got advised when ordering the restrictors today from highoctane that they wouldnt run them in a 25det vct head

I told them how most of you guys are blocking off the rear feed and running one only up the front

and that my plan was just to run one in each however they still didn't like the idea

I'd really like to hear from anyone who's had them fitted for over 12mths with no dramas

Im fairly sure I'll have no drama's as a mates rb20 does three laps and fills his 600ml catch can over and over again

so seems like theres plenty of flow in the rb's

there not hard to fit.

get a soft punch, slightly smaller then the restrictor.

tap the standard restrictors down into the block,

and then carefully tap the new ones in on top of the standard ones.

done.

just because he is a mechanic, dont assume he knows everything.

past experience is worth 100x more then a educated guess.

keep that in the back of your mind and you will be fine.

If anything dosent look right, post it up on here and someone will help you thru.

when your putting your motor together and your keen to get it going,

dont guess / rush on something your not sure of, cause it could cost you dearly in the long run.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
