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?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
