oooh, i want to be a leader too damnit! /breaks out in song 'cause i'm the leader of the pack...'

i think someone has hacked into our site.

i've been meaning to buy one of these but have only found $40 jobs. wouldn't want to trust them. what's a good one to buy and where can i get it from? cheers

Call 1300 137 302 (rta tech line) they'll clear it up for you

that'll do. thanks Andrew

even an rb25det format would do.

yah that's the one

no no no no NO! you need a TRD sticker on the corolla. sheesh, you just don't get it do you.

Anyone? forget the N/A bit, it'd be the same format for the turbo version so can someone just have a look at their rego papers for a 33T please.

Just a quick one. What is the engine number format for a N/A R33? Cheers

for questions like that a quick call to the RTA tech line on 1300 137 302 would be better than asking here. i'd be interested to know as well and i'd guess that you wouldn't have to pay it if you are cleared. just seems logical.

Last night I completed the last stage (had to add some bits and take some bits off) of engineering my car. I'm glad I did it all and along the way I learned alot of things. My advice, don't listen to what your mate said or what you heard somewhere, call an engineer and organise a face to face to windscreen meeting. I've spoken to nearly all of the engineers listed on the RTA site and alot of them you can't even get in touch with and when you do they can't be stuffed spending ten minutes answering your questions because they have 20 other guys ringing them each day! Sorry Neil but that's not completely true. When they engineer something they include the specs so you can't do that and so that cops won't think that. Like alot of you have said, cops can defect you regardless of a certificate but the benifits of having one is you can clear your car at the EPA just by providing the certificate. If you don't have one, you have to clear your car by making it legal which could mean thousands of dollars getting that stock cooler on and changing the exhaust system and buying new wheels etc. So in the end a small outlay of $400 can save you lots of headaches and lots of money. In a few months one of the clubs events will include an engineer and you guys can ask him whatever you wish.

haha i've got the vtec radiator cap. suffer all you wanna be's

my car was made in the pre-cat-era so that's not a problem for me but a good point anyway.

lol @ tosh I'd have a guess that it was a ute/truck or some sort of high rear end to do that damage without touching the bumper bar

Welcome to the forums

To all the sceptics about Famous and their claims. For reasons I'm not going to get into I had to make a claim just yesterday with Famous. They went out of their way to help me and were professional in every way. My circumstances were unique, as ever case is, and required unorthadox measures to be taken. I did not want to put a claim through as the damage was minimal but they were helping me by writing a letter to the other party and gave me advice which no one else would or could have. If they will help me without getting anything in return (ie no excess, no further action taken) then you can be certain they will honour your claim and give you attention if the situation arrises. Having said that I hope none of you will need to make a claim ever with any insurance company. Have a good weekend everyone. George

RACQ/NRMA will go over the whole car while a performance shop might only look at the mechanicals. For peace of mind getting both done would be good. The guy that bought my last car did an NRMA inspection for $190 and I saw the report. Pretty detailed and worth it.

sweet. i'm going to spectate:uh-huh: i was meant to go last night to watch this guy in a 240 but got held up with something

you can wire the money and i think by doing this you can retrieve the cash if the goods are not as advertised. i recall prank mentioning something about this so you can ask him for a more specific answer

Denham, do you have anything other than 'cops are wankers' to add? teka and R31H. that is not a stupid thing to be booked for by any stretch of the imagination. you are either driving a car or eating a sandwich. simple. you don't talk on the phone, you don't eat, you don't use the rear view mirror to put your make up on (although i got booked for that once). i'd hate to be hit by some dumb arse muther****er who thinks it's ok to eat while driving and i'm sure you'll be singing the same song if someone hit your car cause they were doing something other than driving and not concentrating with both hands free. god knows there are ****ed up drivers out there as it is.

You got it, they'll insure it.:uh-huh:

:bahaha: So true, so true.

wow, the testosterone in this thread is suffocating me. so i wonder what would happen if a 300hp skyline took on a 300hp v8 of the same weight? wait, don't answer that, i already know the outcome. just thought i'd add some of my testosterone.

you can meet up with us after you finish work ash. we'll be up in the north. i should say they'll be up in the north. pm tosh for his number and he'll help you out. gonna miss this one guys but i might come up with ash (torana_mad) to say hi and take off.
