  1. Hey Sloane - best bet is usually joining some of the other car clubs on Facebook or be selective and locate which ones to go on - i.e. SMASA, JAFS, etc. Once you get a few listed others groups will then post other cruises and it's really pick and choose. Given you no longer have FB you can try the SMASA/JAF websites and see if they post anything. But these days its all on FB.

  2. Have done it - simply what Krishy wrote. Upgrade the front brakes, details of engine number etc. and done. Was no emissions test when mine was done - this was back in 2012. Mind you there wasn't any aftermarket bolt-ons either or defectable items on the car when it went through.

    Since then everything on mine has been engineered, but it's not just an RB25 anymore so isn't relevant.

  3. ....who told you that information? When on Unleaded was on 98 or if couldn't get 98 was on 95. Am now on E85 but that's a different story.

    Regarding economy - that all depends on your right foot and style of driving.

  4. Hey Snake - it was Saturday late afternoon/night. I was the white R32 Gtst (GTR front bar) at the front of the pack, with black R32 behind me...along with Mint Red Prelude, Golf GTi and Black hatch-back rex.

    Did see a hand out the window as we approached the round-about. You're car looked clean!

  5. Variety of answers. For mine it was regency and make sure have adequate brakes on the front that suit the weight addition - i.e. R33 front calipers etc., or 4-pot type-M R32 gtst brakes. That was from my experience. Though, you wouldn't want to keep the RB20 gearbox with an RB25DET under the hood...went through 2 gearboxes with the RB20, so chucked the 25-box in with the RB25.

  6. ^^^ don't feel safe with an engineering certificate - if police suspect somethig is illegal they will STILL defect you - their response is: defect first, then let Regency sort it out. I know of plenty of cases where police told people that their engineering cert is not worth shit. And of course this makes sense - you could have changed anything at all since the engineering cert to make the car illegal.

    True Andrew - thankfully been lucky enough to date with the high-mount etc. as is even when been pulled over police have been fine (obviously not doing anything stupid at the time).

    Good thing about the whole car being engineered is that done correctly it is lodged to the transport department along with everything on the car and it's in the database. Bonus being the engineering personnel doing it is well known by Sapol.

    As always, depends who pulls you over.....

  7. Any decent cop will defect you for it and you'll never pass regency without a full engineers cert with emissions test. You can make 350rwkw on a gts-t and > 400kw on a gtr with highflowed OEM replacements, technically not legal but unless they drop your intake piping and measure the compressor they will never get you for it. Afaik they never go to the above effort anyway. Unless you like doing turbo swaps for fun on the weekend imo this is the only way to modify a street car if you drive it daily and want to avoid defects.

    I've been lucky enough to be pulled over almost each time the cars been taken out and they look, but never said anything about it - luckily. However as mentioned the car is now engineered so the ring doesn't pucker up each time see the men in blue
