adzmax, i dont think the height of the gt-wing is an issue,maybe how wide, is. Best is check out with the guys at the pits,and maybe even get a permit for it(which is the best way)

cops wont care wether it is carbon fibre,aluminium or even fibreglass, so best to get a permit

Adzmax,

Don't quote me 100% but last I heard all cars manufactured after a certain date (i think 1989) have to have a brake light above the bootlid (ie included in the wing or in the rear glass)

I'm not sure how this rule is applied to imports though.....

As far as I know the rule is an ADR so yes it would apply to all states......the upper edge of the boot is fine......I think the rule says the car has to have a 'high level' brake light so I guess any posi above the std brake lights....

I'm with Muz on that one, all 34's are complied / rego'd without any modification or addition of a brake light any higher than stock offering.

Adz: I have test driven a 34 GTT that had a GT wing on the back which was already complied but I am not 100% certain whether that means it is deemed ok though.

Ah ok, as most of you know the lights in the top of the bootlid, not the wing so i really dont know. Who could I check it with? I remember one of my old friends had a silvia and took the wing off but had to replace it because of the light so maybe 34's are ok?

o Any object or fitting, protruding from any part of the vehicle in a manner likely to create the risk of bodily injury to any person;

o Any component, feature object or fitting on the vehicle whose design, construction and/or condition and the manner in which it is affixed, is likely to create the risk of bodily injury to any person;

o Any bumper bar which does not have its ends turned towards the body of the vehicle to a sufficient extent to avoid any risk of hooking or grazing any person;

I far as I know... if it come into the country and is complied with modifications... then it is fine for the road, any modification made within Australia need permits / engineer certificate!

I don't know about wings though :D

As R31 Skyline Chick has posted... aslong as you're not going to slit some unsuspencting pedestrians throat, it should be fine :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
