lol it's not even a public website, and it's in another language!

this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

http://www.pharosalex.com.au/pages/33achome.html.

Was a public website for comments, on reviewing the NCOP VSB 14

Must mean if it aint for review anymore they have alredy decided.

The LA1 table has always been in the VSB14, just didnt apply to LA3 modifications, I heard they moved the table in the LA document so that it will apply.

hey dumbass, that is from feb last year, and it only applies to modifications. basically it means you can't put a 427 chev engine in a gemini. has nothing to do with what the manufacturers put in their cars from the factory.

Hey thanks for the compliment, but that was when all the state heads of Vehicle Safety sections agreed to the change, or so my mate tells me.

And of course your right, every manufacturer has a V8 with a turbo or superchaged engine in their stable. Still they spent the money on R&D so they can do what they like, we wont be able to.

yes but they did the R&D on making sure that a chassis will be able to handle the power. some backyarder who puts a blown 350 chev into a torana won't know/care about whether it is going to twist the chassis every time he launches it. and he might put it in and not do any upgrades to the brakes or anything like that.

I'm not arguing for bad modifications, and I am all for manufacturers producing hot cars, turbo or otherwise.

I was just flagging impending change, to be for warned is to be for armed.

If your about to mod a V8 with a supercharger, espesially here in the west u need to know this shit.

as much fun as that would be, afraid not

although in a car that light, i think the twist of the engine when you reved it meant that if you were showing off at the lights by reving the car, if you reved it too hard it would just flip the car onto its roof, LOL

Hey VSB 14 NCOP version 2 will ban V8s being blown.

3 x tare weight = max cc allowed.

Commodore v8 1600kg = 4800cc.

Bye Bye blown V8s.

Imports will rise to the top.

Learn to read first...

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 5.0

=

max. capacity in cc's

1600*5=8000. Can you even get 8L v8s?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
