Seriously this thread is going from bad to worse.

Let me make this clear - TOMMYKAIRAS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER SEVS. If they were they would have to be listed on the SEVS register.

Those workshops bringing them in are technically breaking the law and risk losing their accreditation with DoTaRS if they are caught, and therefore not being able to comply anything. Yes I know lots of places are bringing in modded cars but the fact remains that it's illegal - I would be very nervous about people posting stuff on here listing my company's name if I was a RAW.

Oh and they are not nervouse about be listing their name, they approve of it for 2 reasons, One is it is good publicity and 2 is they are doing nothing wrong. But you seem to Know all so i am sorry.... :(

No see let me explain, if they are brought in as an R34 GT-t then they must be returned to stock for compliance. Part that are aftermarket are meant to be destroyed.

As it stands, it is common knowledge that there are workshops working their way around this by removing parts before compliance and putting them back on afterwards. This is a good thing for us importers, but if people get on here advertising this fact, then expect DoTaRS to shut it all down and find ways of making us all suffer.

In other words, keep you mouth closed or you'll ruin it for everyone!!

Thanks for speaking on behalf of all of the RAWS workshops, but i can promise you that by us Importing any modified Car, and putting it back to standard is totally leagal and within the guidelines of RAWS. It is actually stated that all modified coponents must be removed.

Now as far as what the owner of the car does with his Aftermarket Parts that have been removed (They do not have to be destroyed as some wrokshops will have you beleive or actually beleive themselves, as it conflicts with civil law of the coponent not actually owned by the RAW for them to destroy, we have been to court over this topic) is entirely out of the RAW control.

So thanks for the concern but please do not put anyone down or say they are breaking laws ect... until you know the facts, and even then it is not a good idea to put people down

:D

Joe the info I had was coming from other workshops themselves, so perhaps they also need to read up a bit more on the matter.

But hey, if what's happening is within the rules, then it's all good - great in fact (I'm planning my next car already!!). I wasn't actually putting anyone down - quite the reverse, I was concerned that you guys would get in trouble if people got on here advertising what was going on.

Good to know though - I won't feel so sneaky anymore! :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
