    Import rules are national not state based, and I'm pretty sure WA has not seceeded yet. If it does not have a compliance plate it came in under: 1. personal import 2. 15yo import (before it was shut down) 3. race rally import. if you do not know which scheme it came under, DOTARS who approve all imports will. Also WA's car rego department must know as well. 1 and 2 are eligible for full rego, 3 is not.

    ahh the modified tool thread! we have a very similar looking tool for rear o2 sensor on a gtr..just cut across the end to make it an open spanner as well
  3. Duncan
    yeah that's what i mean, it looked way too easy. but it is amazing how easily these and some other modern cars smash the barriers that used to define a "super quick" dedicated drag car. ANDRAs rules re license cage and chute look very dated these days

    not the same...cheap bearings and they don't pivot (although it looks like it, that is just the adjuster).
  5. Duncan
    the only thing to add....is go easy on the bashing if that is how you take them out...it is horribly bad for the bearings. Like Adam said one of those ball joint seperators (check out the cool tool thread) would be a safer way to do it.

    have you been converted to drag racing now? It looked exciting
  7. Duncan
    sounds good...hope to hear the results because the standard internals for 32 n1 turbs are horribly expensive. I will give these a go next time
  8. Duncan
    not at all...there is more to life these days than auto or manual. cvt system was very interesting once you got used to the car accelerating without the revs increasing

    ahh and I go thru 2 sets of upper arms a year too....I am not allowed to change from standard style to pivoting.
  10. Duncan
    the UAS ones may look expensive, but they are a step above in quality compared to pretty much any other option. these are the upper arms out of my race car, demonstrating why the pivoting arms are important

    +1

    yes the list is not complete.....you will need stickers! don't worry they are entry level type events. make sure the tyres have good tread if it includes wet events, and don't run brake pads that need warmth to work. Almost every event is over in 60 seconds and nothing has time to get hot

    not only auto, the one i drove was cvt

    lol weber revisits his mercedes days. what a hack
  15. Duncan
    fark. my driveway in the cold is just not setting the bar any more
  16. Duncan
    hahha not here mate....I only know of 2 in the country. and the other one has been off the road for a year
  17. Duncan
    agreed. I would be surprised if it was anything other than a small metric hex key. do you have the wrong size or just too short
  18. Duncan
    i know you should never lend your wife or your tools...but you can use if you need ben

    i agree it looks like its been spraying on the driveshaft, but it can still be engine oil from the filter. that is most likely, but there is also a diff oil seal at the end of the driveshaft that might be leaking.
  20. Duncan
    nice....who wouldn't want a place to themselves to thrash all day! where was it?
  21. Duncan
    what is it, power steer fluid, diff oil or engine oil most likely just oil leak from an oil filter change, almost impossible not to spill oil on top of the diff. step 1 as always is degrease it all and see if the leak returns
  22. Duncan
    that's effectively what I'm doing, just don't leave the car in IGN unless you are about to start it as the fuel pump will always be on.
  23. Duncan
    ouch...hopefully not too bad. I would suspect rear wheel alignment first, was it checked before and if so what was the toe? Or even better what was the toe after the event? The number of these cars being hustled safely around tracks says there is no basic issue across the model, so need to look for something bent or loose I think.
  24. Duncan
    sorry, to clarify that....the ECU just cuts power after 5 seconds of priming or if the engine stops. It is a good feature but a switch is enough.
  25. Duncan
    yeah true I guess, but it's a race car. I just earthed the relay and don't leave the car on IGN too often. Alternatively considering yours is ground up rewire, just earth the fuel pump relay through a dash switch so you can control pumps on or off.
