i went over with a K&N airpod, but i also got away with some other stuff like a screamer pipe which is apparently quite illegal. it depends on what inspector you get but you can deifnately get permits for them as long as they are secured

so that beast 32 GTR is coming to perth then eh?!

get permits for everything so the cops cant get you for the obvious items, but if they really want to theyll go over your car and find something minuscule and stupid like a hairline crack in your exhaust or something stupid.

its $28.50 for a mod license which you can put 5 things on.

so after you go over the pits and get your plates etc. go back to the pits and say i want to get a permit for this pod filter, BOV or whatever. theyll do a few checks and issue you with the permit.

some things you cant get permits for like dodgey pod filters or dual trumpet rice-boy BOV's

I got a permit for my K & N, but thats about it (only mod as it is N/A );)

Simply done hey as everyone else says, when you go to register the car get the permits their and then, i got my mum to take my car when i got the canary, easier on older people. I didn't want to go anyway :)

if you have defect car ou should not even driving it simple as that but surely how the F**ck they ganna check hairline fracture for exust... what are they ganna use bloody X-rays to find that? as long as your is not over the top modified they are happy to issue permit on writing...

Inspector/engineers are not picky like cops cuz majority of cops dont know jack shit about cars and just pinn you for haivng 4 tires in your car if they wants to! or Being smart ass (that's different story!) :)

theres a big difference between a defected or yellow stickered car and an unroadworthy car

yellow stickers can be given out for pod filters, and BOV's and exhaust this doesnt make them unroadworthy though...

all you need to do is get a permit, or not drive like a tool. cos if they dont pull you over they cant check your car. but for $28 a permit is worth it as youre paying $50 every time you go over the pits to get a yellow sticker removed

moral of the sorty: get a permit!:)

haha settle was just exagerating and making a point that the coppers will pick you for anything they can get you for.

my mate had to take his skyline over the pits last week (bald tyres) and he said everything was fine bar the convex/cave mirrors which were on it (c-red hadn't changed them) but still got it licenced? and he told him to come under the car to have a look at the exhaust which had a crack in it but wasnt leaking, so he had to get that welded up. now thats bullshit.

I would have assumed that my car would have been licensed with the POD filter after it was brought into Australia. It was already installed at the dealership when first purchased, mine is a HKS item.

Of course they could have swapped an OEM item in when going over the pits!!!

Where can you get an engineers report from in WA anyway?

Hey Guys with all this permit talk for mods...

Stupid question: what about VIC? I mean is it legal to have pod filters and what not in Victoria? Like is it possible to get an engerneering certificate or something to pull out and show the cops its legal?

Also with wheel upgrades same sorta thing apply?

Matty (yeah another one!)

      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.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      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.
