haha

yeah my car is in the panel "shop"

started sanding it back today.. paintful job.

Also having real drama's with the rego and compliance process that seems to be dragging on for months. Seems that Trans SA say that the car was illegally complied and therefor no rego is allowable until i get issues fixed and full roadworthy done..

months of f**king around and still no rego

wat drama ? why they said is illegal ? anyway good luck simon
its a long story, but i hope i get it sorted out soon, its gonna cost a f**king wad of cash tho... not happy

yeah exactly, it was passed legally like any other 15yo import, it went to an ais station then over to the transport station that we have (i.e the government , where they tick off that its legal) then back to the ais for a final inspection. every single import in tas has been passed the same way and the guy who passed it from the government transpoert is the head honcho. so let me know if i can help :laugh:

sadly it doesnt work that way by the looks.. They have said that several of the items needed to comply the car do not conform to standards, so i have to change the child restraints, fit side intrusion bars and so forth since it doesnt comply.. biggest load of shit.

anyway i got sick of being f**ked around. and started on my respray project.

couple of pics here

well i actually asked the guy who passed it at our transport station if that car would be registerable in other states after being rego'd in tassie, he told me once the car was complied and registered it was passable in any state :) . Sorry to hear about your troubles, ill see if theres something i can do :D

short of sending trans SA some C4 in the mail... im not sure theres much you can do :domokun:

been told that in order to get the SA rego i have to have the side intrusion bars, cheapest quote ive had so far is 750 bucks....

what crap.. i wouldnt be so miffed if it was a fresh import, but as you said its been complied and rego'ed in another state.. and compliance means complying with AUSTRALIA design rules.. so this means country wide compliance... and last time i checked tassie was still a part of Aust (tho some people may disagree)

fools... i hate em!

EDIT: Further more... i know this is inark's old car also.. and that he did the manual conversion... All im going to say about that is it the single most dodgy6 conversion i have seen yet.. want an example? how about several! My clutch peddle box broke in peak hour traffic during my lunch break at work... i had to limp it back to work with no clutch.. not an easy task. So i ripped out the peddle box and there was a dozen cotton mechanics gloves stuffed between the firewall and the peddle box... acting as a spacer or whatever the f**k it was for, and that the box was only bolted to the firewall, the third bolt that goes at the top wasnt even there, aso the whole time it has been flexing away and thats why it broke.

So i rewelded it back up, then bolted it in properly and left the gloves out this time :P works awesome now.. the clutch feel is ten times lighter and the feel itself has changed heaps.

Then theres other dodgy shit like, wires for the box not soldered or anything, just twisted together, box cross member held in by two bolts... (Trans SA didnt like this one much either)

Needless to say... inark is dodgy :D

c4 can be arranged LOL, i have the number of the transport guy that passed it somewhere, but it sounds like that wont help

much?, sounds like rego is hard to get over there :D . I gave you all the paperwork from when i had it complied didnt i?

i didnt know about inark doing the gearbox swap :), i thought it came from japan like it , i cant believe he put gloves under the pedal box :pirate: . The wires twisted together was my fault sorry (was like it before), i forgot all about putting some clips on them :wave: , i can also remember asking a "reputable" mechanic if the gearbox mount would be ok , he told me that was fine

nothing to worry about

that sucks Nimon,, it seems that SA are kunts when it comes to rego'in cars , but we all knew that..

when i took my ceffy through, they just looked at the Vin number and gave me all the paperwork to fill in, took a few hours but didnt have any hassles. my ceff came with out number plates all i had was a rego sticker that was expired and a vin number.

hopefully you can get it rego'd soonish and not have that many MORE dramas with it...

looks tuff now.. and yes prep work sucks major testicals.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
