur car idling for 30 seconds while u grab all ur stuff.

manual turbo time lol

turbo timers are just wankery really. Turbo technology has come pretty far. You would have wanted to be going pretty hard before you started considering leaving your car on for any duration of time. Just a "look at me" thing leaving your car on for 45 sec - anything over a minute, when you have just driven anywhere on the street is generally over kill, unless for some reason you have been on the limiter the whole journey why bother...

Oh and what car did the police commissioner guy have?

Ross I'd guess at an XR6 turbo...

I think the rule is pretty much the same as radar detectors, not illegal to have just illegal to use :P But as said they are mostly wank factor anyway, but nothing wrong with 10/20 seconds if you really want to be on the safe side. My old 33 didn't have one in the 4 1/2 years I owned it & I didn't have any issues, I just left it idling while I sorted my shiz

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
