Guys,

My car just got defective and i need to take it into Vic Roads for clearing it....part of the list is Air Filter...

Now, some says that we can have one mod, Air Pod or intercooler and some says that everything needs to be standard.....

i have clarified this with a mechanic that i can have air pod if my intercooler is standard, which it is....is that true???

i just need second opinion on this as i dont want to fail the test with Vic Roads....

Just for laugh....when i got pull over, the cop says that i should not have an intercooler on my car!!!!! i said its a turbo car and it need to have an intercooler....guess what his reply was???

NO, you shouldn't have an intercooler...i still cant believe it and still laugh to it till now!!!! i dont have anything against them as they are doing their job, but i think they need to know a bit more about cars if they want to pull someone over....dont you reckon???

Thanks guys :)

I'm not sure how VIC works .. but that seems abit harsh. For future reference just tell them that everything is factory standard .. and to take it up with Nissan if they have issue's. Has worked for me and some of my mates, *shrug* but that's in QLD / NSW

Clearing defects can be a pain, hang in there.

Standard intercooler in place - pod filters are ok as long they aren't oil based.

^ This.

If you do NOT have oiled pods, then I'd be contesting the defect to prove a point.

100% one intake modification is legal on a GTR as long as they are non-oil PODs.

if you have the bits just put the stock bits back on to clear the issue and get on with it

no need to contest it if you have the parts and its a a simple swap - or even borrow them

this..

why bother. just swap it back after n keep a copy of the code for the next cop that tries to defect you for it.

screw fighting with them, just because you fight it with one cop, doesnt mean the next cop wont know

There is a need to contest.

EVERY single incorrect defect, fine & otherwise should be contested.

If people stopped being such pussies and defended themselves - the courts would soon become clogged and the system would then be looked at.

People rolling over are the reason people keep getting reamed.

Any incorrect defect notice - I've taken to court. And will do so until i die.

Well said.

Why would you not contest it, if you get a defect for something that is legal then why wouldnt you contest it.

If I ever get a bullshit defect they will never hear the end of it.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
