why waste money making the car street legal if you only use it at the track?

Because it's f**king awesome?

I drive my ceffy everywhere. engine conversion, shocks, fmic, low as shit, will have a half cage with lots of sponsor decals very soon. it will still be daily driven after that.

It's either man up and mod permit your car (with the advantage of full comprehensive insurance), or let your wrists flop and get a trailer and tow hack

Before this breaks into a another Royale of retards vs Ceffy drivers, lets settle this nicely.

This guy has two options depending on his income:

Register all the mods legally and no stress

Buy a trailer and tow it

or option c: just keep driving it as it is!

ffs is not that hard, if you get yellow then oh well hand the plates in and get a trailer.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

and yes i do agree its f**king awesome to drive a track shitter on the street, because what better way to get around then a fuel hungry, attention grabbing car

Yeah but the day will come when it gets a yellow sooner or later, so might as well trade the plates in and get an ass hauling rig.

THAT makes life easier when you blow something up at the track and need to drag it home, tow trucks arent cheaper than your own trailer.Not to mention you can have more obvious work done to your track car, ie weld in cages, screamer pipes, straight through exhausts, etc.

Anybody serious about drifting / track cars is on DriftWA, not here, which is why alot of you guys are going to get massacred trying to make sense.

your mods don't have to be legal to have full comprehensive insurance just means that won't be cover in an accident.

if your mods ARE legal, then they are covered. AND are legal. so you won't get stickered. legally.

not sure what answer you're looking for. my answer is - nothing. at all. ever.

and they're not that fuel hungry if you stay off boost. which is something us responsible, respectable hoons can do quite well.

lol im not looking for an answer i guess you miss my point. way off topic as it is, so no point saying anymore.

btw my shitter comment wasn't directed at your car, just what i use

my points have been made, and still mega on topic. topics are b-class registration vs mod permits vs de-rego and tow it around.

It IS still licenced for the road but i was wondering if id be able to get a permit to drive it to get work done on it, to avoid trouble with the police, yellow sticker etc etc..

Could i tell the licencing center its un registered to obtain a permit? or would they be able to give me one even tho the car remains licenced?

But when the cops pull you over, and see your car IS registered.. they could just sticker it anyway.

Just drive it man. If you get a sticker and don't want to make the car street legal then hand the plates in.

PS. Does anyone know, if you get a sticker and just want to hand the plates in.. does it cost you anything? Or do you just go hand in the plates, and take the yellow off yourself?

i'm not 100% sure but i think permits, b-rego will be class as the normal 3rd party for personally injury. with regards to property, i would say you would need to look a specialize insurer that does race cars

cheers !!!

i get towed to drift practice/comps by my mate... but im looking to get one of those year long permits (costs just under $50) so i can take the 32 to No Limits (a CAMS scrutineered event), due to the fact i dont need to bring spare tyres, jacks etc to No Limits.

but yeh, if i cant get 3rd party insurance (not the one with regos) for the 32 when its on permits, then theres no point driving on the road

If you go to a Licensing centre to get a permit, they will need either the plate number or Eng/Vin # and the records will show up the the vehicle is rego'd, so your best bet is to either put in on a car trailer to get it there or drive it there very carefully.

As long as the vehicle is rego'd and it is "road legal" or "roadworthy" as the police would say, then you will be fine.

So, you can't get a permit for the car coz it's rego'd :D

Whenever you purchase a temporary permit, you have 48hours in which the permit is active, however the permit is only valid if you are driving to/from where you have written down on the permit.

With regards to 3rd party insurance on rego and permits - if you are at fault in a motoro vehicle accident, your car is rego'd and your driver's licence is valid, and you injure another person in the accident, then the gov't 4rd party insurance covers the cost of personaly injury only. As i'm sure most of you are aware, 3rd party insurance for damage to private property etc is only through private insurance companies.

SKYRYAN - If you get a yellow sticker and want to de-register your car, you just hand in the number plates and take the sticker off yourself. It doesn't cost anything. If there is any remaining registration on the vehicle when you hand in the plates, you can fill in a Vehicle Licence Refund Form and get a cheque for the amount of rego remaining.

You still have to take it over the pits to re-register it though....

i dont know why this thread is still going, was answered ages ago.

basically- he's scared to drive it on the road,

asked about moving permit- they are for unrego'd cars only- he says "i want to keep it rego'd"

there u go.

frankly i dont know what the problem is, says its basically stock with some interior removed and big stickers.

even if got a yellow sticker it wouldnt be hard to get it off.

also, if thats the specs of a 'drift car'-does anyone know of a skyline on the road that wouldnt fall under that category?

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
