how do they go for comfort kris?

drove a evo 7 with bc a few weeks ago

damper was set down and fark me it was soft, like driving a normal car (especially compared to the stiff standard shocks of my car)

very nice ride though and can get them really stiff if you want

sweet! thanks very much guys!

i tried the method that leigh suggested and worked a treat - took a few little nicks out of the plastic and you can see how they are a lighter more grey colour than the black rubber/plastic

but still looks much nicer without the weathersheild!

so ill try one of those tomorrow - all avaliable from autobarn im guessing?

yeah autobarn.

You apply the liquid onto the rubber. Let it rest for a minute or so. Then buff it into the rubber. Crucial to let it rest for a minute or so, get best results that way. It does create streaks on windows/paint work. Can be removed wth Mothers Showtime

Non-original electronic chips or computers, whether

fitted as a direct replacement or in a ‘piggy-back’

configuration, are not permitted to be used in an

engine management system unless it can be

demonstrated that their installation and use allows

the vehicle to meet the appropriate ADR. They must

also be sealed or otherwise constructed so as not to

be reprogrammable.

So when going to an EPA inspection, arent you demonstrating that it meets/exceeds emission requirements and achieving ADR? It doesnt say that it must be ADR certified, just that it can meet it? Having Nistune would mean it is sealed and cant be reprogrammed without a license. Sounds plausable?

Also scanning over the EPA doc;

http://epanote2.epa.vic.gov.au/EPA/Publica...6;FILE/1031.pdf

Only mention of aftermarket turbo is below:

Note: aftermarket turbocharging kits that

include intercoolers that have been type

tested (ADR certified) for the model vehicle

are permitted. Documentary proof must be

retained to substantiate this.

What if it isnt a turbocharge kit incl intercooler? Being a 20yr old car, obviously brand new factory replacements can be argued as not available and hence an aftermarket replacement has to be fitted?

Also:

Alternative, replacement or aftermarket EFI systems

are not permitted unless ADR certified for that

particular vehicle make and model.

Extra or larger fuel injectors are not permitted.

This i believe is referring to fitting an aftermarket EFI system onto a carby engine.

There is no mention of aftermarket injectors not allowed only mention of larger/extra injectors.

So this means that bosch/denso equivelent injectors can be fitted so long as they arent larger. How can EPA check the size of the injectors anyways?

hmmmmmmmmmm

Any modification is permitted provided that it can be

shown, by way of test1 or engineering reason, to

show that the modification would not be expected to

cause an increase in emissions beyond a similar,

unmodified vehicle.

1 Test procedures used for demonstrating compliance

must be to the ADR applicable to the vehicle model. A

simple exhaust emission test at idle, steady speeds or

using an IM240 procedure is not acceptable.

hmm bummer

hey leigh, ive got a question for you mate. with your new coilovers how do you go with with adjusting the stiffness of it. is it done from the top of the coilover? and if so does it get annoying having to remove the back seats to adjust it? thats the only thing thats going to piss me off with mine i think.

^^ thats what i ordered. which model u get?

the BR series (gold) pretty much from my research in general just made from better products then the other slightly cheaper one I think.

I got suspension place to set up for street / track every 3 months and they did a good job i think, its really nice to drive now as a daily I do about 70km so suspension stiffness on my old Teins was a real back breaker, now it feels so much better I cant describe it you don't feel every little paint strip on the roads lol and yet when you turn sharp into or hard into something it still responsive and seems to handle itself.

Yo yo, I havn't adjusted it at all cost me like 300 all up with a wheel alignment and height adjustment to lowest legal, they setup the stiffness on what you say I told them I will be using it mainly for street and a bit of track work so they did so quite well I think (traction tyres in rowville) so couldn't answer your question apart from recommending to get someone else to do it, because they gave me a sheet with camber % and all these different readings which I had NFI about, and even if I did how the hell would one get into that much detail in there own garage with a jack.

    • 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.
