Yeah that ^^^^ could have ended up SO much worse than it did!

funny how Mum's body is so much better than the daughter's too huh.... Kojak biting the big one cracks me. I know I shouldn't laugh, but hey.... they all survived :)

Heya all :)

Anyone looking for a crew member to help out at High Country?

The guys I usually help out have other obligations and won't be attending.

Spanner experience on mainly Jap cars, lots of rotary experience, prefer modern.

Currently working on Radicals and Lotus' but spent time solely on Nissans (GTRs 32/33/34) and Mazdas (RX/MX5).

If it whooshes, I can spanner it.

I like cider and KFC tower burgers.

Check http://www.tarmacsolutions.com.au/ and follow the Facebook link at the bottom of the page for further info.

Sydney team preferred.

PM/email if you're interested.

Mark :)

Update big guy? Some pics? Something..... anything!!!!

Not much to update Woo, been spending too much time working and skiing. Have lost about 100hrs trying to get some weight out of the thing! First 30kg was easy, but spent 4hrs last weekend for a 2.5kg gain..

Still looks the same, and will run like that. Fitting intercooler, bigger brakes, some spring/swaybar upgrades and tighten up the diff. Besides that and the diet will be pretty much as I bought it. Out of time for anything more, but if THC goes well then round 2 of upgrades for TT13. I have attached an engine bay picture to keep you happy, not that exciting really

Thanks mate :)

What pogo sticks is she running and is the under bonnet colour factory or has it been painted race-spec silver?

Will you get a chance to give her a run in anger prior to heading down?

I spotted that one on MY105 and got a bit misty in the duds, would be a good, albeit mildly expensive, base car.

So, importing a late model left hook Porsche from Europe specifically for tarmac rallying and planned to be on rally rego or even Tassie "special interest" rego..... IS LUXURY CAR TAX payable?

Can't seem to get a definative answer on this yet? Anyone here got knowledge?

Weren't some dudes importing them from the States cheap and having the engine/trans removed and shipped separately to avoid something like this?

Sorry can't help on your actual question, its a very open for debate question though.

Car is well and truly over the LCT threshhold.

Not heard that Timmy?

Possible exemption

Below is an extract from a conversation;

The definition of ‘car’ for LCT purposes is broad and covers basically any road vehicle. The only potential avenue to avoid LCT is the fact that a ‘car’ does not includeracing and rally cars that are not road vehicles and cannot be registered for use on public roads in any country in the world. These racing or rally cars are designed for use only on rally or racing circuits.”

SIGNIFICANT work would need to be done to ensure the thing couldn't be registered "in any country in the world"... and who would be the judge of that?

Does it just need a cage installed? The engine removed? Cut into little pieces?

Keith Johnstone has just bought a 996 GT3 for a rally car and bought it from the UK or somewhere, don't know if it was already caged or what. Maybe if you can get in contact with him or Pete Nunn they might be able to shed some light.

Further to that, if its a left hooker, it wouldn't really be road registerable would it? So it wouldn't be eligible for LCT?

Would CAMS be able to help you? Maybe talk to your State Club and Development Officer?

Keiths is a damaged GT3 RS with a factory cage.... and is probably a '20t excavator'. His 944 is a left hook, and rego'd as SI

I think there is some trickery you can do with how you pay for it to get round LCT. Buy the 'car' with 1 cheap payment, and they pay separately for the parts. If it's all done o/s it's hard to prove the price

The yanks have really weird rules, and they have to dismantle cars, and bring them in as 'parts'

Edited by sav man

That race car rule is why 911 GT3 Cup's are so well priced from new, because an undertaking is made on import by PCA that these are race cars and not eligible for rego. Under the federal import approval of the Panno as a rally car (to suit SI rego requirements) it will identify it as rego eligible under state delegated authority…

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
