Do the new changes apply to people that already have club reg too? My mate mentioned it tonight and seemed to think it will, which is what the mazda/rotary clubs said in their posts about it...

My mate just bought a VL calais, been in storage for 12 years, has 180,000kms, log books, in 100% original condition... Something Mohomo would appreciate....not me however.

Well because they were generally show cars or historic cars...they traditionally didn't use the road very often so why should they pay the same rego as you...

Unfortunately people abused the system and took advantage of its loopholes...So those holes have been filled

what does yours have in terms of mods etc

and how often you driving it? is it daily?

also dont think ive seen pics ?

Mods = f**kall as I lost interest after having a baby

Hamish

new rules coming into place for the club rego

you need full RWC and no mods outside VSI-8, ie exact same as having normal rego now.

so if you doing it, get in quick b4 rules change.

it's retrospective :/

Haha I reckon it's because of the mass flood of all imports becoming eligible for it.

pretty much

For an engine worth $200, and it comes with a free Micra, you seem overly worried to blow it up...

Don't listen to your pommy Micra poof mates, they don't know squat about ethanol/e85. Send me the link to your thread so I can teach them a thing or two.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
