so yeah.. looks like im joining the ranks of the ceffy owners...

buying a drift set up ceffy, nothing too crazy but with the right gear, it has import approval and what not and when it gets to adelaide i want to comply and register it aso i can drive the bloody thing.

can people give me a detailed rundown on what exactaly needs to be fitted to comply it?

also, in regards to the side intrusion bars, i rather not fork out the 1000 thats needed to get them put in, is there a way (dodgy) around getting it registered without? since they dont check under the door trims.

fill me in guys.

if people in adelaide are able to lend me the required stock parts that would be awesome! Alcohol provided!

Cheers

Simon

Gday Simon - glad you ended up with a cefiro.

There is a good way - don't register it.

What I don't get though is why the f**k wouldn't you want side intrusion bars? You can get kits if you want to save money but sif you wanna be t-boned and find out the hard way that they are used for a good reason.

I'd even argue that they'd be a good idea even if you weren't getting it rego'ed.. I mean you're takin it on the track!!

Other info for complying is available in the regulation/importing section of the forums.

Hey Mate

Good to hear ya got a cef they are possibly the best like even better than well you know :lol: :D ,

The S.A fellas are pretty strict on the whole compliance thing i'm sure youd know how they are if youve had any dealings with TSA mob of idiots.

Things that need to be done:

Adelaide Compliance Centre 83690776 he tends to answer his mobile more though 0427717686 he will supply Intrusion Bars, Child Restraints x3, and Fuel Filler neck last time I paid $280.

If your a good welder you can weld these in yourself and have them engineered when done Doug Potts will engineer it for $150 I think it changes with where you live its cheaper just to go to his office in wayville he came to victor harbor for me at that price 82723156.

Cefiro seatbelts pass standard anyways being that they are elrvw as long as there in good nick no tears,frays etc. I think most nissans pass this except silvia rears etc but besides that.

Child restraints are pretty easy lined up with the centre of each seat mounted on flat surface but not to close to the speakers Two pop rivets in each has passed me everytime.

Fuel filler most exhaust shops will do this just pull out the neck and take it to them with the restrictor they flare it out bang it in and walla restricted cost me $5 at my local place last time.

Ceffys height must be 360mm F and 375 R coilovers are legal as long as there set at that height with the dual nut system so they can not be easily adjusted as with single nut coilovers they need a weld in the thread etc this has to be spot on my mate failed cause he had 357 in the fronts there so mean sometimes. :D

Everything else is pretty much the same as a defect inpsection, Yellow lights not allowed to work, power steering reack boots not spilt, all bushes in good cond, no leaks, good tyres, rails straight no major dints thats a pretty major one.

As for the standard gear I also have all that but am about to use it I got defected to low to loud :lol: :) but youre welcome to it when i finish whih should hopefully be within two weeks

Good Luck Buddy

Hello Again

yeah you wont have much leaniency I live 80 summin k's away so they make me visit murram bridgee or they come to Victor, Strath or Goolwa so yer its only if you like way outback that you get the cop shop thing i think even whyalla and port pirie and the like get visits from the inspectors so youll be stuck with a good ol regency inspector from what ive heard the dudes at actual regency are actual doofuses to deal with the fellas ive had out here have been nice and let me off with lil things so i suppose it all depends

Yeah there is no way of avoiding regency.

I used a company called Rory Thompson Eng he carried out all the mods along with a full Engineers report for $1,100 he is in SA . All you need to do then is make the car as standard as possible , suspension needs to be non adjustable and factory height, nice quiet pee shooter exhaust, wheels no bigger than 17" and not to wide.

Unless your lucky enough to find standard Cefiro suspenion , all I did is buy r32 spings and shocks for the rear and 180sx front struts with a 20mm spacer in between the strut and the body of the car for the front, along with some standard wheels.

Borrow a atmo exhaust it will bolt straight up to a turbo Ceffy.

Make sure you have no oil leaks, rust and make sure the chassis rails are straight with no major dents.

Frist time I went through I failed because the ride height was 10mm to low at the front, so I fitted the 20mm spacers.

At regency it all depends on the inspector you get on the day, I had a complete asshole the frist time , second time no worries.

Just try to suck up their ass and you should be fine.

intrusion bar kits are available from QLD, although most workshops won't sign them off unless they've fitted them.

Compliance for a cef in melbourne's around $1100 for all 4 door. Although we don't have to have seatbelts changed.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
