Hi All,

Just a heads up for everyone who is doing, or going to do mods on their cars. This might effect the RB25/26/30 combos we'd all like to do, as well as RB into 200SX, etc, etc....

But that's just the tip of the iceberg, fuel systems, exhausts, chassis strengthening, the list goes on.

Have a read & bear in mind that it's not law yet, it's just a draft (from what I've been told). But it is an indication of things to come......

EDIT: While I'm not completly opposed to rioting or blocking the pollies in parliament house with our cars..... You can express your outrage to the following people:

2.1 Choice of replacement engine - The power and/or torque of the replacement engine should not exceed the capaicty of the vehicle driveline.

There goes your RB30DET with an RB20DET gearbox.

2.2 Replacement components such as camshafts... engine management systems, exhaust systems, etc. are not permitted unless it can be demonstrated that the ehicle continues to meet the appropriate gaseous and noise emmission standards.

Note: the fitting of NOS injection systems is not permitted.

There goes PFC, most exhausts, cams, probably cam gears, unless emmissions tests are still passable. That also seems to say that removing your nos bottle is not longer acceptable.

very worrying, anyone wanna attempt a simplified version, i wanna put a 26/30 in my gts-t or something of the sort how will this affect me? can it still be done if (when) this is passed? im so gonna protest if it does, australia is becoming the retirement village of the world. fark florida off come to australia.

edit: ps. this is quite irritating, wats wrong with a bit of good clean modified fun, honk if your as upset about this as i am, although alot of it is nothing new, the cams etc. dribble is greatly troubleing

If worse comes to worse We could always gather our cars & park them around Parliament house, starve 'em until they get rid of all the poorly researched bandaid laws concerning modified & imported cars :D:)

Is this still in the draft stages ie: just a proposal

or is there actual legislation being put through on this? can anyone comment on this?

I am planning on buying an r34 GTT in a year's 1/2 time, if those laws are put in place may as well just save up a few more years & buy a GTR :

If you ask me the government should tackle the big issues: huge carbon fibre wings on excels

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
