I strongly suggest that you ask the same question on antilag. They might be able to help you out.

I don't follow. I get the joke, but I haven't been on antilag forums to know how they would handle the question, can you please elaborate?

Methinks you need to consider your comments more carefully before hitting the send button.

Show me an image of your car and I will single something out and tell you it looks disgusting and you should burn your car for it. f**k head.

We all had to start somewhere, and I am sure you asked some stupid questions as well. I didn't purposely set myself up to look like a tool. How else are you supposed to learn if you don't ask questions? You do know f**k all, cause if you had any intelligence at all you would have realized that.

Perhaps also you need to be less touchy. If you had spent a little longer reviewing other posts, you would have observed that asking any question where you demonstrate little knowledge or effort to find the answer yourself is likely to be given short shrift. Such threads have often been stopped dead after two posts by a moderator with the pithy line "Use the search button". I am sure, that as someone from the Google Generation, you can come up with a search expression that would reap dividends on this forum - because it has all been answered before.

In addiiton, as someone who has been on the forum for little more than a year, you might also pay a bit more attention to the advice offered by those who have been here for 5 times as long. Your question demonstrated not just lack of knowledge but also naivety. Your responses compounded this and I suspect that your thread only remains open for a short while for entertainment value!

In case you haven't got the message, in summary, there is no way to get permission for illegal mods. The Engineer's Certificate provides a means of gaining permission for a heavily modified car that has gone beyond the variations allowed to the basic manufacturers specification - but remains legal within the ADRs.

Also, if you want to survive on this, or any other forum, take some time to learn the conventions (largely unwritten) and pay a little respect to those who have been here longer than you. If you don't like that, you can always take your bat, neons and keyboard home.

Please note, before you respond with pithy epithets, that a) I am being very polite and b) I am offering constructive advice. Please take it as such. Keyboard warriors are so tiresome.

Cheers. :cheers:

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
