Hey gang

It's good to be back on SAU. Unfortunately I have crossed over to the dark side by purchasing an Evolution VIII MR.

So, I've started making a list of things I want to do and have come across the placement of my boost, oil temp etc gauges on my a-pillar. However there's a question mark over it for me since I'm not particularly sure if this is legal or not (for driver vision reasons) and was wondering how many of you have experience with this. I am in NSW by the way.

Cheers

Shanil

depends on what the copper really thinks, although i had a mate with a 32 and he had 2 gaugues up the pillar and got defected, and another mate had the same setup on a s15 and it was overlooked. i believe to be 100 percent legal the gauge needs to sit under the height of the top of your steering wheel.

I've got 3 gauges on my evo 7 a-pilar and never have I been questioned about them at all. A while back I got a major canary, full emissons test by epa and everything was picked on except my gauges, turbo timer and anything that was wet carbon fibre. So to have tmu, vic roads and epa to go through your car as if you've been smuggling drugs, than i'm sure your fine. This is pure anecdotal evidence :)

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
