Hello can anyone tell me what is the holdup with r34 compliance at dotars. Is it only the evidence packages and if so what are the dramas workshops are facing with the evidence packages. How can i find out when someone may be able to start complying and what other workshops are currently carrying out the raws certification proceedures.

The major hold up is evidence some ADRS are not passing. Also it takes 6 months from the time u book the GOV to come out and look at you'r car. It sux. R34's should be righ to go in around 2-3months but it is alwayz being pushed back ALWAYZ. plus it dosnt help when DOTARS are letting go of there employes every 4-6 months. There used to be over 20 ppl working in DOTARS. At the start of this year there was 12 now I belive there are 9.

It realy cant be said when someone will have them on there list but ppl keep saying that they will have them in the next few weeks so that customers will stay in contact with them but the truth is they dont know. I know of a work shop that says they have them but I look at the DOTARS website everyday and still nobody has them.

I hope they come soon but I would not import for another 4 months after the first RAW gets approval as there will be a bidding war on cars and aslo compliance price will drop later this year for R34's.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
