Well you can't have it on the pillar, on the dash above the steering wheel, behind the steering wheel on the column or below the dash where your legs are, as these are all 'crash zones'.

Legally, just throw it on the centre of the dash like what some HSV's or FPV's have... That's legal. Otherwise you'll get hassled.

mines on top of the steering wheel column in front of the dash but not obstructing the cluster. Been through regency 3 times with it, no problems. even had one inspector shake it to make sure its bolted down...

passed relatively trouble free. only faults were the seatbelts not retracting properly, but he was happy with those because they still locked when he yanked on them.

and the windscreen washer which worked perfectly when i checked everything this morning didnt work come inspection time, but the inspector put that down to water restrictions. :domokun:

dude was a f**kin champ.

he laughed at the boost gauge defect, but the reasoning he gave for the wheel defect was pretty sound. apparently people have a habit of taking to their wheels with a drill press to make them fit, and considering some of the calls ive had about my wheels, im not going to dispute that.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Hey guys, Purchased and drove up new wheels from Vic last weekend. Car never been registered in Aus before. Only thing was aware of was pod filter which reverted back to stock. Went to get blue slip in western sydney. Everything with car fine (compliance etc) and knocked back for coilovers. Was told illegal and need engineering cert. Called the certifier they recommended and was told at min $1000 to certify them. I was then told HP can STILL defect you even with them certified. All this was news to me. Is this just a case of deal with pay the $1000 and run the risk? Kind of nuts given the amount of people running with coils I know of. No one I know has OEMs to use to pass, either.

      Welcome mate. Best Stagea is best Stagea. How is it driving a correct hand drive vehicle driving on the right? The Japanese do the opposite here and they've made parking boom gate ticket things on both sides to cater for LHD and RHD cars, as there's so many of them (mostly German but there are quite a few American cars too).
