MRWEST Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks, that sounds like what im after, was it an off the shelf item? Yep they come in a range of sizes and spline counts. I got mine from Kruzen Kustoms in Palmy, they were the cheapest by a fair bit when i shopped round. Cant remember what brand mine is but see link below http://www.ididitinc.com/accessories-3/Borgeson_Acc-24 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Mx5s have a splined steel universal on steering shaft may fit rx2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 IMO here is the order of best to worst- I would look at swapping columns if you have a S3 one, use a joint out of a production vehicle if you want an aftermarket one, use one with a pinch bolt setup, use one with 2 grub screws as a last resort. i would say half the aftermarket flaming river/borgeson joints i see have play because they have come loose on the spline or shaft. OE style ones out of japanese cars never seem to cause an issue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Quick question, When the 64 was vinned iv just noticed they have registered it as a 5.3L however it had the LS1 in it when it went for both vin and cert. Cert plate says 5.7, should the vin/car rego be reading 5.7 as well"? sometimes takes a while to be updated after the cert is processed. if you want to get it changed yourself its quite easy, go to testing station with your cert plate number , get a 'change of vehicle details' form, fill it out, done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OE style ones out of japanese cars never seem to cause an issue Yeah i have what i believe is a s3/4 rx2 column. Is it an engine out job to swap? Factory rubber joiner thing has bolts through both ends, would only use a joint with the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plox Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So I took the car for a cert, one of the items it failed on was that it needs a heat shield between master cylinder and exhaust (turbo housing). Would a turbo beanie meet the requirement? (I asked him but he wasn't sure how good they were and said he would need to be able to hold has hand in between them after going for a decent drive) For those not familiar with Subaru's, picture below (sorry about the photo, I was trying to work out what master cylinder I had): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelo.

~Slideways~ Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Could you please clarify a couple of these rules around fuel line proximity to exhaust bits? 10.8.3 Flexible fuel hoses fitted to a low volume vehicle must not be positioned within 100 mm (4”) of the outside edge of any adjacent exhaust system unless suitably heat-shielded. What is 'suitably heat-shielded.'? On my car I've fitted a 1jzgte to a 180sx which means the turbo downpipe is on the same side as the fuel lines so is definitely within 100mm of the exhaust. I've already wrapped the downpipe in exhaust wrap but is there a point/distance that it will be failed even if I add some alloy sheet to make an air gap? I thought about running the fuel lines on the other side but S13's are weird, the chassis rail on the passenger side doesn't run the whole way, so the fuel line would be exposed. The other option I've thought about is running line inside the car but I'm unsure about this one. 10.8.5 Rigid fuel pipe or flexible purpose-designed automotive braided stainless steel covered hose may be located within the passenger compartment of a low volume vehicle, provided that: (a) the hose cannot come in contact with either the driver or other vehicle occupants during normal vehicle operation; I've already run some line from the standard fuel line over the firewall to the other side but if the section near the exhaust fails the cert rules. Then I'll need to look at running new fuel line inside (not sure what to do about the brake line since its next to the drivers side chassis rail and new exhaust as well). If I was to run it inside, can you clarify 10.8.5 A in red? It would be secured every 300mm but does this rule mean the passengers foot can't touch the line? i.e. it needs to be boxed in? Thanks muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moffmo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If i bought some seats from another car and fitted them into my van, by drilling new holes into the mount where the rails are attached. Would that be OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks muchly. If it was me i would heat shield the factory pipes rather than moving them inside the passenger compartment, ive never been a fan of having the fuel in the same space as the humans, even if it is allowed. Also making heat shields or using some of that sleeve type heat wrap over the pipes seems easier to me than re routing and attaching them correctly If you have wrapped the exhaust, and make an alloy shield, and there is an air gap, i think that would be fine.

Would that be OK? anything other than bolting it in as per this http://lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/LVVTA_LVV_Cert_Threshold.pdf needs cert, and then you would have to comply with this http://lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Seats_&_Seat_Anchorages.pdf If you adapt the seat to bolt to the original anchorages in the floor, the cert requirements are fairly easy If you drill holes etc in the body, you will need to make new anchorages, which depending on your skill level, can be quite challenging.

Thanks cletus. That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. To modify the seat to bolt into the existing bolt holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggsRX Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Can someone please explain to me how the latest black 1974 808/rx3 on trademe can have an 808 firewall stamp but be registered as a rx3 on the cert plate?? Pretty sure the window rego must say rx3 too. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ya say it's an rx3 and they write rx3 on the form and then print rx3 on the tag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggsRX Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ya say it's an rx3 and they write rx3 on the form and then print rx3 on the tag. So technically I could list my Ford falcon as a rx3? Also he said there is no option for 808. Still a little confused here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
