ke70dave Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 i have just discovered this set of documents: http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb_ncop.aspx seems it was only updated in january 2011 as well. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Posted December 20, 2011 That is awesome and should be sticky'd. Quote
ke70dave Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 its still pretty vague though. under code LA3, which is turbo charger or super charger addition. mentions that brakes need to be "suitable upgraded to handle the increased power" so you still need an engineers oppinoin to find out the requirements.... ive just asked that mod plate bloke about it, hopefully i get a decent answer.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Posted December 20, 2011 I suppose with the amount of possible conversions they can't be ultra specific. Quote
mrduke Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 what size exhaust and what mufflers has it got. not 100% happy with the sound of mine. mine sounds a bit tinny,not as throaty as i'd like. could be the standard exhaust manifold,have 2.5 inch primaries and 2.25 inch exhaust from there. maybe another small muffler or thermowrapping primaries might help. what ya reckon?

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Posted December 21, 2011 Honestly I haven't really checked out the exhaust. It does sound amazing though. It looks like headers to a 2.25 central sports muffler over diff to another sports muffler then to twin hotdogs and 'drift pipes' which I'm assuming give it its awesome growl. Very easy to drive it quietly but once you floor it and hit 4k rpm... Wow. Quote
BUZ440 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 It did sound good when i was behind you back over the hill, can tell its a twin cam, I would say 2.25, muffler before diff, then hotdog resonator with a tip Does it have a CAT? Quote
mrduke Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 just one muffler after diff,no cat. might get a hotdog put in under car where front muffler usually goes and see how that goes. :hmm: Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Posted December 21, 2011 These.. to this... to this... to these. Quote
BUZ440 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 Thats not all that bad, just the look part i guess, Where is that fuel pump and filter placed, before the diff? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Yeah under the drivers side passenger area. Might make a stone shield for it today at work. Gotta lose those drift pipe tips for sure Edited December 21, 2011 by blzbub666 Quote
BUZ440 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 possibly relocate?, but a shield will be good, Even just one single side pipe? Quote
JJT036 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Sidepipe straight from the extractors. :yes: Quote
BUZ440 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Sidepipe straight from the extractors. :yes: haha tractor? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Posted December 29, 2011 Stereo/central locking install progress so far. Spotlight didnt have any black vinyl so I'm just painting the front door MDF for now. The tacky way he had done it. So many wires. Quote
