all i did was fit a metal plate to the top of the panel filter...after a bit of trial and error found out that if you drill 19 10mm holes in this plate it will restrict the air flow to approx low 130kw at the wheels... this was tested on a dyno and i wrote up a special sheet listing all this information listing the normal power output of the skyline and then stating my new power output and the weight of the car etc then i showed some calculations and got the owner of the dyno place to sign and stamp the form etc etc made it all official and sent it into the insurance company..

How do you get a higher no claim rating if you don't have comprehensive insurance?  Or do you have it on another car?

i have a rating 2 on my daewoo but i havent had it for a year so i have to wait for that to be up...

turtle - yeah 3rd party is about all im going to get until next year... by then i should have it setup how i like it.

akeenan - 130 at the wheels? thats about what a stock R33 puts out anyway... i think one of the guys last time we went to a dyno day was only puting out just over 130rwkw and he had a s-afc, exhaust, pod and bleed valve. which will still make it too powerful.

You guys are wasting too much time. If you're that bloody worried about the legal aspects, go and get a non turbo for now. They still go better than the average commonwhore (not to mention look shit loads better), insurance with be cheaper, and they're P plate legal. Then when your off ya Ps, sell it and get a turbo.

Remember if the car is modified and certified to have less than 125kw per tonne, theres nothing stopping you from changing it back once you get the all clear. If you were pulled over or had a stack and they found mods that make the car go faster (instead of slower), your stuffed basically.

ok

well lets

officially the r33 gts-t on factory settings runs at 187kw right

but if you tested it

it wouldn't run directly 187 kw right?

prolly run about 160-170

so it would be legal then.

and witht he boost controller settings. would insurance accept that bcos u can easily just tune it back up hehe so its a bit dodgy but i guess you don't tell them that.:D

Dude i got a bov on my GTS-t but i also hav the stock bov on as well so that if i ever get pulled over they notice the stock one on. I also hav a blitz one place further down near the pod filter and its quiet but hey at least it does its job. With insurance im on third party fire and theft wit just cars and im on rating 5 so im just gonna wait till i get a better rating and go from there ! Or if i get a job go for full comp.

With gettin a GTS-t for your p's dont dude, im glad i had a shitbox to begin wit otherwise peer pressure kicks in and u start doin stupid things next thing u know u got 2 demerit points left and $500 worth of damage to your ride. Get some 80's rwd car so u know what oversteer is and how to compensate for loss of traction in the rain.

I got a 85 corona wagon for my first car and i still got it and use it as my daily driver and recently i got the R33 GTS-t and now when i wanna start work on the 33 i got a back up at least ! But like someone else said its up to u in the end but be careful dont blow it all on one car make sure u got a back up always. And yes im wit MCCR r u amased that i hav some intellect !

does anyone here have BOV in their skyline?

people are telling me they are illegal in vic

BOVs are illegal if they dont vent back to the exhaust. I dunno why... its filtered, CLEAN air :confused: . The other thing is they must be quiter than 98dB (like everything else on the car).

Bov's vent back to the intake. Wastagetes vent back to the exhaust. Both are illegal if they vent to air. BOV's if they vent completly to air in most cases make the car run extremely rich and cause higher emmissions and back firing, thats the part they don't like.

BOV's and wastagtes including vent back ones are not allowed to exceed the standard DB levels, but i don't know how they measure that. (how far or angles)

Personally I think the BOV noise is crap, sounds heaps better venting back if you have a big rampod intake (Note there illegal too) If you don't care and want the best wank value noise get an external wastgate and vent that externally via a screemer pipe.

:D

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
