ive had 7 in a rexy once. 4 back and two guys sitting on each other on the passengers. I had to do a random breath test and the constable didnt know what to do. called his superior officer over and he scratched his head for a bit then let us go. everyone had their seatbelts on even the two at the front...ha. never did anything like that again after that.

I thought that if your car was rego,d as a 5 seater you could only have 5 in the car, I was going to put a 1/2 cage in my car but was told that i would have to remove the rear seats and have the car reclassed as a 2 seater as they said it was unsafe for the passengers in the rear with the bars there.

???????????????????

Stupid laws.

Hahaha love that pic of the mini Sam ;)

I was also under the impression that if your car was rego'd as a 5 seater (or whatever) that was the most you could carry.

....*Considers turning the GTR into a maxi-taxi* :D

Im not sure if people have read it wrong but at the moment you can have 8 people in a car, as long as everyone is wearing a seat belt. Meaning 2 or 3 people per seat belt, not - all seat belts being used and then people also not wearing belts. The law will be changed by the end of the year though ive heard.

From all the articles and vision ive seen and heard, not once have they mentioned that 8 people were wearing the belts, meaning yes the other people not using the belts can be done for not wearing them, christine nixon has come out and said there is a technicality in the law saying as long as everyone is wearing a belt, it is not illegal. Not saying that if 5 people in a car are wearing a belt, 2 more can sqeeze in even if they arnt wearing one.

Just clarifying it cos the thread reads the illegal way.

LOL we were all in the car and a coper pulls up next to us at the lights.

i saw them in the side mirrors and said" EVERYONE GET THE f**k DOWN" and litterally, everyone got down.."except for those sitting in the seat with their seat belts.

i was surprised at why they didnt pull us over

I didn't know 2-door Lancers were sports cars either! Wonders will never cease.

Yeah, that pissed me off reading that. :D

In regard to the 8 people being legal.

I thought a car was licensed to carry so many people? and that was the limit? ;)

Like if you put a rear roll bar in (over the rear seats) then you can legally register it to carry only 2 people (front two) ??

EDIT: Whoops, beat me to it.

Whether it's legal or not, commen sense dictates you don't squeeze 8 people in a car without 8 seats.

I am currently involved in the care of one of the passengers. She has multiple injuries, and needs a tube down her throat on a breathing machine in intensive care. Not pretty. Be careful guys.

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.
