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

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
