i dunno whats legal but i have mine mounted on the left and ive had many cops look at my car and not say anything about it :rofl:

i think its got to be about 100mm off the ground to be legal or something , might have to call regency up mate

passenger side. only reason i chose that side is a lot of cars that come from the factory with offset plates, have em on that side (ie alpha romeo).

dont think they are to fussed on which side they are on. but it would make sense to have them on the drives side though, that way on-coming traffic can see it with ease

OK..

i was pulled up by a cop at a car park on one of kell's cruises,

i had it on the passenger side, right down the bottom of the bar.

she didnt mind it being on the side, or on an angle, but said it had to be ATLEAST 30cm off the ground.

first hand info right there.

I'm not sure about the ruling in SA, but in Vic it must be legible when viewed from a 45-degree angle from either side of the car.

Its about 20 degrees maximum in the official transport SA guidelines but like craig said, they're more concerned about visibility and height - I've never had any issues with my plate, it went thru regency fine with the relocation kit and that has around a 10 degree angle

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.

      Arm ball joint

      By Duncan · Posted

      No, 260RS/4wd stagea is 33 GTR/GTS4 double wishbone all round, not struts. The 2wd cars are confusingly strut front. At there rear there is one balljoint at the outer end of the lower control arm. If you have HICAS (my Stagea doesn't, but I think 260RS did, there will be a balljoint of sorts where the HICAS arm attaches to the rear of the hub At the front, there are ball joints either end of the lower control arm, plus the tie rod end for the steering arm

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      So, 2 months later, I just couldn't see any way to be happy with that tank setup. Basically the baffle area is too big and too leaky, the sender was miles off and the no low fuel light thing really bugs me. Other than the fact the fuel hat could safely supply enough power to the pump, it was worse than factory. Biggest thing that bugged me is it would still run out of fuel in medium-high g corners from about 1/4 tank down which is annoying when you are trying to have a zoom, not to mention potentially engine killing if it gets just the right amount of lean-ness....and we've got a few of those corners in our round trip to town (well, bunnings...) So, credit to Frenchy's, they have put together a much better designed setup with what is effectively an in tank surge setup.   As it happens the actual hat is the same, so I switched the fittings across, re-used the single 525 pump, and added a spare pierburg lift pump that I had (must remember to replace that stock, it was a spare for the race car). The only real work to get it all done was to add a second power and earth to the hat which I did by going from a single output to double output relay (very low draw on the lift pump) and also the sender unit that clips into the factory pump holder was again way too loose (so I re-used the 2mm shims from the previous setup). Finally, I added the low fuel light sender from the factory cradle. So....I'll report back how it handles low fuel, and if the sender has any relation to actual fuel level in the tank....
