All vehicles originally weighing less than 1100kg.

Original tare mass (kg) x 0.153

=

max. capacity in cubic inches

Original tare mass (kg) x 2.5

=

<H5 style="MARGIN: 6pt 0cm; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-list: none"></H5>

All vehicles originally weighing more than 1100 kg.

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

this shit needs to take a trip to the Wasteland!

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?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
