Seriously this thread is going from bad to worse.

Let me make this clear - TOMMYKAIRAS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER SEVS. If they were they would have to be listed on the SEVS register.

Those workshops bringing them in are technically breaking the law and risk losing their accreditation with DoTaRS if they are caught, and therefore not being able to comply anything. Yes I know lots of places are bringing in modded cars but the fact remains that it's illegal - I would be very nervous about people posting stuff on here listing my company's name if I was a RAW.

Oh and they are not nervouse about be listing their name, they approve of it for 2 reasons, One is it is good publicity and 2 is they are doing nothing wrong. But you seem to Know all so i am sorry.... :(

No see let me explain, if they are brought in as an R34 GT-t then they must be returned to stock for compliance. Part that are aftermarket are meant to be destroyed.

As it stands, it is common knowledge that there are workshops working their way around this by removing parts before compliance and putting them back on afterwards. This is a good thing for us importers, but if people get on here advertising this fact, then expect DoTaRS to shut it all down and find ways of making us all suffer.

In other words, keep you mouth closed or you'll ruin it for everyone!!

Thanks for speaking on behalf of all of the RAWS workshops, but i can promise you that by us Importing any modified Car, and putting it back to standard is totally leagal and within the guidelines of RAWS. It is actually stated that all modified coponents must be removed.

Now as far as what the owner of the car does with his Aftermarket Parts that have been removed (They do not have to be destroyed as some wrokshops will have you beleive or actually beleive themselves, as it conflicts with civil law of the coponent not actually owned by the RAW for them to destroy, we have been to court over this topic) is entirely out of the RAW control.

So thanks for the concern but please do not put anyone down or say they are breaking laws ect... until you know the facts, and even then it is not a good idea to put people down

:D

Joe the info I had was coming from other workshops themselves, so perhaps they also need to read up a bit more on the matter.

But hey, if what's happening is within the rules, then it's all good - great in fact (I'm planning my next car already!!). I wasn't actually putting anyone down - quite the reverse, I was concerned that you guys would get in trouble if people got on here advertising what was going on.

Good to know though - I won't feel so sneaky anymore! :D

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
