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.

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.

you can pull your plugs out and see if they look burnt/f**ked up.

also an overall inspection of the coil packs and loom.

shit job on a standard gtt

Your the leco so you should do that :)

I hear this morning you got you delivery as well

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

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
