Hey guys,

I was talking to a friend of mine about engineering different parts of the car to make them legal... My suspension is already too low and the rims i want to get will also be illegal... can you guys help give me some info about all this?

Thanks,

Cas.

More info is needed mate.

What sort of suspension do you have? Coilovers? Lowered springs?

And why are the rims illegal? over the 2 inch size that is allowed?

I think you will not be able to get anything engineered as it is ilegal to have rims that are over the 2 sizes leeway.

And your car has to be higher then 100mm at the lowest point. So if you have a low exhaust and thats the lowest part on your car u have to clear 100mm to that point.

Im pretty sure thats right. If not then you will soon find out when I get corrected.

Hope that helps anyway

Personally dont bother.

A mate knows someone who spent 2g+ to get his teins engineered so that they will pass regency.

Even when he did this the engineers at regency knocked them back -even though they had been approved. 2K wasted.

You are better of keeping the car stockish (at least go for 17" rims) as u will have nothing but hassles from police the rest of the time u own the car.

some other thing that isnt perfect. a perfect car does not exist. even straight from manufacture, some cars are not perfect. so a ten year old car is never going to be perfect, thus regency will pick on you and get you to come back no matter how hard you try. that is unless you are lucky the first time.

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
