Ok guys I know this is probably a stupid question, but forgive me for my ignorance. Does the r32 gtst have a hole in the left inner guard, underneath the battery? I'm pretty sure that it was made for the fmic. Qld transport giving me a hard time saying that "I need to restore it to original manufacturer standards". Which makes no sense to me.

Any thought thoughts? previous experience with this

I would start by moving your battery to the right hand side like everyone elses.

And no there is not supposed to be a hole there.....and no the guy at QLD transport doesn't know what the f**k he is talking about because it has nothing to do with structural strength and does not effect the roadworthiness of the vehicle. Tell him to re-educate himself

Sorry I meant right hand side...lol If you stand in front of the car it becomes the left side....hahaha

That's what I thought Dan

My sister had to see Qld Transport to get a number of "defects" approved after an officer pulled her over in her R32Gtst. The front mount intercooler pipe came into the engine bay in the same spot as the GTR. As an engineer I simply prepared a letter for her essentially stating what has already been said. It will have neglible structural impact on the car. The fact that the GTRs have a hole in this location and on the passenger side there are more penetrations for the intercooler piping says it all really.

When I had my RB30DET mod plate prepared, the approving facility included the front mount intercooler installation as part of the description for the modifications.

they will say it has to be engineered (mod plated)

o.p. take your car to an engineer and get the hole mod plated

there is no code for a hole in a non-structural area. The only thing you can do is put it under 'Chassis Mod' but it's not the correct code for it.

And yes, before you ask...I have the code of practice here

Can anyone recommend an engineer, around GC or brissy that's not going to charge me a arm and a leg for their signature.

I need the hole certified once I get it reinforced.

Andrew - 0402293256 and tell him Daniel from Elite Racing sent you as he normally doesn't deal with public

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
