Ive had a quick search through google for Mercedes Compliance shops and cant really find any info...

My cousin has been driving around a pretty rare (Merc dealer told him there are only about 11 of them in the country according to the Mercedes DB) 190E AMG Cosworth. Hes just bought a Dodge Charger and wants to offload it... it doesnt have a compliance plate and was imported years ago from Honkers.

Hes selling it for 5k to my Aunty and Uncle and they want to get it road registered as its an awesome little car... can any compliance joint do it? or will it have to go to a specialised merc compliancor? Is the process any different from jap imports

when i bought my r32 gtst back in the day, i bought it from a place in chadstone called "Chapmans" near the corner of warrigal rd and dandenong rd, the actual workshop was in a side st called Neerim rd, he was an importer/mechanic/car salesman, i didn't have the best experience's with him on a personal level so just beware, i thnk the main reason was i was fairly young at the time.

anyway, he had heaps of mercs in the place, and as it was a compliance centre i doubt all of them were aus delivered.

i havent been passed for quite some time and i don't even know if their still operating, however you could try and get the number and give them a call, he should be able to answer your question.

Drools! One very very nice vehicle. Took my brother to see one of these back in the UK. Only seen one here and that was parked on Burke Rd, Camberwell a couple of years back with the plate CSWTH I think.

Oh and in answer to the ques, I think it has to be a certifed complier to ensure everything is done correctly and within the law but could be wrong.

Bah - the Evo 2 was where it was at.

None of the other drug dealers would even talk to you unless you had one of these babies...

Best time in the summer to go, August. Was there a few years back and it is amazing. To swim in an open air pool in 30 degree sunshine yet see snow on the mountains above you. Superb memories. :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
