How to get a L28 through VicRoads

[camZ]

Thanks Lurch & Benji. I rang Trevor, he laughed, said Ben had just rang before me. He tried to help but alas.

One of my concerns is if I go the engineer path they may not pass the emmissions from triple webers as they run a bit rich and the carbon cannister would probably have to connect all 3 carbies. Also I only run filters on the rocker cover and crankcase vents. Could try and find some original 1977 carbies with plumbing

Didn't think it would be such a headache! Might have to stick some 240Z Hitatchi's on there and the L26.

[Scoota G]

I can't see if you mentioned the year model. Is it 77?

[camZ]

Yeah 1977, I wish I knew more about the emission requirements 8 years ago.

75 would be a better year

[benny]

haha funny stuff!!! not to condone dodgyness but for some cash someone may write it off for you

[FuzzyDropbear]

Ah right, so it's not so much about the fact that it's an L28, but it's more that it's a post '75 car with an engine that doesn't have the emissions gear on it?

FFS - just take it to another VicRoads!!!

[GV260]

Don't forget if your seeking insurance, then a declared engineer's certificate for any mod's will be required in the event of a loss claim otherwise your policy will be null and void.

Yeah....... I'm agreeing here big time

[DatPilot]

Engine number re-stamping isnt a hard task, just get a tool maker to make you the correct "L" character as it isnt standard. detection is usually x-ray of some sort, or blue dye soaked into the number.

Ive seen an L20AET suddenly turn 350hp due to a weekend capacity increase to 3000cc and $10000 woth of mods.

[pauly_adams]

is there an engine number attached to your compliance plate as my 260z 2+2 does not have one it just has the chasie number, type of car and year of manufacturing mines a 77 model. other than that register it in nsw and go into vic roads and you can transfer it over to vic and you dont even need a inspection a little loop hole.

 

cheers pauly

 

[C.A.R.]

Are you serious Pauly?! - they can't register a car in another state unless they have residency in that state. That's not a loophole - that just stupid!

How about you keep your bright idea's to yourself & keep quiet for a while.

How can one get so angry at 6.11am in the morning.    Ha Ha you guys crack me up about how emotional or passionate you get about these cars. But we do seem to be going around in circles a bit here.

Some say he is angry 26 hours a day,

all we know that we call him "The Lurch"

[pauly_adams]

yes you can if the car is station at a residential house in nsw it can be registered my brother just went throught this with his bike because it was a written off bike and in vic you need a engineers cert before he can register it so like i said, he put down that the bike resides at my adress registed his bike in nsw then transfered to vic.

[camZ]

And the answer is.........

Regulation 8 as Benji referred to earlier.

We downloaded heaps of info on the comparison in power and how the 280z was also manufactured in 1977 in the USA.

Even copied an ebay advert for a Haynes manual covering 240z,260z & 280z.

So we got it registered this afternoon.

Thanks to all you guys for your help.

 

Here is a foto of Cam & ! with our girl. Took seven & a half years, now we can enjoy.

We will be getting better wheels and finishing off things but for a while we will just enjoy.

Lookin good.

Custom bumper. Fibreglass?

[camZ]

Thank you.

The front dam incorporates the bumper bar and is closer to body work where it wraps around under headlights. It is fibreglass.

We got it from US but modified it and the flares.

[NZeder]

great news - and excellent work on the project - so what size rubber/rim does it wear?

[Riceburner]

Nice job guys, those mirrors look great too! What are they off? Any chance of a pic of the engine bay?

[.]

Well done guys. The car does look great. Although those flares are not my cup of tea. But if it gives an excuse to wear more rubber then all good I guess. Keep up the great work.

[camZ]

At the moment the wheels are 15 by 8 with 225's. We want to go a bit bigger diameter and drop it down a bit. Wanted to get thru rego first.

The mirrors we sourced from USA. wanted ones with LED indicators as we removed the side guard indicators. I think they came from a hotrod parts supplier.

Here is the engine bay at present.

[Riceburner]

Very very cool.. Any power figures?  You should have warned us to wear sunglasses when looking at that! 

[.]

OMG That engine bay!!!!!  Wow, now everyone else, this is what an engine bay should look like.

[benny]

glad i was able to help you guys out
