looks so hectic mat! dont think mine will look that professional hah.

will still be good though :)

Haha thanks man! Only started so far! More to come... Compressor and airlines to go and possibly some A/C haha

AC is needed in mine...

its like an oven in the arvo.. so bad haha.

Yeah i am not sure if the cable to the shed is big enough to support it yet but a mate is a guru and is sussing it out for me :D We also need to hook up the pump to the 5000L water tank on the side of the shed that is just sitting there not being used!

Guys I need some help! The first time I drive my skyline at night and I've copped a defect :( they have written:

-uncovered pod

-height

-exhaust

-e85 fuel system

-modifications without an engineer cert

Firstly i don't even have an e85 system, I just have a surge tank and 044 in the boot, will this pass simply because it's not what they have written?

I have a airbox to replace the pod, and I have a new quieter exhaust solution that is waiting to be welded in.

Will it need engineers to pass? Or just fix airbox, exhaust and height? Anyone know what will happen with the fuel system? If anyone has stock 33 springs I can borrow it'll be amazing too. Pls help a brother out :( very devod

how much was the fine??

I believe any mechanic that does blue slips can pass you? so change it back and youll be fine? as for the fuel... just hope you got a good mechanic?

did you get an epa?

A very nice bloke named Adam Foster is helping me out. The cop didnt fine me, he was a nice man just doing his job I guess. Adams put on a standard airbox, legal exhaust and stock height springs that he has borrowed. The surge tank and fuel pump are removed so hopefully thats enough, I dont believe I got an EPA as that wasnt written on the defect notice.

Glad to hear he helped you out mate :thumbsup:

Okay I need some advice on what could be wrong with my car

It has a misfire that is getting worse and need to get it sorted

Started out only doing it when hot and would drive along fine until it missed ( sounded like the traction control working) and would come up with the check eng light on the dash

Has gotten to the point now that it will miss or just feel slow all the time but the check eng light doesn't always come on

I'm thinking plugs or coil packs but want to know for sure before spending money needlessly

Any ideas

Or anyone got some spare NEO coil packs I can try?

Coil packs are notorious for failing in our cars man! I did my factory set at around 120000km from memory... The splitfires have been good since then!

If you need to borrow some to diagnose mine are pretty easy to get out... Car should be back at my place over Xmas i hope!

I had a missfire since at high boost but that was the coil plug loom that failed due to excessive heat (Plugs went all brittle and fell apart) so check that at the same time.

yep if you need a locomotive that needs fixing im the guy to call hahaha.

yeah but the kits are lean toos, not free standing. so gotta wait till lysaghts open on the 6th before I can sort anything.

pretty annoying

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
