I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

Haha dude, you get different stories from each staff member in Transport SA. I got a permit once for the GTR ages ago when it wasn't registered yet, and the girl behind the counter told me I was not allowed one due to having no registration. After arguing with her and then her manager, I was allowed the permit (I was transporting the car to and from a mechanic - the car had a compliance plate, so it's fine). But she said "you're not allowed to stop the car anywhere along any roads or turn off on any other roads unless specified here" and I said "What if I had to go to the toilet and had to turn off?" she said "No. You cannot turn off onto any other roads".

Yet a few weeks later, I got another permit and put down all these different stops and roads and never got questioned... he even gave it to me at a super cheap price (must have gotten it wrong somehow).

Transport SA have no idea. Just go there and cross your fingers that the muppet behind the desk actually knows how everything works. Just try waiting in line at Service SA in the city and you're bound to hear a handful of complaints from angry people saying "But on the phone, I got told..." and "I want to speak with your manager! No! I will write to my local minister about how shocking your customer service is!".

you're allowed more than one stop as long is it listed in your route and as long as the stops are related to the vehicle's repair or final destination.

Laws changed not long ago regarding permits for unregistered vehicles possibly due to constant CTP issues

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
