Hey guys I can't search on my phone so I'm sorry if this has been covered.

I just rang transport sa regarding coilovers and they said they need a enginers report to be legal, where should I go in sa to get this done? And is it gonna be stupid expensive?

This question is probably better suited for the South Australian section of SAU. But, http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/pdfs/safety/defective_vehicles.pdf doesnt infer that coilovers specifically need to be engineered but I've never been through regency & I dont have coilovers :P

Moral of the story is don't ring transport and if you get asked (unlikely) just say it came like that from Japan and is stock on that model of Stagea.

Ha! I love it. This is exactly what i am goin to tell the local filth when I get pulled over in mine :rolleyes:

Not sure about SA but in the ACT a few years back you needed an Engineers Report, then it was changed to if you had them fitted you had to take it to dickson RTA "pits" only, now they have been relaxed so much that they are considered the same as lowered springs but if a car is defected for being too low and comes in to clear the defect and its at a normal height, you have to mark the coil over threads with paint so next time they can see if they've tampered (aka slammed it again) with them and they get a slap on the wrist

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
