Hey guys, ive got a car that i need to get complied but im not exactly sure what needs to be done to it...

its had the side intrusion bars done in the doors. its got all new tyres and will have new seatbelts and exhaust as well soon. changed the pod for original airbox. i think i have to change the fuel filler aswell.

im looking to get the compliance done myself. the car falls under the 15 year rule aswell...

it doesnt need child restraints as the car is only a two seater.

i live in south australia and the car is a mazda rx7 fc convertible. (i know its not a skyline but good help is hard to find, so why not ask some import lovers :)

any help would be appreciated, Thanks Brendan...

sounds pretty good what you're listed already.

Just to clarify, you imported this car before the 15 year scheme changed to the pre '89 scheme, right? Or is it a pre-89 anyways?

Brendan, you'll need to go into TransportSA and ask for a Statement of Requirements.

They've got generic forms that go through the ADRs you'll need to meet to get the car registered, but unfortunately they're not available anywhere else apart from Regency, from what I can gather. Perhaps try your local first.

yeah im pretty sure its either an 86 or an 88... do you know if i just take the car to regency and they fit the compliance plate?

Thanks...

They do an identity check there too, I believe, but Iron Chef is your best resource for this.

Also, the pre-89 scheme is supposed to come in with an import approval from DOTARS, did you get this? Or possibly it was imported before 2004?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
