picture of 2 different s15's with a-piller factory gauges.

If these can be roadworthy and complianced how could they be classified as illegal?

Those as with mine block very little of the forward view, if you look up the rule on this you might find that it says that there not allowed to hinder the drivers vision, mine is a greddy one but i have seen other ones that come a fair way out into the drivers view, the double and triple gauge mounts come a fair way out as well.

They are legal because thats how it is.

Why do Ferrari's get away with below 100mm and more noise than 90dB?

Because thats just how it is.

Until someone fights it (ie, lots of money and time) it'll always be that way.

Im sure you could take the Gov't to court over letting on car pass ADR's and another that clearly does not. But then, who's gonna do all that? No-one.

its in the vic roads site...

its legal but has to adhere to a few guidelines...

i looked it up a year or so ago when ash possted some link.... cant really remember the specifics...

i can test that theory out for you

ive got a spare crap gauge here and we put it on ur eye adn smack it with a hammer :P

u just want to kiss him dont u?

i dunno - the boost gauge on my a-pillar doesnt block my line of vision.......

thing is though, i find that having them where you can see them is very handy for the track.....hmmm, but i suppose we are not really talking about track work here though....

I hate having anything that blocks my vision... ...And because I'm tall that includes the rear vision mirror... ...I wonder if that could be made illegal???... ...Great Ocean Road is a bitch sometimes with all those left hand bends...

I know putting your navigator right in the middle of your windscreen is illegal... ...it's also a pain in the ass for other drivers... ...Because it blocks line of sight through the car for those behind you...

how can tacho's on the a piller be illegal....yet thousands upon thousands have gprs units with a suction cap on the dash or stuck on the windscreen, what that doesnt effect vision? or doesn't cause a hazrd in an accident?

Also having a 4.5" gprs screen on the windscreen is fine, yet a tv mounted in place of a headunit is illegal to have when driving, whats the difference? you need to look at the gprs to get where your going? exactly!!!!

these laws are double standards !!!

even so a full colour display on a 3 or 4" gprs screen is larger then most tacho's.

an the tacho isnt required to be looked at by the drive, where as the the gprs is required as its used to get to a destination, so the drive in most cases needs to look down at it

with 99% having voice instructions you dont need to look at it, you would probably look at the clock as much as you need to look at the gps.

    • One other thing worth mentioning when I did this job I only jacked up the driver side as I was only doing work there, but from what I understand both wheels should be in the air when removing the sway bar links?
    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
