Tint that's too dark, a screamer, and 'not too low' but is 100mm.... Which is about the depth that the open class WTAC Winnig gtr runs at....

It's usually the easy to change and obvious things that can't be ignored that are hardest... Like dark tint and low. Surely you get the point after a 'few' different places say the same thing. you're asking someone to risk their operating license.

Sorry what I ment was window tint that is still legal and it is well over 100mm from the lowest point of the car (as apparently that's the rule?) and if I do lift it up change the wheels pull all the adjustable arms out source stock ones and do 100other things there still no doubt going to fail me on the screamer that are things that are a lot harder to change when I'm sure there's someone out there that would sign the car off as it is..

Sometimes those costs have to be factored into the 'cheap' mainland cars unfortunately.

Goodluck.

By the sounds of things, no mechanic would/should sign off on it as is and as stated, they would be risking their License to do so.

Sometimes you just have to play the game. :yes:

Dont just weld the screamer up, if you hit gate you will create all sorts of dramas as the gas will be pushed backward. This could damage the wastegate / turbo.

Get someone to extend it and put two flanges on it, so that it can be recirculated into the dump pipe, and removed. Cost you maybe $100

Oh no no I wasn't thinking of welding it up and if I did block it up I wouldn't even think about going any where near boost like just have it like that to drive to the inspection and drive home but I have a guy that is good with fab so I'll speak to him about plumbing it back in to the exhaust and make it so I can switch between plumb back and.

Best bet would be to get it plumbed back into the exhaust, I had it done a few months ago on my R32 due to the obnoxious noise when on boost and all the unwanted attention it caused. Cost me $200 to have done.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
