Yeah. That import site says they don't do RHD -> LHD conversions... You need to go to another place for that.

What does an aussie compliance include?

- Child restraints

- New filters / fluids

- New tyres

- Brake pad check and replace if necessary

- New Seatbelts

- The compliance plate

Anything else?

Given that tyres aren't included in the cost, I can't see why this costs so much. I imagine it would be fairly similar in the US, with maybe a MPH speedo conversion (even though my first car here had a MPH readout instead of KPH).

They argue it out here. Heard there are a lot of bumper safety requirements plus the emissions test. Supposedly it's one of the only vehicles you don't have to convert to RHD. It would be weird shifting with my left hand, but oh I'm sure I could handle it.

getting back on topic... I'm sorry to offend you Chris, but that product is just as good as the cyclonic fan that you chuck in your CAI pipe. lol its more of a hinderance than a benefit.

The dyno graphs you've got show a 3kw increase across the board. I know you guys don't claim any power increase, but theoretically speaking a responsiveness increase means a linear variation in the torque AND/OR the power curves. On your dyno chart both curves are exactly the same, one is simply higher than the other by a constant value... This means that your product hasn't increased responsiveness, its simply added 3 kw of power across the board, and likewise for torque.

Changing your oil regularly can do this. Why would any sane person want to spend US$300 (that's AU$600 lol I can turbo my car for that with a cheap ceramic turbo and a secondhand manifold and get maybe 10-20kw on an exponential rate) on the product when you can get a fuel regulator for much less which does a much better job of the same thing.

A lot of cars would have to have custom manfolds made for their car. This is just not an option for everyone. I don't know when the new dyno graphs will come in. There have been a lot of different problems in different areas. One test that we just did is an airflow graph. Check that out...

an HKS cold air kit (larger diameter steel mandrel bent piping, clamps and filters) for a typical car is US$170. The increase in airflow one of these would offer i reckon would be higher. Also just out of curiosity, why does it cost US$300 when the manufacturer sells em for US$139

"why does it cost US$300 when the manufacturer sells em for US$139" The manufacturer is Lee Walker. He sells them for $350. I don't know where $300 came up. Anyways the flow of this is upwards of 800 CFM. The chart is on the website now. It compares the flow at certain voltages. To find out how much a car requires use this formula as stated earlier (RPMs x engine displacement in cu. in)/3456. For reference at 6500 RPMs a 4.6 L motor requires about 522 CFM.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Best practice for any track day should be Bleed brake fluid, inspect rotors and pads maybe even flip pads if they are prone to tapering.  Quality pad (project mu, endless, hawk, winmax, ap), Good high carbon content rotor (dba4000/5000, Ap, projectmu), Quality fluid, Good air supply over the rotor and caliper are all required for best performance at a track day no matter the car.  Even the bedding in of the pad and rotor is key to longevity. I've seen so many rotors destroyed on their first track day due to it.

      The hardcore tracks1ut guys I know would flush their brake fluid every 6 to 12 months depending on the amount of track work they did. Unlike most of us SAU guys, probably flush it once a decade 🥲

      Now that these are NLA, I suspect the answer is going to be to 3D print the plastic bit and glue on some felt or something to replace the brush. I have one or two of them (new) in the shed to go onto the car at some point. I could put some effort into measuring them up and could attempt to draw up the printed part in FreeCAD, if there is interest.
