The NSW RTA is proposing changes to the current registration system for modified vehicles. These changes will mean that the majority of modified vehicles will be classified as individually constructed and will have to comply with the ADR's current on the day that it goes for registration. Please follow the link below and sign the petition to assist us in taking the fight to the NSW Transport Minister.

Lifted this off another forum. Would be worth spreading around to whatever forums you guys go to. Under this law it would make it near impossible to modify and older vehicle.

A car should comply with ADRs if it wants to be registered, but this would require a car from the 80s to comply with 2010 ADRs to be considered 'roadworthy'.

signing this petition will only give them numbers of how many people have modified cars, it wont actually change their minds. i was listening to the process of how a bill is passed. at no point do they say "are there any petitions against this legislation?". they read the bill and its positive effects, what it intends to do and as soon as they say "emissions this, emissions that", it will get passed. dont forget these are people who get driven around and/or have a car that is no more than 1 year old.

what you SHOULD do is get an engineers certificate for a modified car that fits in this category before this is passed, because if this bit of legislation comes in, the next step is to make it harder for older cars to obtain one.

Signing does help... especially when it comes close to state elections and what not and number matter.

The gaming R18+ classification is finally going to be actioned after parliament acknowledged a petition.

So, where are the proposed rule changes listed? There's no link to where the details are in the petition, and I'd personally like to see them to see what we're up against.

      Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.
