so yeah.. looks like im joining the ranks of the ceffy owners...

buying a drift set up ceffy, nothing too crazy but with the right gear, it has import approval and what not and when it gets to adelaide i want to comply and register it aso i can drive the bloody thing.

can people give me a detailed rundown on what exactaly needs to be fitted to comply it?

also, in regards to the side intrusion bars, i rather not fork out the 1000 thats needed to get them put in, is there a way (dodgy) around getting it registered without? since they dont check under the door trims.

fill me in guys.

if people in adelaide are able to lend me the required stock parts that would be awesome! Alcohol provided!

Cheers

Simon

Gday Simon - glad you ended up with a cefiro.

There is a good way - don't register it.

What I don't get though is why the f**k wouldn't you want side intrusion bars? You can get kits if you want to save money but sif you wanna be t-boned and find out the hard way that they are used for a good reason.

I'd even argue that they'd be a good idea even if you weren't getting it rego'ed.. I mean you're takin it on the track!!

Other info for complying is available in the regulation/importing section of the forums.

when my R32 got Complyed the dude didnt check the doors... all he looked at was the fuel filler neck dimmer switch (wich i didnt have, and still dont) Zorst, and the mod plate.. and for the belts do what every 1 eles does... rip the japan sticker off it and say there dun.. lol works every time.

Hey Mate

Good to hear ya got a cef they are possibly the best like even better than well you know :lol: :D ,

The S.A fellas are pretty strict on the whole compliance thing i'm sure youd know how they are if youve had any dealings with TSA mob of idiots.

Things that need to be done:

Adelaide Compliance Centre 83690776 he tends to answer his mobile more though 0427717686 he will supply Intrusion Bars, Child Restraints x3, and Fuel Filler neck last time I paid $280.

If your a good welder you can weld these in yourself and have them engineered when done Doug Potts will engineer it for $150 I think it changes with where you live its cheaper just to go to his office in wayville he came to victor harbor for me at that price 82723156.

Cefiro seatbelts pass standard anyways being that they are elrvw as long as there in good nick no tears,frays etc. I think most nissans pass this except silvia rears etc but besides that.

Child restraints are pretty easy lined up with the centre of each seat mounted on flat surface but not to close to the speakers Two pop rivets in each has passed me everytime.

Fuel filler most exhaust shops will do this just pull out the neck and take it to them with the restrictor they flare it out bang it in and walla restricted cost me $5 at my local place last time.

Ceffys height must be 360mm F and 375 R coilovers are legal as long as there set at that height with the dual nut system so they can not be easily adjusted as with single nut coilovers they need a weld in the thread etc this has to be spot on my mate failed cause he had 357 in the fronts there so mean sometimes. :D

Everything else is pretty much the same as a defect inpsection, Yellow lights not allowed to work, power steering reack boots not spilt, all bushes in good cond, no leaks, good tyres, rails straight no major dints thats a pretty major one.

As for the standard gear I also have all that but am about to use it I got defected to low to loud :lol: :) but youre welcome to it when i finish whih should hopefully be within two weeks

Good Luck Buddy

:D Benno

Hello Again

yeah you wont have much leaniency I live 80 summin k's away so they make me visit murram bridgee or they come to Victor, Strath or Goolwa so yer its only if you like way outback that you get the cop shop thing i think even whyalla and port pirie and the like get visits from the inspectors so youll be stuck with a good ol regency inspector from what ive heard the dudes at actual regency are actual doofuses to deal with the fellas ive had out here have been nice and let me off with lil things so i suppose it all depends

Yeah there is no way of avoiding regency.

I used a company called Rory Thompson Eng he carried out all the mods along with a full Engineers report for $1,100 he is in SA . All you need to do then is make the car as standard as possible , suspension needs to be non adjustable and factory height, nice quiet pee shooter exhaust, wheels no bigger than 17" and not to wide.

Unless your lucky enough to find standard Cefiro suspenion , all I did is buy r32 spings and shocks for the rear and 180sx front struts with a 20mm spacer in between the strut and the body of the car for the front, along with some standard wheels.

Borrow a atmo exhaust it will bolt straight up to a turbo Ceffy.

Make sure you have no oil leaks, rust and make sure the chassis rails are straight with no major dents.

Frist time I went through I failed because the ride height was 10mm to low at the front, so I fitted the 20mm spacers.

At regency it all depends on the inspector you get on the day, I had a complete asshole the frist time , second time no worries.

Just try to suck up their ass and you should be fine.

cheers guys, yeah ive been to rory before, charges a bit much for my liking,

ive heard that there are intrusion bar kits available? any more info on these?

i will just try and borrow all the stock items needed and try my luck i reckon, the only bit i really need is the intrusion bars!

intrusion bar kits are available from QLD, although most workshops won't sign them off unless they've fitted them.

Compliance for a cef in melbourne's around $1100 for all 4 door. Although we don't have to have seatbelts changed.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
