High mounts are illegal here right?

There's a wine red R33 on here for sale - with a high mount.

Can it be legal if it is engineered or something?

Sorry about the noobness, gotta learn...

whos car is that 4 sale, where does it say it?????????

Ya high mounts are illegal... just like low-mount non-stock turbo's are. It affects emissions.

But if it's a drag car... who cares?

I don't know any that are getting around Adelaide... but there's plenty of them interstate! No one bothers here due to no drag strip and most high mount setups are simply too laggy for the street (eg. T04z's) unless you don't mind having the turbo hit boost at 5000rpm.

youll have to go interstate for that, try the forced induction section. what exactly are you using it for, you would probably require different setups for all out drag vs all out track.

You need to speak to the right people Turbz 13

We have between ourselves and our immediate customers 1 x Twin Trust T67 GTR, 1 x Twin Trust TD06 GTR, 1 x Garrett TO4Z GTR, 1 x HKS T51 GTR, and the list goes on....and on. There are plenty out there, but you more than likely wont find them playing "Look at me!" on forums :rofl:

Pick a professional GTR proven workshop with real runs on the board, ensure you have an adequate budget, and go speak to them :laugh:

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
