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

Yeah might be keen.

Mine is a s2 auto rs4

if his don't fit give me a call, mine is also s2 auto rs4

keen as to get rid of my standard struts, comes with standard springs and fully hektik cut springs too!

might even sort out a cash adjustment for ya depending on condition!

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • 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"...
