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...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
