What ever happened about this ? I am looking for a cheap club option to join in NSW that is not linked to a particular Maker/ Brand and is participating in the Classic Vehicle Log Book Trial with the RMS . I have an Daimler DS420 now but might consider another classic in the future as well for Historic Registration. The Daimler and Lanchester Club and the Jaguar Club do not appear to have any members with my model of car anyway so am seeking other options. Would appreciate any suggestions. Please send me a PM if preferred.

Got so excited when I saw this topic emerge - epic thread revival!

It's a relevant question as I'm looking for this for my 1986 FC3S.

I'm sure you've seen this list: http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/registration/get-nsw-registration/vehicle-sheets/historic-vehicle-clubs.pdf

Some clubs with next to zero online presence that appear to be signed up to the trial e.g.

Cult Cars Inc 24 Neville St NORTH WILLOUGHBY NSW 2068 James Whitbourn 0403 892 897 YES

I thought the trial was only offered to people who had historic rego already, not new applicants????

Ps I too got fooled by the thread revival! :(

lol 11 years ago.

there is nothing stopping SAU offering historic/club rego as we are an officially registered car club. when I originally looked into it the key requirements were minimum 5 people who would maintain their rego, and an authorised inspection station being willing to do the inspections for us.

no huge deal, but under the rules 10 years ago the cars had to be certified as standard, or standard with period options only. also of course, there are restrictions on how you can use the car.

wow that 2nd link is not a triumph in communications best practice. But as I understand it the only change is a loosening of restrictions once you have historic/club rego in place. So you still need to go through the rego steps with a club.

    • That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.   
    • There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
    • Thank you Duncan, and I will say, before reading GTSBoy’s response, this was more or less my logic.  I can’t argue with that. The part I couldn’t get past was thinking that the speed sensor in the 30A was replacing whatever was in the AT transmission before, and therefore completing the prior circuit.   The other thing that I failed to mention was that, across all HKS documents, despite mentioning compatibility with AT R34s, there is no mention of a different pin. These Japanese instructions appear to predate early man, so there’s always room for error.    I’m speaking with the seller of this R34 GTT ECU with Nistune at the moment. It’s pretty cheap and eliminates the possibility of me soldering my fingers to the ECU when installing the board myself. I am yet to confirm whether the base ECU is from an MT or AT car, so the question is: When using an MT ECU in an AT car, and then losing the TCU part, are there any other implications?   Another thing I’m not sure of is whether I can pass local regs with a TCS warning. Of course, swapping between ECUs is a fairly simple task.
    • yeah i have done it on my efr8374.. no issues.. sent it to OCD Works in the US.. locally i know hi spool industries do the mod as well
