[bitsa]

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

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.

damn! i really wanted a 427 powered gem

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.

i like this rule, looks like my mates Cluby with its 6L and the turbo kit his just brought is not goin to happen if this is true. Which means, GTR will still beat him. hahaha

[Mandingo]

Mate VE's need twin turbo kits I watched a guy in a VE GTS get blitzed (6 car lengths) by a bloke in a fairly standard XR6T Ute!

Just upgrade the GTR twin turbos...

[bozodos]

spose this means no Hemi 426 for the Datsun then

[mad082]

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

[bozodos]

well I've heard of 13b motors into 1200s, V8s are a law of diminishing returns due to weight vs power according to at least one Datsun wiki, best tradeoffs are unsurprisingly SR20DET and CA18DET

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?
