kabab i think is correct, if you have registered as a 4 seater then you have to have 4 seats, but when registering again u must specify that its a 2 seater.......if thats even possible for an import im not sure.

Easy, you can fit a full set of slicks in the back when you take the seat out. Can't even fit 1 rim in the boot.....

i can only comment about the ACT .... my brother happens to be a vehicle inspector .. fortunately not one of your regular rego nazis :thumbsup: anyhow, we were talking cars a bit back and a friend asked just that question ... basically you can take the back seat out of any (import or not) as long as you remove all seat belts and sign some doco (stat dec methinx) which means your car now only handles 2 people

Is that still going to be the case this year with SEVS and things in general ( like compliancing) just getting tougher? I was reading something 2 mths ago and it was talking about having to get your car re-complied after each mod to say that it's "safe" for road use in Aus. :confused:

I really don't know what impact SEVS will have ... I'm not too sure anyone really does ... my understanding of SEVS is that it is the most blatant attempt market protection I have seen for ages and is a complete crock of shite ... they have nothing to do with safety, just money .... I'm not bitter, I promise

yes i think your about right aleks.. there tryin to protect jobs that are in makin cars here rather then the car makers actually making cars we like at a nice price that we prefer over imports...

46n2, basically you car in new system has to be stock to import, if its not, aftermarket things have to be replaced with stock items, and compliancer have to provide evedence they destroyed aftermarket itesm...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
