Are you absolutely sure that you need a booster to be legal?

Mine hasn't got one (for the same space restrictions) and the Engineer had no problem with it at all.
Was registered in Vic and simply changed over now into QLD reg.
I'm used to it now so you just push the pedal harder 8o|

Yup , if it had one factory it has to have one , anything 1976 onwards
Unless you do the ADR test to have it certified
All you need is one cop to actually know what there talking about and your defected
But I wouldn't worry about them its QLD transport utes cruising around , those guys do know all the rules and will do you in a heartbeat

The Engineer did all the brake testing required. x number of .5g stops etc.... without fade all logged with a computer.

So hopefully no problem :P

Yes looking into the gaskets it seems the 6g73 was only available in naturally aspirated form, the only TT 6g7x series engine I can find is the 6g72

Even if the gaskets don't fit (im sure most will), its still a cheap set of head bolts and valves
Bit of luck the 72 valves are bigger than the 73 !

So did some more today

And as I have been working I have now noticed the next major issue , the clutch slave cylinder fouls on the steering and I need to relocate the mounts
So looks like cut the mount of the bellhousing and relocate it 10mm back and rotate the bolts about 30 degrees , so soon as pipes are done there's another job to put on the list

Could u stuff the internals of a starion/jap sigma box into the casing of a triton box?
It would solve ur ratio problems
