Some of the (older) skyline guys have got together and have asked SAU NSW to look into being able to issue Historic Rego.

The rules are basically:

Car 30 years or older

Unmodified (or only "period" options and accessories)

Owner must be SAU NSW member

Club safety officer has confirmed it is roadworthy (annual check)

Can be driven to: Club events, events with other clubs, attending community events, driving to mechanic

Must be noted in the club register before it is driven

I'm not clear on the annual rego fee, but the notes say "Historic vehicles registered under this scheme are exempt from the payment of stamp duly, motor vehicle tax and national charges." If rally rego is a guide it is under $100pa including insurance

We need 5 people seriously interested to make this happen......please post up if you have something that fits the criteria and you are genuinely interested.

*edit* for race style cars under 30 yo there is another scheme called rally rego. I am chasing up the current rules with CAMS and will post up in the next few days

period mods would be say...

If an LH Torana had a drop tank, you can put a drop tank on your LH if it didnt have one.

dragway wheels/12 slotter wheels would be classed as a period mod.

If you had a 302 powered XW/XY from factory, you would not be able to put a 351 in there and put it on club rego. (some people do though, cheeky buggers...)

best thing about the 302 and 351 is. all u gotta do is pull out the engine and change the crank, rods and pistons to 351 items and put your 302 block back in..... same block. engine numbers will match and all.... just a 351.

We did this to my old mans XC ute. after a while he woke up sold that and brought a XA GT haha, not muc'n round....

As long as its an originakl "k" code motor, its all good :D

With Historic rego too guys, its DIRT cheap for comprehensive insurance with a specialty insurer, if I ever had a classic, it would go onto this rego.

    • Exhaust end of this month, and then tune after that whenever there is availability. Still tossing up between a pure 98 tune or a flex 98/e85 combo.  The (lack of) milage in e85 isnt great. Start to get anxiety if i go for a long drive and there arent any united servo's nearby
    • I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.
    • Good afternoon Team , just a quick update on performance mods  Current Mods list (Installed) HKS - Power Editor (Came with the car) looks to be some kind of boost controller RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back  RV37 Skyline 400R (SKYLINE) | FUJITSUBO  - Front Pipe AMS  - INFINITI Q50/Q60 RED ALPHA COLD AIR INTAKE KIT AMS  - Performance Heat Exchanger Intercooler Not Yet AMS Alpha Performance Full Race Down Pipes  - to be installed in May 
    • I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.
    • Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.
