That Import 101 mob have been importing “race only” cars under their own level 3 cams license. Maybe import one for race use through them, then do a VIN swap with a local GSR or something

This is of course illegal, and I’m not suggesting nor condoning this behavior and or activity.

Take the above info how ever you like, just do your research before you do it, as you don’t want to be stuck with two cars, or a car that’s of no use.

we can, but they need to be SEVS complied, which usually means stock. (providing they are on the SEVS list.. pretty sure they are)

The hardcore ones are for race rally use only, so no compliance, no road rego, no nothing....

I *heard* (so who knows really) that someone how imports a race rally car (with CAMS 3) has to sell it to someone with CAMS 3 also, but who knows if thats true.

you can not import an evo III for road use at all , they are not on the sevs list . I assume they fail because they are to close to the CC GSR turbo 4wd lancer misti brought in to australia

there used to be a loophole in victory to let you bring one in and replace a written off domestic GSR lancer with it but that has been closed

you can bring in a race only one if you have or can find someone with a cams license and then you can transfer all the running gear to a CC gsr lancer , the car is virtually identical to the evo III when you are done .

its not that difficult but domestically delivered gsrs are getting rarer and expensive so the total cost would probably almost equal an evo VI which you can bring in anyway

I was under the impression that it could be sold on to someone without a cams licence, but that doesn't mean it could then be rego'd... still for track/race use only...

Bugger....is this true.....can anyone confirm this ?....

where have you been hiding... it was scrapped about this time last year (early Feb). Unless you had docs proving that you had purchased the car before that date... no more 15 year rule....

pre - frikkin - 89

and top quality cars that age are getting VERY hard to find

yes but that defeats the whole purpose of buy one for a steal of a price....plus by the time you do the conversion, the cost will spiral like hell......and will cost more than a evo 6 or 6.5 :yes: already in AUS.... :)

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
