  1. Not the first time I've seen/heard of a car being registered so late after being built. Boss many moons ago brought a Starlet which was built in '91 but not registered till '93 or '94. It just simply sat dormant on the car lot basically. Got move around a few yards but no one wanted that particular car.
  2. All good. There was a thread on Toyspeed I was going to link too but the pictures are gone
  3. Common for this to happen. There will be a dry solder on the circuit board that needs fixing iirc
  4. http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/exhaust/exhaust-system#note3 92dBA
  5. I have pretty much the exact same exhaust setup on my 20v and was only around 88 decibels when it got checked by the certifier.
  6. For camshaft run in I see you guys (Kelfords) say that you should not run synthetic oil. Should I be using proper engine run in oil or just a non - synthetic oil such as Castrol Modern engine?
  7. While I remember, ended up making a straight pipe to replace the muffler for a trackday in the weekend. Result was a nice tone that wasnt raspy, was louder than before without being too intense. Was extremely happy with the outcome.
  8. I've written a letter for a customer who had an AE86 registered with the incorrect name (meant to be Corolla Levin and they had it down as just a Corolla, something to that effect). Included a copy from our parts catalogue stating what it should be registered as along with all the chassis numbers to prove. He sent it away and they ammended it no problem.
  9. Good to see you might have seen the light Sean. Looking into buying some R33 GTR rims, good man.
  10. So, depending on cerifier its possible? Excellent
  11. Have Recaro seats mounted using vehicle specific Recaro rails. The seat belt stalk comes off the rails, if going for a re-cert would the stalk need to re-mounted off the tunnel (using those belt mount plates). Or possibly get away with keeping them as is due to being reptible brand rails with all the stickers and standards?
  12. Mr kpr, can i get some light shed on my plan. Currently have 20v (stock cams, 11.5:1 compression) with A/M headers, 2.5" exhaust with two moderately sized donuts (straight through) and what i believe to be one of those turbo flow style mufflers. I like the current sound as its not raspy. But im wanting to ditch that last muffler as its waaay too quiet on track and replace it with 2.5" mild steel straight pipe. Would you say it should keep the current tone but just make it louder?
  13. Spotted these in a magazine today if you're up for a bit of a DIY http://www.meguiars.co.nz/G34/
  14. Run a piece of cardboard over mine to stop it over cooling on the street plus help it warm up quicker (winter is a bitch even with a thermostat in the filter adaptor). No issues with it burning it so far either.
  15. With the wheel size amendment on certs, can I have two sizes listed so that I can have either 15x7 or 17x7 rims on the car? Car currently has 17" alloys listed on the plate but I'd also like to be able to run 15's from time to time (track wheels are 15's and CBF changing them on the day at the track).
  16. New you had that 34, didnt realise it was on Works! Are they RP01's I spy in the first shed photo next to the Recaros?
  17. I ran Nitto's the other week in the rain at Manfeild (second event on them) and they were faultless. My car weighs roughly 1120kg, pumped the tyres up to 32psi cold and had no grip issues. Only thing to watch for would be large puddles.
  18. Any further updates for July meet? Am planning on heading along this time
  19. Was looking at this only a few months ago while visitingKen. Such an awesome car.
