hi all

New to this forum discussions - and recently back to Perth.

Appreciate this is a skyline forum - but I need help please - for a GtiR

Looking to get an interstate club rego car registered here..

- the key non standard items are :-- - oil cooler; front mount intercooler (now relocated to the front); and larger injectors and fuel pump

 

Could you please help me by pointing me to any discussions on this thread.. Further, any help is appreciated

 

thanks in advance

Oil cooler is a non-issue.

FMIC should not be an issue in WA.

Larger injectors are not technically legal anywhere in Australia, as they imply a "modification of an emissions control system". And essentially they imply that the ECU has been fiddled with/replaced, which is the same situation.

If there's no obvious sign that the engine management has been altered, you could just try your luck. I would recommend that you just contact the WA roads dept and ask them what the process is for transferring interstate rego'd cars is, and then once they tell you that, mention that it is on club reg and ask if that means anything different, and then find out what the inspection requirements will be.

You really need to know what the basis of the car being on club reg now is. Is it because it is problematically modified and the owner put it on club reg to sidestep the rego process? Or is it legitimately just an occasional use car on club reg to keep costs down? Club reg is not supposed to be abused to get around the rules, but it has been done plenty.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
