lol it's not even a public website, and it's in another language!

this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

http://www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33achome.html.

Was a public website for comments, on reviewing the NCOP VSB 14

Must mean if it aint for review anymore they have alredy decided.

The LA1 table has always been in the VSB14, just didnt apply to LA3 modifications, I heard they moved the table in the LA document so that it will apply.

hey dumbass, that is from feb last year, and it only applies to modifications. basically it means you can't put a 427 chev engine in a gemini. has nothing to do with what the manufacturers put in their cars from the factory.

Hey thanks for the compliment, but that was when all the state heads of Vehicle Safety sections agreed to the change, or so my mate tells me.

And of course your right, every manufacturer has a V8 with a turbo or superchaged engine in their stable. Still they spent the money on R&D so they can do what they like, we wont be able to.

yes but they did the R&D on making sure that a chassis will be able to handle the power. some backyarder who puts a blown 350 chev into a torana won't know/care about whether it is going to twist the chassis every time he launches it. and he might put it in and not do any upgrades to the brakes or anything like that.

I'm not arguing for bad modifications, and I am all for manufacturers producing hot cars, turbo or otherwise.

I was just flagging impending change, to be for warned is to be for armed.

If your about to mod a V8 with a supercharger, espesially here in the west u need to know this shit.

as much fun as that would be, afraid not

although in a car that light, i think the twist of the engine when you reved it meant that if you were showing off at the lights by reving the car, if you reved it too hard it would just flip the car onto its roof, LOL

Hey VSB 14 NCOP version 2 will ban V8s being blown.

3 x tare weight = max cc allowed.

Commodore v8 1600kg = 4800cc.

Bye Bye blown V8s.

Imports will rise to the top.

Learn to read first...

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

1600*5=8000. Can you even get 8L v8s?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
