one vehicle which looks interesting, whats your opinion on these issues for sa compliance...


button clutch --- do they care about clutches?
r33 gtr rotors using Uas caliper adapters to fit larger front rotors --- is this an issue?
Brake master cylinder stopper --- i cant imagine this being an issue but ..??
Apexi safc ---- is this something that can be disconnected for compliance reasons (and driven veeeeery carefully on stock computer)?
New wheels 18 x 9.5 (offset unsure looks about +20, on the limit of inside the guards) w semi slick tyres --- not a chance with the tires... but the wheels?

I dint think clutch will matter.

Have to check allowances with wheels.

Caliper adaptors would be a no. They would need to be engineered with a certificate.

The safc could be hidden reasonably easily.

You drive the car in and out of the ID so clutch is no problem.

You cant see the adaptors unless you put your head under the car and look up behind the wheel so cant see that being a problem, at least mask up around and paint them black.

BMS is only 2/3 bolts, might as well remove it.

SAFC as Ben said you could hide, just push up behind glove box, or it will just be wired in next to the ecu and it only 3 wires so can remove and drive gently.

They are picky about wheels/tyres. Technically its within the track allowance, but im sure somebody would have some stockies you can borrow. Ive got some wheels I use for Id checks/regency but they have different size tyres front to rear. Welcome to borrow if you want to change tyres.

ok so it looks like i have found the right car, which seems to be one of the first i looked into which gives me a better feeling about it.
one more quick question, the cars in Vic and currently registered. the vic rego means nothing to me as it gets lost when transferred to SA reg.

but, does the car need to be registered to transfer to SA or does it make no difference, as in is it the same process of ID check (and maby the other roadworthy checks) weather its regoed or not.
does having NO current rego bring up any more processes?

a little birdie told me that you can still get ID checks for sa completed at specific police stations.
not sure if this would make it easier or if its easier to just hit the pits

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
