Bombsquad Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 as for emissions - yes im told that any engine repower/swap/induction change (even if swapping the same motor back in) is now subject to emissions test Holy mother of crap are you serious?? not impressed at this news at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 it's basically just to ensure there's no serious polluters on the road - the test isn't as harsh as it is in say Australia or the US. Most cars should be able to pass it - except rotaries probably haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah its not an emissions test per se, it just checks your car isn't running hugely rich, or blowing lots of oil (as far as I am aware). They don't test NOx etc. So any properly running motor will pass no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Although I think if you car was originally equipped with a cat converter and if you cert the car for an engine conversion, the car needs to retain a cat converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 it just checks your car isn't running hugely rich, or blowing lots of oil Haha my 13b would have read off the charts actually would have been keen to test it for a laugh. Thats sweet if its not too harsh, I was worried about them going crazy and making people refit emissions control gear etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofreq Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 wheels back on now. front needs lower by about 1.5cm. will do this when i get my hub locating rings for these .com mags, which are on the way this week. i actually wound the fronts completely down, and it got this low but with tyres spraying rubber over the fenders when you turn, and suspension arms on bumpstops making it quite undriveable. final height should be 2/3 between this and the above current height. tints coming next, and some new LED bulbs, also sorting some more professional photos, need to find an appropriate location somewhere tho if anyone knows a cool location around aucks lemme know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Did this not have an airbag? Or did you just pwn it off for that wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAWLES Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 they do man easy as to take off tho just require a airbag canceller boss kit to remove the blinky red light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofreq Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 SAFC still in glovebox, not wired up yet. will need to soon, as it runs rough on boost. suspect leaning out/knocking due to lack of fuel from the 1G pump, which i will upgrade later. airbag wheel is in the boot - i chucked on a bosskit from the jzx90 parts car and the wheel, extended the horn connector by manually running a length of wire round the boss kit innards, and my "airbag canceller" involved pulling the bulb outta the dash permanently. certification states you can only remove an airbag steering wheel out of a car only if it is 14yrs old or older, and if you do, you need to also disable every other airbag in the vehicle (passenger airbag, side airbags etc) and you need to sign a disclaimer stating you have done so, have a warning sticker attached to each area where the airbag has been removed, and pay an additional $50 on the cert cost to cover all this. my car is 1996 which JUST got in under the age restriction, so no problem removing the wheel for me. if i had the old wheel id be crashed by now, its horrendous, way too slippery to grip, and the spokes are so fat that its real difficult to spin and grab it real quick during switches/manji's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanfels Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Looking for a carpark this morning getting to work, decided to U-turn up a hill (Hereford St right outside my work).Hill has heavy camber rolloff either side, and was wet. Rolled to 90degrees around, then on a blip of power, arse came out..., “fell” off to the left down into the camber of the road, into the curb. once it came out there was nothing stopping it falling off into the ditch and curb. weight of all my tools/parts in the boot did not help the momentum. should have taken the starlet to work. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
