VSI No 15 - Engineering Signatories:

See also VSI 6 - Light Vehicle Modifications:

And VSI 9 - Wheels and Tyres. (For interest)

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi09_rev4.pdf

NB - VSI 9 contains an age old problem and that is of tyre 'speed rating'. Now, the ADR on the matter virtually stipulates for new market vehicles that a car must be fitted with tyres bearing a speed rating that are equal too, or exceed the vehicles maximum top speed performance, Fair enough. However, here VSI 09 (also used around AUS jurisdications under NVS) for post ADR effect, allows tyres to be fitted that are speed rated LESS than the cars top speed maximum, something NT is not pleased with, and nor should they be.

Arrived at because 'the maximum speed limit is just 110km/h', for politically correct reasoning you see, but has serious potential trouble for NT when such equipped vehicles visit NT. Very dumbed down and arguably most negligent.

      Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.

      So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.

      I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
