Hey guys need to secure my two pods in my gtr just wondering what you have all used? i have two pieces of metal but i think they would be to hard to bend and what have you. Does anyone have anything they have picked up from bunnings or something i can use? I have a rough idea so iam thinkin along the lines of very thin Mallable metal from the screws on the pod to the chassis.

Oh any pictures also would be great!

Cheers

Not a GTR but in my GTST I just used like an 'L' bracket and screwed it into one of the stock air box holes

I'm pretty sure the Apexi power intake induction kit or whatever its called for the GTR's, they have 2 x 'L' brackets - I'm sure the ones on my cousins car do

Do what bubba did - go to Bunnings and get some metal and bend it up :action-smiley-069:

Had a small sheet of 1.6mm ally, marked up a couple of strips, used the jigsaw to cut them, bent the ends in a vice and drilled some holes. Worked well enough to pass the pits :whistling:

Ssounds good bubba, where did you get that alloy? Bunnings do it?

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
