LOL. does anyone else think its funny we have to know rocket science to own a import.

I mean its getting outa hand. We have to know the ins and outs of everything. We will have to know the name of the person on the production line in Japan who fitted the ash tray soon.

People say they are lucky when they get pulled over and just warned. I say its unlucky, Cant I just drive to work etc without being pulled over and hassled?

What about the people that have just bought an Import. Some people honestly wouldnt know what a turbo timer is. , They get pulled over and the officer will tihnk they are just some smart ass punk.

Interesting.

Isotta, momo, monza autotechnica (they also stock car specific adr rails too), and a shitload of others now... few years ago it was only momo.

Most seats nowadays come with ADR approval (all of jjr range for example), however the rails is where youre stuffed.

For a 2 door you must have reclineable seats unless its registered as a 2 seater. For a 4 door it can be either as long as its ADR approved with ADR approved rails.

I asked the regency inspector last time i went through :(

Funny how when i mentioned a roll cage i was given a list of 5 things that needed to be done, none of which had anything to do with the quality of the cage installed. For all they cared I could have gotten my dog to weld it in.

Standards = FAIL

Thanks for that info :(

Too true. When I had a cage installed in my 1600 I had a massive debate over the stupid $1200 charge for a chassis test, to prove the roll cage improved (minimised) the flex of the chassis. I argued its quite obvious that a roll cage would improve the its rating on the chassis test. Ended up tracking down an engineer who had done just the test to the same vehicle and same 4 point cage.

It was like saying "we need you to pay $1200 to prove those Brembos improves the braking of your vehicle". Its kinda bloody obvious isn't it? Why do I need to spend lots of cash to prove how stupid your request is?

faxed off my application to modify a motor vehicle just after lunch...see how we go....what needs to be done...shouldnt be too much really seeing as in std N/A form...a good RB30e will punch out around 110-118kw..and my turbo version is only pumping out 141.0kw at the moment

Might be a week or two before you hear back. The list of requirements will come via snail mail, and you'll have 12 months to carry them out.

the vehicle standard dudes tol me the other day that you can have a fixed back seat as a drivers and a reclineable for the passanger in a two door car. they also told me to put any questions like that forward in writing and they will reply in writing.

Good news for me, fixed back drivers, reclinable passenger

^^ logic tells you thats bullshit, the drivers seat is reclinable from the factory so that passengers can get in and out! lul

dont shot the messenger, champ. feel free to put it to the test before you call bullshit.

not shooting the messenger at all, perhaps you misinterpreted where that was aimed. ie, not at you.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
