Tosh, what's the go with that? Do you know of any doco on the personal import rules? Planning to move to japan in a year, would like to bring back something with me. :)

yeh I have the RTA Documentation for PI's

I printed it and have it in my car all the time.... I think I lost the PDF though :D

I have a suspicion that the documentation is only applicable to NSW though.... so it might be different for QLD.

Basically you have to own the car O/S for 12 months and provide all sorts of proof papers when you come back home...

Do you know that PI cars DO NOT HAVE TO CONFORM TO ANY ADR RULES.

Do you that that effectively makes you IMMUNE to any sort of defect - doesn't matter if it's noise, emissions whatever.

Sooo...

I'm thinking I import an R34 GT-R V-Spec and make it fullee... I mean top mount super single HKS T51R SPL, no cat, 115dB muffler, 20" rims, carbon panels, neons flashing all the time, no seatbelts, caged, stripped interior, big fark off venting BOV, Omega stickers all over it and you point to the GOLD coloured compliance plate and the cops can't do shit.

And take a slow cruise down da Chapz...

T.

Tony that's not correct.....

The car has to meet safety standards so while I can't get defected under ADR's I can if the stuff is unsafe.

And Emissions still have to be met, while the RTA rules may be VERY lenient, the EPA are not...

    • 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:
