I cant see how it wouldnt be legal.They are still NA and injected....Very common to come by also...They came standard here in our corolla Seca SX and GTi....I drive an SX...hauls well once the revs are up, But the corollas are heavier than the sprinters...I am in NSW so I am not real sure how the VIC rules are...

haha dun honestly no the power to weight ratio for vic p platers..

all the sprinters in vics specially the ae86s are all bollocksed up... neone actually have a good example?

every now and again I get an old grey haired chinese guy drive in my area with a bog stock, faded blue paint AE86..Now if only I could pull up at the lights next to him oneday.I would offer him $4K on the spot for it. Sprinters are getting snapped up like crazy, even in Japan...awesome little drifters

if only haha.. the lil ae86s are jus awesome.. too bad the ones down here are pretty much dead..

think my parents actualli had one b4 we traded it in bout 7 years ago.. onli got 4k off the new honda at that time tooo :D

wish they knew to keep the car instead.. :D

Good thing also is that Sprinters come standard with the 4age engine.Last of the 20 valves is still a 4 age....So same engine block, worse case scenario you could buy the head,ecu and throttle bodies etc and bolt it all onto the standard motor.This I would only do if its illegal for you to drive due to power weight ratio ruling..But I would just go the whole engine swap rather than this

As a probationary driver, if you obtain your licence from 1 July 2007 onwards, you can't drive a vehicle with:

  • Eight or more cylinders;
  • A turbocharged or supercharged engine;
  • An engine that has been modified to improve its performance; and/or
  • One of the nominated high performance six cylinder vehicles which include BMW M and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z, Porsche (all models) and Mercedes Benz SLK350.

These restrictions do not include:

  • Diesel powered turbocharged or supercharged vehicles (without engine performance modifications);
  • Nominated vehicles with low powered turbocharged or supercharged engines including Suzuki Cappucino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 cylinder 698cc, Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible 4 cylinder 659cc;
  • All models of the Smart car produced by Mercedes Benz; and
  • Vehicles driven as a part of the driver’s employment and at the request of the employer.

engine changed to improve performance... itd rule the engine swap out for me wouldnt it?

I don't think you'll be able to drive a 4age powered ae86 because you can't do anything to your car which increases engine power output. No engineering is needed though because Japan got ae86's with 4age's.

B4 my R34 i had a VTI Accord which was dumped on its ass. i still miss that car. it wasn't fast but damn it was comfy to drive....... it never broke. i had 1 thing go wrong on it in 2 years and thats cos i shorted out the whole ignittion circuit. ps i hate to say it but Honda build quality is about 10x 1.03^89 better. but hey u need to figure do you wanna have a slow NA car and have every 1 say"why didn't you buy the turbo model" or dam your goes damn well for a little 2L.

yeh i spose hondas good for the reliability and stuff buh thing is which honda would be best? jus go for a lil eg civic or shud i try for a vti? have been eyein 4th gen preludes for a while now..

get a nice 93 Civic Breeze, 1.3 litre carby engine...........why? because it's not popular and less change of people bollocksing up the engine.

even if there not screwed up, the civic breeze;s engine jus seems tooo small for me.. i like the body buh im worried i mite get screwed over coz of d tiny engine

Silvia.. hands down..

Best pick of the lot!..

Quite light.. better than an NA Skyline.. Plus PLENTY of money for mods left over!

dont buy an 86.. because poeple who have 86 tend to be wankers who think their Tsuchia or Takumi and end up writing it off

Na skylines are crap.. small brakes.. 4 stud.. open diff (I believe)

NA 300ZX's: It takes alot of money to build a good NA car, let alone even more when you have to buy everything twice cos its a V6

MR2's are not a bad buy.. you dont see too many of them around.. being different is really important for me (i know.. haha.. i drive a 32) and you can get them to be an awesome car to drive!

Thats my 2c

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
