one of my mates who just finished doing an evo 5 transplant into a ce mirage had these hoops to jump through too, the lucky thing for him was, in his state its funded by the government or sumthin, and he only had to pay a couple of hundred dollars, if you ship your car to the eastern states to get the emissions test done im sure that would work out cheaper?

Depends on the likelyness of if it would pass here or not.

Thats not to say it would pass on the first run in the Easten States or their tests are valid here, and transport each way isn minimum about $1500 +/-, takes 2 weeks, and runs a number of risks that neitheri nsurance or the transporter will cover (unlikely but it is a factor you will contend with)

The first person to roll out of Kostecki's just has to crawl under their enviro friendly Skyline and see what cats Kostecki's use and what else they did, SAU sticky - then we can all do as much of that as posible before Kostecki's - keeps the number of re-runs and the cost down.

Hopefully they f**k this idea off real quick, and dont bring it back until more workshops can support the retarded idea for a price alot more realistic, like the Easten States have.

Hi one and all. I too am finding it funny with the Dpi department here in WA and the so called traffic police. The traffic police themselves don't even know what the actually yellow sticker the car for. I'm working for a aviation company and deal with electronics servicing of aircraft components. I was stop for doing 83km on a 80km road and he wanted dock me in for speeding. My meter showed i was doing 80 i explain and he told me ok well do you want me to yellow sticker your car for a faulty speedo meter? I was like what the F#$K.?

They don't even know what the hell they themselves are doing. What more about jap import cars. I watch the news and read the papers and time after time it the holden commordores, ford falcons that are caught more often then not for Hooning and crashing and killing ppl on the roads! So how the hell did it end up becoming the import car drivers who are they ones who Hoon?

2 years ago a report in the papers in regards to powerful cars on the road and the WA police commisioner interview compared Mitsubishi Evo 8 to a 1979 commordore. And said that the japanese car are more dangerous on the roads on WA. Can you compare a apple to a orange??

I rest my case no more need to be said you make your own decision. So high time we all switch to nothing but Holdens and Fords even if they are crap.

Ok so, what I've been thinking for a while now, is along with Brad's earlier idea (at least I think it was him anyway, can't remember who said what three pages back) and coupling with that email we all got about having to do driver training to stay in Sau, if we're getting more serious as a club (and I know i've only been around for a very short time), but wouldn't it be a good idea if we all had a set of stock parts you're likely to want to replace, and just had them set aside for pretending everybody's car is stock at the pits? For somebody with a big enough garage it'd be a synch, or we could rent one of those storage places in the middle of nowhere? I know a lot of people get busted for low coilovers and struggle to find them for the pits, or tyres or whatnot. I've got a few stock parts I've upgraded lying around and I'd be happy to contribute them to a general SAU pool of parts.

*Middle of the night idea, so if it's shit, sorry for waffling. Uni programming assignments are bollocks*

I'd be happy to contribute to the pool of parts, god knows I have too much stuff in my shed as it is :laugh: Only difficulty is finding someone with the storage space willing to let us keep our parts there.

Good idea i think, but where to keep the parts? and how will anyone go about getting somethin they need? sounds like this will turn into a skyline wreckers joint. Maybe pm or have a phone number to organise a time to pick up a part for a small rental fee where we sign on a sheet what we took and when, then all proceeds can go to skylines aus or somethin for members? i duno just thinkin out loud...

Well I imagine if we had a sticky thread of parts, and somebody just had them in their shed and you signed them in and out it'd work, maybe with a record of which parts came from whom.

I'd offer my shed, because I've got a single garage at the front of my house, and a tripple or quadruple at the back but I'm barely there, and I live with my folks in Kalamunda, and I don't think anybody would like to drive that far.

Somewhere locked would be best though, and (not trying to shanghai you into anything man) Peter's setup would be something i'd be happy with. Maybe we should start a thread asking people for ideas on it?

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
