got it now ~ one thing i hate about their regulations is that you need to be a solicitor to bloody read them...and understand them fully.

When I read the one about wheel sizes it seemed to me that if a car in the same model run has bigger you can go 1 inch wider than that...but it wasnt very clear...

hehe..funny..if the owner of the tint place gets busted for tinting the windows to non ADR specs he's in trouble ;)

BTW: that links contains most roadworthy/ADR items in VIC and all the requirements. Its pretty good, even if its a bit technical.

Yup, I didn't know that until I read that too. That means many Excel and Lancer drivers should be pinned for having 18" wheels on their cars. How many times is _that_ enforced though, and yet if your car is 1cm too low, bang.

i find that the r34 has no traction whatsoever even with tcs on.

i am in straight line in 2nd and decide to step on it a bit and it begins to lose traction.. this is in the dry and i can feel the power back off to stop the wheels from spinning up...

is this usually the case or have i just got really crappy tires, though new, i have never heard of the brand.. it's WAH"somthing"

mine currently has simex too, they are cheapies but seem to grip just fine, they are around $170>180 each or so I am told.

Ed: not much, just cat-back [kakimoto 3.5"], pod filter and :)

Less than you by looking at your avatar!

hopefully around 160 - 170 rwkws

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
