That's fair enough tas180.  Is there anyone else who can compliance a r32 under the 15yr rule.  I only know of Gritthis, so if they are rude then i can go else where.

You don't need to get "compliance" on ANY 15yo vehicle, you only need a road worthy and your import documents. If you run into service tas about 4:55pm on a friday arvo I reckon you'd even be able to just reg it from your import docs :) Haven't tried that yet however...

Nah you can't do that. If a car has never been registered in Australia before(well under the 15 year rule) the only way to do so is to get a engineers certificate to show that the car meets Australian Design Rules. An r32 will only meet these standards if you convert the drivers mirror from convex to flat, Install a child restraint (for the baby seat) in the parcell shelf, install new seatbelts and replace the tyres if they are worn too much. Once it meets these standards it will be issued with an adr plate and a certificate provide to take to transport.

Hope this helps others and sorry to hyjack.

Griffo's definitely not rude, has helped me out heaps and saved my bacon a few times when I was doing my engine conversion.

Chris Tanner's custom work for any exhaust/intercooler + piping/plenum/catch can etc etc etc is also unbelievably good. Any work you need done he is your man - TOP QUALITY work at an excellent price.

Was that your VL at the Shannons car show? If so it was very nice!

Will be down in Hobart on the 29th to get my Power FC tuned at Griffths Auto, spoke to him up here durning Rally Tas and Targa when he was looking after a R33 GTR, seems to know his stuff & was very friendly.

Well had the datto's Power FC tuned yesterday by Dave on Po Automoive's dyno (great setup in an insullated room). Dave was fantastic and I learned heaps! Had a best run of 192 rwkw @ about 5900rpm & 14psi. Not to much of a gain at the top end (need that Optimax!!) but between 3000 & 5400 rpm the power curve fatted up by 20rwkw or more. On std boost it's even improoved fuel ecomomy to between 10 to 11 ltrs per 100km, it was 12 to 13 ltrs per 100km's with the std ecu. I thoroughly recommend him!

Nice work, I got a new intercooler coming soon, might have to get a tune down there when I get it on, atm I'm using 50 Litres for 200 kms, hahaha, shocking I know....

Sh*t! 200k's on 50ltrs scary, yeah, I reckon a good tune will fix that. What sort of cooler are you getting? Dave gave me some good idea's on what to try on the datto for some more poke. So it's time for some R & D.

Paul, you are gonna need a decent 'tunable computer' like what wogboy got, remember the Mines isn't programmable, best they will be able to do is adjust the timing and boost i guess.. an O2 sensor wouldn't hurt either buddy!

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
