Can you read or not?? I have a permit meaning I can drive the car between the hours of 7am and 7pm since I stopped to pick up some parts for the r33 on the way back from the airshow I was driving under the conditions which the permit allows.. so how does that make me a clown???

Well it kinda of does and it kinda doesnt as someone who knows a bit about the law (PM me if you want more info its somethin I'd prefer not to disclose in forums) I do know how these permits work and some of the legalities behind them..

If you interested its actually legal to drive a car on the road with no registration, no permit no nothing (there is some rules to this)...many people dont know this..certainly its flaunting the system a little and by all means its not the right thing to do..but when its the only car you have and youve spent 300bucks to go to the airshow by all means I was goign to try it..

And yes I do know how the law works and do know it is illegal to drive a car with a permit solely for transport purposes BUT there are a number of clauses and fine prints which basically mean u can do what u like on one of these permits and no i dont condone it..

this is while u will find when pulled up my an officer of the law the will check the dates of the permit, and compare vin and engine numbers on the permit to those on the car..but will hardly ever question u on where the car is going...

Mate its stated on the permit that you can only drive the car to and from place of repair or place of testing. Also it i think from memory can be only be driven between 7 and 7 Monday - Friday.

So you if they pull you over, i would be very surprised if they couldn't book you for something..

Hey Matt,

Naa its 7am-7pm all week..i do keep within those times.. Permit states the car can be driven see here

1.To take vehicle from place of acuisition to owners garaged residence

2.To travel from a licensed vehicle tester for repairs or testing

3.In the course of repairs modifications or testing.

4.Or to take the vehicle for registration.

As you can see the list is quite extensive and you can basically get away with saying anything...

I have a mate who has driven on unregistered vehicle permit for over a year now lol and I can assure you he has been pulled over more than once

Honestly though I only drive the car when I have to I also have the tx5 at the moment but its been in the workshop for a while...

But the skyline should be registered by friday so all shoudlbe good...

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
