The latest version of the National Code of practise has just been put on the website. Link provided.

Got some major changes, see the LA section engine size table.

V8s and forced induction dont figure in the scheme of things.

So...

(RWD) 1350x3 = 4ltr turbocharged/blown motor/6.5ltr N/A motor

(GTR) 1600x3 = 4.8ltr turbocharged/blown motor/8ltr N/A motor

(weights i know, are rough. Just proving a point)

Same as your last thread a while ago... A lot of hoohah, about nothing. Common sense ruling.

This is a skyline forum, not a blown big bore forum.

Plus the idea of putting a blown 5ltr-6ltr V8 into a 1200kg car will never be approved by a Victorian Engineer anyway.

So it's just ratifying common sense really as anyone doing such a thing isn't exactly building a road car.

You'd still get a small 4.2ltr V8 passes potentially that is both lighter and newer than say, a LS1 :)

Hi there,

your right, its the same as the last post in a way. i was just letting everyone know the version 2 NCOP had been posted.

Still if you know whats happening in WA you find that there are crazies here who have tried to supercharged V8s into 1400kg cars.

Of interest is that v 2 of the NCOP is now supposed to be accepted by all registration authorities and will be adopted into all States. V1 had bits that NSW wouldnt accept, now they state in there " this is the standard, but in NSW you have to do blah blah".

For late model cars stability control has been addressed, now they want evidence or testing to show ESC is not affected by suspesion mods, tyres etc.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
