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.

    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer. 
    • Hi all,   suspect this is a common problem. I think I missed 4th gear a bit when I shifted down from 5th. Now it grinds into 4th with the downshift. Is it the sychro and what do I need to replace when I open the gear box up?    added a photo of my new titanium intake I just installed and built. 👍💪
