Ok i did search too but didnt come up with my answers.

Anyway, I bought a car from the act that i am getting registered here this week. Getting the rwc on monday and booked in to vicroads on wednesday.

I'd like to register it as a 2 seater. Now when i booked in to vicroads, I asked the person on the phone what the requirements are(obviously remove seats and seatbelts), but did i need a vass to go with it. They had no idea, started rambling about how you can only change seating plans on buses, not cars. in other words, they were no help.

So question is, do i need a vass after removing seatbelts and rear seats, or can I just take it into vicroads on wednesday with the shit removed and register it as a 2 seater on the spot.

Thank You

:)

No, VASS isn't required.

I've done it coz I have a half cage.

Just take everything out and register as 2 seater as Martin said. Easy...

Only catch is if you wanna put it back to 4/5 seater then you need engineers cert even though you're only bolting factory stuff back in. Stupid but true.

I've done it: http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/PermitsModificationsAndDefects/Modifications/RemoveAddReplaceSeats.htm

Removing seats

The requirements for removing seats will vary depending on:

  • the original number of seating positions
  • the new number of seating positions
  • which seats are removed
  • when the vehicle was manufactured

An Approval Certificate is not required if:

  • the number of original seating positions was less than 10
  • 10 or more seating positions have been reduced to 2 - 3 seats in the front row only
  • 10 or more seating positions have been reduced to 4 - 9 seats in a vehicle manufactured before 1970
  • more than 12 seating positions have been reduced to 10-12 seats in a vehicle manufactured before 1986
  • the number of seating positions does not reduce to below 13

If the modification is not listed above an Approval Certificate is required.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
