some of the Euro cars on full howl would probably receive a letter if cops thought it was a Jap car. Seen some Maserati's boot it, as well as some Ferrari's, noisey shit... just a different note.... but decibel wise i wouldn't imagine there would be much in it compared to an aftermarket exhaust on a turbo Skyline.

Shit, some of these cars have V12's.... what you need are some of the Euro boys to get letters, the dudes on like $200K+ a year, if those sought of ppl are pissed off, shit happens...

Ah.... just looking at what K posted up.... no ECU, only 1 intake mod, no boost controllers.... WTF?? I didn't know that, and looking at what most ppl have done to their cars?? :confused: - looks like garages don't seem to care as they are happy to put all this stuff in our cars...

So does all this mean that those harley bikes and BA turbo falcons with the OFFICAL exhaust upgrade are going to get done by the EPA as well as my pride and joy?????

Saw a P Plater driving a FERRARI the other day :) And a few other P platers in Supras later on.. just lovin the school holidays :

I've heard QLD are more lax, for eg you can have both a Pod filter & intercooler legally... apparently they don't really pull over imports.. is that true?

Why don't you guys just get an engineers cert for all your mods? Or at least most of them..? It's cheaper than actually buying the mod in the first place, right?

with the amounts of canaries/epa's being handed out...your best bet is to invest in some stock gear which goes cheap you can pick it up from the forums (stock exhaust/bov, rip out PFC etc) and stock up your car for a while until the heat blows over! At least you can drive around without getting defected and save up some cash.....who knows maybe i'm just unlucky with the canaries i've copped way too many and enough is enough....i'm sick of the fkn cop lights in my rear view mirror

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
