Hey guys just want some advice/ ideas on the following mods due to just moving to Vic an not knowing where to get things done.

So I have a 34 sedan gtt and wanting to do the suspension, I was going to go with just a good set of springs and shocks due to being told that coilovers are illegal in Vic. Any know any goo suspension shops in the west?

Also need to do the rest of my exhaust system and was wondering to either get the 3" dump with screamer pipe, 3" bellmouth dump, or 3" split dump?

Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Rob :)

They are legal, keep you ride height above 100mm and you're fine.

If you want to get raped by the noise authorities and do what you want.

Keep it quiet with a nice flow.

3" turbo back will do you fine.

Ok just that I been told that coilovers are illegal due to being adjustable and affects the safety of the vehicle.

Not that I know of but if you want, stick to lowered springs and shocks for a peace of mind.

You mean to say you have a high flow cat and a 3" cat back exhaust...

Coilovers are not illegal, Skylines come with coilovers standard. If you are referring to height adjustable coilovers they are also not illegal. What is illegal, is a ride height being < 100mm at the lowest point of the chassis (including exhaust system).

Screamer pipes on the other hand, are illegal. The legal limit is ~90db and the factory system comes in at ~87db, so almost any aftermarket system leaves you open to EPA defects.

Not true, adjustable coil overs that can lower the car below legal height are illegal (have only heard of one person being knocked back on an rwc for it) there is a thread or part of a thread on here some where about it, there are only two brands that are legal, i cant remember which ones they are.

That being said the chances of being defected for them on the road is extremely minimal.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
