If you get some one who is up onm the rules you will probably get knocked back on coil overs (only 1 or 2 brands are legal), recaro if there is not adr compliant label on it and arms if they are also not adr compliant.

Pretty certain rose joint = instant fail. So any RWC is within their right to tell you it's not in a RW condition.

Coilovers/suspension mods are ok as long as it retains a certain amount of travel. There is something listed on VicRoads website about modification under the Vehicle Standard Information (VSI). I forget what number VSI is was, it might be 8 or 12 off the top of my head.

If the seat does not recline, instant fail as well unless you re-rego as a 2 seater and remove rear belts

If you get some one who is up onm the rules you will probably get knocked back on coil overs (only 1 or 2 brands are legal), recaro if there is not adr compliant label on it and arms if they are also not adr compliant.

What coil over brands are legal ?

Tein (if sold from Fulcurm Suspensions) springs to mind, as for others, I don't have the clue.

EDIT: If brought from Japan and doesn't have ADR something, it's illegal as far as I understand.

sorry dont mean to be a k*nt but all responses were not helpful, just need a list of places to go to that know the current mod laws

dont care if i get knocked back on things that need to be changed but these guys had no clue due to the current mod laws

they passed me with coilovers, 3" turbo back while back before the new law came in

:)

Get out the yellow pages and ask them, you won't find any one recommending one as there the ones we avoid, just because the government say it's illegal don't mean shit, most of the stuff is safe it just doesn't have the adr stamp in it.

So we have told you what you will get knocked back, if you go somewhere that knows.

Would be logical to attend to it and then go to a RWC place, anywhere should do it.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
