I am trying to find out what car mods are illegal in SA.

I have looked on the net and can't seem to find any real answers.

In SA you can pretty much get away with anything. Insurance is the big thing... I reckon SA cops wouldn't care if you had a B-52 propulsion jet tied to your roof with an ocky-strap.

When I lived there I never had any issues with my bike - a hotted up GSX 750 with the loudest Yoshimura system on the planet.

Got pulled over for a friendly chat by a member of the state constabulary one night for getting frisky with a TT Supra driver on Cross Rd, and all he wanted to know was how much power we were making, and how much we'd spent on our respective vehicles. Even had a nice look under the bonnet of the Supra, and commented positively on the bloke's fantastic setup and gargantuan turbos.

Then came the question - he turned to the Supra driver and asked, "are you gonna get a bike now mate?"

But, to be fair, it was only one cop and he doesn't speak for the entire force and the state's laws...

SA is very relaxed, but dont they have anything on the Department or Transport or Roads and Traffic website for SA?

Yeah i've only been stopped once by a cop on a bike for random breath test. But it only takes that one cop for the defect.

There is a transport site but no where on it does it say about modifications to cars.

All i want to know is are intercoolers, bfi, boost controllers, gauges etc...... legal or illegal to drive with.

Also if you can get a permit or have them engineered??

no way are cops relaxed down here. I'm guessing its the same as every other state. Chances are if you mod your car then its illegal. Don't drive like a knob and don't make your mods obvious and you shouldn't have to much trouble. Its not a skyline so you wont get harassed to bad.

Principal reason NOT to own a Skyline! Or any JDM Nissan for that matter...
