Got my first defect on friday night, the melbourne cops are up here at albury/wodonga at the moment so they actually/half know what there talkin about compared to the local cops. I got done for bov, boost controller, fmic and pod they didnt see the apexi power fc can you get done for that and i was lucky as i have no cat but my exhaust isnt too loud which is good :-(

Yes, you get done for having an aftermarket ECU..Affects emissions (same reason for a boost controller) and so are illegal in Vic, unsure if it is in NSW though..

Bad luck mate, but it was alright considering they didn't get you for the PFC or the cat (or lack thereof~)

its bullsh!t tho, correct me if im wrong or dont know what im talking about, we have better emmissions with a turbo than with a NA car... so if we have an aftermarkey ECU or boost controler we'll have the same emitions as them? or is it different emmitions all together?

No see the issuse with an aftermarket ECU is the fact that your altering the Air/Fuel. When most tuners chage your maps the smooth them out and generaly the car runs richer, especialy in high boost applications etc. When you alter the A/F your producing more gasses from your exhaust. Thats why it's an EPA issue.

My GTR has recently had two full inspections by the RTA QLD (Passed) and another one in the ACT in the last few months. Zorst is the only thing I changed to pass ACT. It's modded fairly well but is safe and passed the emissions test. However frightned if the CF bonnet is lifted by the VIC/NSW police. BoV's, Catch Can, C west wing, CF bonnett, EVC III, torque n drag controllers, pods, FMIC, PFC etc.

If a car is passed in other states whats the go on Random vehicle inspections interstate. I'd be classed as a smart arse if I reason that it's fine where I'm from. Do I go back to ACT or are you required to get it passed in the state which has the problem? Do the cops re-imburse the inspection fee's if they're wrong. Presenting an engineers cert help?

BTW - I drive it every day in Canberra and have not been harrased by the local police or RTA.

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
