So the last few weeks i have been getting my car ready for another attempt at Dickson.

Replaced all exhaust gaskets

Stuck on my English translation "engine tune up sticker", Tyre placard and Jacking procedure stickers.

Replaced Rotors/Pads

Printed of a scanned copy of the Wheel track measurements from a workshop manual.

1.They did not accept my print out of the track measurements because it was not a genuine nissan document, I did asked them to ring nissan and confirm and they said its not their responsibility. I asked if an genuine Australian workshop manual would be sufficient, But even thats not good enough! apparently the measurements might be different on the JDM/ADM workshop manuals.

2. showed my new engine tune up sticker and they were very surprised i actually found one, The oldest car inspector made the comment "whats that for"

So i passed on everything but my track measurement problem

It looks like i have to find a set of standard GTR wheels to get past their stupid game

Anybody have a set i can please use?

Or something 16x8+30 225/50/16

My heart goes out to you man. I just finished playing their games - and it was not fun. I think I had the difficulty on Expert at the rate I was hassled. But on the actual passing they were a little lenient - they all remembered me to which I thought would be a bad thing.

Anything GTR I won't be able to help - but all the best ! Thursday 9am seemed like a good time to go through haha

Thats bullshit Jimmy,

I had troubles like that on my engineers cert for my old 4wd but thats because it has to be what's stated on the engineers cert.

If the car is complied then its complied to ADR specs and a JDM manual means shit, and as long as the dont come out past the guards or foul on anything then thats ok, on a car with a tare weight of 1290+kg you are allowed 2in or 51mm bigger rims, also the track can't be narrower then factory.The maximum legal permissibile increase in the vehicle's track width in most states of Australia is 25mm and others 26mm. Most states subscribe to the National Code of Practice, which stipulates a maximum track increase of no more than 25mm.

Drove to Cooma and back, first decent highway trip in it, nice and smooth, no overheating, seems all good.

Popped out of 5th a couple of times, does this in third too, feels like the detent is worn or something. Maybe during the bodgy conversion from auto, the shifter hole wasnt cut right. must look closer.

Yes, Cooma Run = FUN! Thanks Mik!

Got my Magnaflow Muffler on, Love the look and the quietness.

Surpirisingly it took away all exhaust drone even though it's as straight thru as the Canon.

All flanged up so I can chuck the canon on anytime. ;)

They would definitely do the job, ill have a look around for another week and see what else may pop up,

MiK - what sort of exhaust do you have ?

Maybe you could come and have a look at what I have and see if your interested (bring wallet)

Being 32 either spares should fit. :whistling:

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
