I'm just curious regarding the new laws on cars being manditory fitted with ESC. Will this effect importing a car?

EG, if i import a R33 with no ESC, then try register and comply it in vic in 2012 after the laws are in full effect will it need to be fitted with the new parts, if thats even possible to do?

"the new law requires all passenger vehicles and SUVs made (or first affixed with a compliance plate) on or after January 1, 2011, to be fitted with a compliant ESC system"

Vehicles on the SEVS register are exempt (ie skylines). Probably because they have to comply with ADR's in order to be complianced, and are signed off on already.

even brand new cars get complianced.... hence "first fitted with complaince plates" .. i would say its just brand news cars ... but good question, i would be interested to see what other people have to say about this

I'm gonna say no on the fact of that I'm pretty sure cars only have to comply with the ADR's / laws in the year of manufacture or something like that.

Eg. I don't think you're going to have to fit ESC to a 60's Mustang you import. And the same with cars that don't require cats or seat belts.

i think i heard or saw somewhere that its only new cars have to have it, for example once it takes effect and becomes mandatory than all cars made after that needs ESC but anything before is fine.

Moving forward - what about for imports manufactured after 01/01/2011 - I'd imagine not all of them would have ESC

most of the import models manufactured after 2011 come with ESC already. its only the shit spec ones that don't.

mate's dad imported a '69 mustang a couple of years ago. speedo in mph, 110db exhaust etc, but it gets away with it cos it's a 'classic'. it'd be a nightmare to impose such regulations retrospectively.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
