Also for those that haven't heard the latest, there is a meeting planned for engineering signatories with the RTA (roads and traffic authority) next week.

There are around 70 engineers going to this meeting to discuss the proposed legislation on vehicle modifications, including the suspension regulations.

Basically they will be raising a lot of points about how silly some of the new proposed laws will be and try to explain why they are rubbish. Labor is backing the proposed laws, and the Liberals are against. Gives you something to think about voting time too...

Also they propose to raise the registration costs on older vehicles, to a point that the majority can't afford it, to get them off the road. That's under the Labor party.

Various things such as, vehicle owners, enthusiasts, the automotive aftermarket and workshops all come into play here as to whether we get to do what we enjoy and also the whole industry keeps going, or if we all end up driving white goods, with no soul, and not allowed to change anything.

That about sums it up, and that's just the start. If you guys have anything to add, please do!

Cheers

Why does a road car need to be raised / lowered more than 5cm anyway? Track specials, I can understand, but anything that is road registered doesn't need to. If you're serious enough to have a car capable of winning championshios, then it will have a shedload of other illegal mods anyway, and most likely wouldn't be much fun on the roads.

Apart from possibly WRC cars, I haven't ever seen a rally car raised anywhere near 5cm, so that's no excuse (thinking about competition vehicles that *need* to be registered).

Maybe hardcore offroaders need the extra lift, and I'm not going to argue against that. Everyone else, OTOH, well I agree that 5cm is more than enough for a road car. Maybe it will get some of these dickhead slammed civics riding on 20" chromies off our roads.

Can't always have your cake and eat it too.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
