Can someone delete the spam post and sticky this thread? Is a great resource

I deleted the posts, hopefully the IPs get blocked soon too. It's not just the NSW section, either.

Also, topic "stickied" for easier reference.

What is this spam shit that is getting through the forums lately? Why SAU!! It is grinding my gears. Mods need to do something about the signing up / privledges to post.

Yeah, as above, I've deleted it. I'm only a Moderator, so that's as much as I can do. I have let the Admins know that the users and/or IP addresses need to be blocked.

In the mean time, I need to get me some Ugg boots! :P

Theres some interesting 'very grey' areas there. I'd suggest to anyone with a vehicle modified within the criteria to keep a copy in their car, to show anyone inspecting the car on the roadside that certain items they think are defective are not (you probably won't win, it'll just make them more angry - especially if you have a rego inspectors ticket & they only have a badge).

I think they've tried so hard to make it easy to read/understand that they've missed some critical detail.

eg; An engine that is not of an original family of engine for the series of models, or any engine more than 20% larger than the largest original optional engine for that series.

Does that mean I can replace my 1JZ with a 2JZ? (20% increase in capacity)
I'm pretty sure it doesn't but it kind of sounds like I can??
Example not requiring certification:
• Replacement of a 2.0 litre engine with an engine of 2.4 litres capacity or less and from the same vehicle series.

Interesting - that'd preclude swapping my 4G94 with a 4G69 then - two Lancer VRX from 2004, but one's a CH and the other CG, so no swapping I guess.

...Not that I'd spend money on doing that, though.

edit:: but it sounds like swapping it for a 2.0 4g93 is a-okay with certification? helloooooooo evo engine

So swapping and rb25det with an rb26det still requires a certificate?

The only one I'm going to have a problem with (since I got defected the other week for it) are aftermarket seats

I've got bride seats + rails in my 34

Would I have any problems getting them engineered?

Fitting of seats to non-original seat anchorages.
Example requiring certification:
•
Fitting seats using anchorages not originally supplied by the manufacturer.

seats dont meet ADR however no modifications to anchorages have been made so engineering will be a breeze! i had mind noted on my report aswell

The link above is no longer valid, fairly sure the one I copied below should be correct..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
