Hi all,

I have heard that a new rulling has been passed that may well make roll cages illegal in street registered vehicles. The guy that told me this is an engineer that actually does the approvals so its not bullshit. He needed to read some new paperwork aparently and I havent checked back with him yet.

The law MAY even be back dated so cars that have approved cages may have problems. Does anyone know anything about this?

The only way around this may be to get the vehicle approved under Individually Constructed Vehicle rules or hotrod rules.

I really hope this isnt the case because it certainly isnt going to keep very fast modified cars off the street, its just going to make the very fast modified street cars more unsafe.

Cheers,

Ian

Hey dude. :D

To tell the truth i dont know. but if thats happening to QLD will also effect other states quickly? i.e WA?

ive seen so many street imports on the roads with rollcage's and i know they want be happy to hear

something like this. :(

I spoke with my engineer again today and he is going to try call Brisbane head office for QLD transport again soon about this and other rule changes. But aparently for the moment they may still be legal.

The problem has come about due to some new idea about standardising all the laws and regulations accross all states. WA and SA will be really pissed off no doubt, as their rules are the most relaxed in australia. I think an un-armed NOS system can be installed in street cars out there, where as in QLD if they find a solenoid or nosel your screwed.

Does anyone else know anything about whats happening?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
