Also for those that haven't heard the latest, there is a meeting planned for engineering signatories with the RTA (roads and traffic authority) next week.

There are around 70 engineers going to this meeting to discuss the proposed legislation on vehicle modifications, including the suspension regulations.

Basically they will be raising a lot of points about how silly some of the new proposed laws will be and try to explain why they are rubbish. Labor is backing the proposed laws, and the Liberals are against. Gives you something to think about voting time too...

Also they propose to raise the registration costs on older vehicles, to a point that the majority can't afford it, to get them off the road. That's under the Labor party.

Various things such as, vehicle owners, enthusiasts, the automotive aftermarket and workshops all come into play here as to whether we get to do what we enjoy and also the whole industry keeps going, or if we all end up driving white goods, with no soul, and not allowed to change anything.

That about sums it up, and that's just the start. If you guys have anything to add, please do!

Cheers

Why does a road car need to be raised / lowered more than 5cm anyway? Track specials, I can understand, but anything that is road registered doesn't need to. If you're serious enough to have a car capable of winning championshios, then it will have a shedload of other illegal mods anyway, and most likely wouldn't be much fun on the roads.

Apart from possibly WRC cars, I haven't ever seen a rally car raised anywhere near 5cm, so that's no excuse (thinking about competition vehicles that *need* to be registered).

Maybe hardcore offroaders need the extra lift, and I'm not going to argue against that. Everyone else, OTOH, well I agree that 5cm is more than enough for a road car. Maybe it will get some of these dickhead slammed civics riding on 20" chromies off our roads.

Can't always have your cake and eat it too.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
