"Under the new scheme permit holders will no longer be restricted to club sanctioned activities when using their

vehicles. Vehicles will be able to be used at any time for any purpose".

Interesting.

I would love the opportunity to use my car less than 45 days a year. atm I probably use my car 10 days a year!

Will be keeping an eye on the modified vehicles they elude to. Not sure if a 90's nissan will fall into that catagory though?

Sorry, whats this for?

Cars that aren't regoed, or can't be regoed, that are older than 25 years, can get a permit to use for club purposes, ie. travel to a show and shine event. You can purchase a permit allowing 45 days of use (of the car on the roads) or 90 days, without rego. As long as there is a permit sticker on the front.

They're still regoed, they get the CH plates, but have fewer restrictions than a standard registration.

The club must also be a vicroads approved club.

There is some talk of extending the age restriction to 30 years.

Greg - I understand that the 30+ year requirement HAS made into the new scheme, but details have yet to be announced. In fact, details are very scant at the moment as (as usual) Vicroads is running late with getting this thing up and running. It was all supposed to be in place by the October/November 2010. For anyone interested the original discussion paper sent out to clubs is here:

http://www.aomc.asn.au/publications/Vic%20Car%20Club%20Brochure_WEB.pdf

The 30+ year change is outlined in that doc. Essentially, from Feb 2011 the new scheme will be in place, log books+stickers issued, etc - although it's still not clear whether they're going to issue these to everyone in Feb, or at the time of reg renewal. From Feb 2011 to Feb 2016 the old 25+ age rule will apply, but after that the age will be lifted to 30+. The 5 year delay is to allow some grace to those people that might be building or restoring cars (fair enough....). In the very early stages of discussions over these proposed changes it was suggested that the age also be lifted by one year for each calendar year after the scheme's introduction - but that hasn't made into the new scheme as far as I can find out.......yet. It's worth noting that these are regulations, which don't require new legislation to implement but only the Ministers approval to Vicroads. So expect some 'fine tuning' in the future.

For those with modified cars thinking of using the new scheme, it might be harder or at least more expensive than you think. Word is that anything outside the street rod definition will require VASS inspection and sign-off before Vicroads will consider.

Anyway, I think the new scheme is a good thing....and I'll still be allowed to get my '89 GTR onto it (unless they change things again......).

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
