one vehicle which looks interesting, whats your opinion on these issues for sa compliance...


button clutch --- do they care about clutches?
r33 gtr rotors using Uas caliper adapters to fit larger front rotors --- is this an issue?
Brake master cylinder stopper --- i cant imagine this being an issue but ..??
Apexi safc ---- is this something that can be disconnected for compliance reasons (and driven veeeeery carefully on stock computer)?
New wheels 18 x 9.5 (offset unsure looks about +20, on the limit of inside the guards) w semi slick tyres --- not a chance with the tires... but the wheels?

I dint think clutch will matter.

Have to check allowances with wheels.

Caliper adaptors would be a no. They would need to be engineered with a certificate.

The safc could be hidden reasonably easily.

You drive the car in and out of the ID so clutch is no problem.

You cant see the adaptors unless you put your head under the car and look up behind the wheel so cant see that being a problem, at least mask up around and paint them black.

BMS is only 2/3 bolts, might as well remove it.

SAFC as Ben said you could hide, just push up behind glove box, or it will just be wired in next to the ecu and it only 3 wires so can remove and drive gently.

They are picky about wheels/tyres. Technically its within the track allowance, but im sure somebody would have some stockies you can borrow. Ive got some wheels I use for Id checks/regency but they have different size tyres front to rear. Welcome to borrow if you want to change tyres.

ok so it looks like i have found the right car, which seems to be one of the first i looked into which gives me a better feeling about it.
one more quick question, the cars in Vic and currently registered. the vic rego means nothing to me as it gets lost when transferred to SA reg.

but, does the car need to be registered to transfer to SA or does it make no difference, as in is it the same process of ID check (and maby the other roadworthy checks) weather its regoed or not.
does having NO current rego bring up any more processes?

a little birdie told me that you can still get ID checks for sa completed at specific police stations.
not sure if this would make it easier or if its easier to just hit the pits

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
