hey all,

was talking to a mate the other day and he was getting his VH burnout/drag car conditionally registered, through the street machines club that he is in, meaning that his fully prepared street drag vh can be driven on the road, on sundays, no blue slip, no eng. cert. this is how things like lawnmowers, tractors, forklifts, old cars etc. can be driven on the road.

im thinking of doing this with my r31 as i dont drive it except for weekends and would be so much easier to deal with the law enforcement as they basically cant do shit from what ive heard, as i want to make the thing a pig

can we get this through the sau club?? or does anyone know how we can get sau in the game so we can do this.

cheers

Very interesting timing Linton...SAU NSW is currently underway registering with the RTA as a historic vehicle club which allows club rego, what your friend has :)

However there is an age limit for historic rego, I am not sure what it is yet but I'm pretty sure an R31 will not be old enough.

BTW there is another type of conditional rego, Rally rego which is what I have on my GTR. ALso no engineers cert, mods are ok as long as they are roadworthy with an inspection station. Car car only be used for competing, driving to compete, practice, or driving to workshops.

shows are included if they are run under a CAMS permit, ie competing at an event. luckily the SAU show n shine is run under a CAMS permit so I could take my car.

Same goes for cruises run under CAMS permits they are OK for Rally Rego too :O

so a twin turbo early modded commodore or somthing like that can be conditionally rego'd  if it's in a cam's rego'd club????? but an import can do the same under a rally rego??????untill sau pulls the finger out ????????lol

You're more than welcome to pull your finger out and put some time into helping the club organise it if you like :(

thats the link i was reading from, it doesnt say anything there about rally rego, or an age limit to vehicles, it just says purpose built and recreational vehicles.... i think drifting is a recreational sport isnt it??

anyways, thanks for your input guys, any more help would be appreciated.

basically the 31 is going to be a monster NA RB30, its more something for me to tinker with than drive...thats just what i do. but id still like to be able to drive it on cruises, to drift days, etc.

its an 87' which isnt much older or classical than a vh commonwhore.

anyways, ill try and find out as much as i can.

cheers

Hey Linton, good timing I heard back about this today, thread is posted up here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=91442

There are multiple types of conditional rego and SAU is currently only eligible for Rally use. We are underway getting Historical use per the link I posted.

We have got Rally rego on our GTR, you basically need a CAMS log book, then get an inspection from a CAMS scruitineer for roadworthyness. Then you pay a regular rego fee. The benefit is that you can legally have a full cage, lowered suspension, bonnet pins etc etc etc. The downside is you can only drive to events, practice or workshops and you need to get a permit every time you drive. Not that that slows us down.....one week we got 4 permits in 8 days lol.

They are the only useful types for us, the others that allow tractors or forklifts etc aren't relevant.

You're more than welcome to pull your finger out and put some time into helping the club organise it if you like :angry:

if i think i could i would!!!! how ever going by my question in my last post i know nothing (either) about all this, but i am interested.

didnt mean it in a nasty way kel. i do know or could imagine how long and involved something like this is, so good luck sau. you to linton.

cheers Duncan... ill be talking to my mate again at tafe on thursday, so ill see how he went and what conditions he got told.

does practice include winding mountain roads at 3am?? hehehe, jokes!

cheers

    • All the best with it mate. Hopefully no dramas. I found quite a few issues when i pulled mine out eg fkt trans and engine mounts, throwout bearing, i had not been aware of, so 'any car maint' can be worthwhile it seems.
    • I think it's the alternator, there's some cracked shit going on with the rectifier. But so far, seems to be fine again? No sparks, no weird arcing when the leads went on. I ran this past a mate, he said he had similar issues before and his auto sparky replaced the alternator. All I know is, car works, car not on fire lol.
    • Brother-in-law's workshop. And I'll be doing. Family doesn't get priority over long running customer jobs. It wouldn't normally take so long to get to a task of mine, but there was a series of unfortunate events involving the dyno (blowing it up) that caused a serious backlog in the normal workload, that has toaken literally forever to get out from underneath. I can't do, or more to the point, choose not to do, jobs at home that require tools I don't have or would leave me without my daily if something goes wrong that thwarts me. Gearbox out on the floor with chassis stands is not palatable when I can use a hoist at the shop. But I've only had the box for a few weeks. It's the injectors and AFM that have been waiting on access to the dyno.
    • Thanks for mentioning it on the forums! Much appreciated Jen and I likely can't make it this weekend, but looking forward to see what you folks cook up in the future. Enjoy!
    • Welp, I have been driving it around (a bit) and messing with idle and return to idle characteristics. This is all well and good until I discovered my starter motor... is nearly dead. This is unfortunately after I booked my exhaust and tune in. This is the new section of my exhaust, after losing my mind with vbands and clamps. Yes I now have 4 mufflers. The two middle ones are 5in body 3in pipe round straight through mufflers or incorrectly named 'resonators' whatever you want to call. How does it sound? Muffled.   Car runs richer now in low load. Is it restriction? Or lack of exhaust leaks. I also figured out a way to make the Analog Readout match the serial WB Readout. All of this requires a car to you know.. *start* to tune the maths, which was not ideal when I needed it to get to the exhaust shop and back. It started when cold. 30 mins after the car got home, it was time to get stuck into it. Unfortunately this thing has no identifying marks on it at all. I contacted Mal Wood and asked if he could send me a replacement and he asked me to remove it because they've changed starters with their kits a few times over the years. I asked other companies with LH LS starter conversions and they all use different starters unique to their kits. I did find CAE performance supply Mal Wood - But they are out of stock for this starter for the next 3 weeks. The tune is booked for Friday 30th. Here's hoping the local starter motor repair place (which interestingly has a 5 star review from Trent @ Chequered) can get this rebuilt/sorted out so I can get it on and put the car on the dyno. Here's hoping!
