sounds like that 50mm is not only suspension lift, but total lift including tyres and bodylifts as well. ie it says 50mm lift to trim height, which is the edge of the gaurd/flare. That would suck for 4WDs. Any links to actual info about the proposed change?

I haven't actually read the proposed legislation - just the comments on the link from the first post. I hope that those so vehemently against this have read the legislation, so they understand what they're protesting against.

I agree with your point about the 4WD's, hence my earlier comment. Not that I'm all for jacked up mud racers on our roads, but on a 4WD it doesn't take any extreme mods to blow that 50mm out of the water. Like always, a blanket rule across all vehicle classes is not the answer.

Beseides, there's already legislation in place to limit excessive lowering of cars. Not too many standard road cars would handle more than a 50mm drop and still be able to maintain the required 100mm ground clearance.

Why does a road car need to be raised / lowered more than 5cm anyway?

...

Maybe hardcore offroaders need the extra lift, and I'm not going to argue against that.

Well there you go.

My point is, there's reasons why you'd want to raise/lower your car more than 5cm, as you said yourself Extreme 4wd'ers. While skylines might not need to be lowered 5cm for track work, i'm sure there's some cars out there that could be safely lowered, with a benifit, more if they were to be used on a track aswell. no need to force people to buy a trailer if they don't want or need to.

Now, if someones driving around in a dangerously lowered car with distasteful rims, wouldn't the current laws mean that they'd be defected anyway?

Not everyone can afford a track car and a daily. Or at least people should be able to drive to the track. Just because you see no need for a car to be raise or lowered does not mean it should be illegal to do so...

There are already laws in place for lowering (100mm lowest) and raising car ( not sure exactly how high is highest)

If they really want to improve safety they should be stricter on tyre manufacturers and ban the Chinese plastic fantastic tires. Now they are dangerous..

Signed.

Even though this lowering ban won't affect me much I'm sick & tired of the government's fantasy fetish to "ban" everything they don't like.

Now whats this BS about increasing registration cost of older cars so we are all forced to drive white goods grandpa spec Camrys?

Bravo for the selective quoting. Looks like you'd make a good journo.

Well lets be honest, your line of thinking is flawed.

The default should not be unlimited power to government then justify why a law should not be implemented.

What is it about vehicles raised or lowered more than 5cm that warrants prohibition?

Give them an inch and theyll take a mile, they wont stay at 5cm. The only length I want to give them is some hangrope.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
