The Sa Wasteland

[Madaz]

if it involves a pm it mustve been a fair whack.

got a clutch, now i need it fitted, recommendations/prices?

my mate shannon got his fitted by a local guy to me with a hoist in his shed, and there is also Just Jap @ jacobsen cress. they do excelent work great rates and i just had my water line replaced from the turbo with them from me

Thats cos you dont have a front diff sitting right under your oil filter, and you have skinny little arms

it would mostly be hard due to your fuel rail and plenum being right over the top

HID kit #2 rocked up today (for the tow car hehe) as well as my oil cooler / filter relocation kit

angry group buys FTW

[RubyRS4]

this is the cooler/relocation kit that i got (not using the relo kit cos i already have one).

HKS rip off, speedflow lines

$239

Question:

Braided lines are considered defectable by the police right? So what happens if you get Pirtek to do the lines. I'm sure their standards exceed AS and therefore meet ADRs if used on motor vehicles?

[heslo]

Reuben, I passed Regency with my oil cooler installed with Speedflow lines and Earls fittings... they didn't have a problem so long as it's mounted correctly and the lines aren't tracing all over the engine bay (ie. nice and tidy)

I'm sure Pirtek would do the lines also

[PREISS]

I went thru regecny with my oil cooler and braided lines a few weeks back.

[D_Stirls]

It's braided brake lines that they consider a defect unless they are made by a certified workshop that has ADR compliance.

[RubyRS4]

What about braided lines on a turbo, even if made by Pirtek?

[Tangles]

My turbo oil line is braided from Pirtek. The water line is stock.

My auto oil cooler line is braided from Davies Craig.

My brake lines are braided from Maltech.

^^ this work exceeds stock standards so I cant see how its possible to be classed ultimately as illegal modifications

thats the thing, Ive got a massive list of mods but could only count a couple that need to be engineered. doing that atm, pretty much.

[RubyRS4]

POLISH SAUSAGE!

[D_Stirls]

nothing wrong with getting other braided line made up by Pirtek, the only one that they can't do are the brake lines and i'm pretty sure that if you ask them they will refuse to do it anyway. If you get another place to make up brake lines and they don't put the ADR sticker on them then they are illegal and you will fail an inspection.

Here's my oil feed line the Pirtek made up;

[SLED]

Hence why (as radical as it is) my bike is completely ADR approved.

As much as I've been tempted to remove certain stickers for show purposes (see below), I haven't or else they are no longer approved brake lines.........they could then be anything!

[RubyRS4]

Don't suppose anyone's got banjo bolts for the front R33 calipers lying around, or know where I can get them (most wreckers prob won't part with them)?

Wanna fit the 4 pot calipers and ditch the 2 pot ones.

Thanks Pete. Was going to drop in to Nisswreck on Saturday if I have no luck with the brake mob on The Parade today. While I'm out there, I'll swing past JMS. Going to lunch shortly to do all that.

so ive found out that my engine in my car is from an R32 GTR V-Spec and was purchased from Autotech of all places , and had 80,000kms on it at time of being swapped into my car which in actual fact means its done over 100,000kms , never been serviced and had the speedo in the half cut wound back.

[jrm]

lol. yeah i heard about it around then LOL gotta love corporate email... im glad that news of important things sweeps adelaide quickly

As someone who moved here from interstate, it constantly surprises me how tiny Adelaide is - especially with stuff like this. You find out that your neighbour knows a guy you work with, or that some guy you met on the internet knows a friend of yours, or ... the list goes on .. It boggles the mind

[heslo]

How you go about finding all those details Mitch?

[r33 chris]

something bad happends to you every day hey mitch

something bad happends to you every day hey mitch

Been thinking the same..

[RubyRS4]

Nene has some serious real estate.

A project I'm working on at the moment, and I found this:

"Nene Valley". Not far from "Blackfellows Caves"!

Ah ... back to work.
