Hey guys,

does anyone know how long the compliance process takes?

my car arrived on the 14th of June to Australia, it's in compliance now, and its oviously been there for over a week. I just wanna get an estimate as to how much longer i have to wait to see it! :)

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

personally I tell people 4 weeks. gov turn around on paperwork and also nidrie's turnaround on providing plates are both highly variable. so yeah as quick as 2 weeks as long as 4 should be about right. I know it's hard but try not to call the poor buggers every day to ask how it's going. believe me as soon as it's ready they'll call you. they do want to get paid after all.

my car has been at the compliance workshop for a week now, and they've only just started working on it yesterday. so i'm hoping it'll be done within 3-4 weeks from now.

Mine took literally 2 days to comply, including installing the FM Expander, and then they waited about 10days for the compliance plate to arrive. I was happy until I found out today that the next boat from Brisbane to Perth is on the 9th of July. :(

Quick unrelated question (please dont get mad), I am guessing that the car will have only been driven a very small amount in the months leading up to arriving in Perth, so would people suggest just filling it up with a tank of BP Ultimate or having it serviced?? When I bought my Series 8 RX7 the dealer said that it still had Japanese fuel in it, which he said is much higher quality than Australian Fuel, so I should fill it up with 98 octane straight away. I am guessing/hoping that the Compliance Workshop would have changed the oils and other fluids but this is something that I havent really thought about until now. I actually thought that I was just paying a couple of thousand $$$ to have a plate bolted to the engine bay....can anyone tell me if they should be doing what you could almost call a "minor service" on it?

Cheers

Al

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
