what lach 32 said about the anti bacterial spray is your best starting point mate.. Its worked on all of my cars 3 of them being r32's and its cheap, just get maybe 2 cans of glen 20..

ok cheers everyone for your ideas and input. A friend of mine is turning me up a couple of mm thick plate to sit under the strut tower. When he started measuring my car up etc he laughed because he measured his vt ss with stock suspension and from any point you want to measure the thing sits lower to the ground than my skyline. Seriously i wish there was something that could be done about this whole unfair discrimination of our cars thing!!Something interesting iv also found out today is that apparently the police cannot defect me for no tune up placard.. Ill be looking into this and maybe make a complaint against the officers, not that it will do any good most probably.. Cheers again people!

Thing is i dont know if its just my stock suspension or all r32's stock suspension. Im going to ring nissan and ask for the stock measurements as they come from japan and compare them like you have suggested to do. As most people probably know already regency park inspection station has a very bad rep when it comes to being inconsistant with rules etc.. Iv experienced this when complying my last car. 1st time in, they failed a number of things, 2nd time around i went in my security uniform on way to work and they must of taken this as meaning im a more responsible person or something and they ticked off the very things they had failed no questions asked., and on top of this they were much kinder to me the 2nd time around.,lol.. Theyr forever changing their rules and regs and whats acceptible and whats not!!I think this is just another case of that happening hey.

lol cheers fellas, yeah i tried the jacking up idea last night but it seems as soon as i drive the car it resets back to normal. I just rang regency though and he has told me that they see skylines all the time with brand new suspension from nissan that fall under the 360mm measurement. He said that the only test they will be doing to determine ride height is this one i speak of not actual ground clearnace. The guy i spoke with rekns that they often see near new holdens failing this test even... Its a pretty anal way of doing it i think. Grrrr.. im thinking now of maybe somehow making the seat of the spring thicker by just a couple of mm just as a temp fix. any idea if this would work ?

nah fuel was just above empty unfortunatly. yeah suspension is pretty clean looking pretty much.. Pedders checked it over just a couple of weeks ago and they said all bushes and everything were perfect. Iv been told by a few people now that because the cops actually wrote " Front too low, minimum allowed 360mm" that regency will have to ensure that my car meets this standard before passing it. Bassically im thinking im going to have to go and get hightened springs for the front end it seems. What a joke hey.. And iv just been doing some more measuring up and now that i have the stock 16's back on my exhaust has dipped down to 90mm above ground level so there going to do me for that now to i figure.. Im wondering if borrowing my brothers 17" rims with 205/45's on them will raise it enough, any ideas on whether this is viable ? The stockies currently on the car have 205/55's on them.. mmm... only have to pickup 10mm somehow in order to fix the under carriage clearance worry..

tune up plackard bassically is the sticker on the inside of the bonnet saying the engine family, spark plug gap and base timing setting.. it is missing and i know that my last r32 that got complied had to have one stuck on so technically he is correct. Yeah 100mm from lowest point of vehicle is what i thought was normally done as well.. Thats the test they did last time on my last car and i passed. Its a load of crap because i know that the car is not dangeroulsy low. its the same as my wifes stock 4dr also but according to their book im to low.. Im also lead to believe that this measurement i speak of is only a factor of roadworthiness in SA ? ? Not sure if thats correct either.. ill be ringing regency first thing tommorowto find out where i stand because right now im buggered if i know. but if any one else has tips or advice id be glad to recieve it.

Hey people. Iv driven skylines for 4 years now, never been defected until today. I was pulled over for no real good reason and immidiatly i knew they were going to defect because out come the book and tape measure soon as the cops hopped out of the car. Anyway, iv been defected for.. too low (on completely stock suspesion), it stated in their little black book that i should have 360mm from centre of wheel to lip of guard. I had 357mm on rear and 353mm on front from memory. Also no tune up sticker, and no tyre info plackard. So bassically its off to regency i go. The cars a 92 r32 gts t, riding on 245/ 35 19's (i know theyr too big.) Iv taken the rims off and replaced them with the stockies, car now sits lower to the ground naturally but the measurement from the centre of wheel to guard has not changed, i dont know what to do. The bloody springs,shocks are all stock. They were replaced when the last owner went through regency just before i bought the car. The car passed regency and now theyr hassling me instead. How am i going to raise the height when im already running the stock setup??? Im so pissed at this..its just not fair, the cars had numerous mechanical inspections and passed through very well. Any help appreciated.. Cheers

yeah thats what i thought dude. cheers... anyone else got an opinion on what my problem is ?

hey there,. im getting a problem pretty much like axle tramp but when im cornering right hand turns even under very low throttle the rear end clunks an shakes violantly. Its literally like driving a car that has bad axle tramp when you dump the clutch in the wet and it shakes like crazy. it also does it a little when i gun it through 2nd and into 3rd. between gear it shakes a bit, iv only just felt this though because i had my clutch done. the major problem is the right hand turns. the problems pretty shocking so i need a solution pretty soon. Pedders checked out all my suspention and rekn that everything is in perfect condition and they think that my diff might be is shagged and has huge amounts of play in it which is what they think is causing the shuddering. The diff also clunks a bit in 4th,5th or reverse when you back on and off throttle lightly so im thinking that my diff is rooted. Surely if the thing has a mechanical diff init it wouldnt be this harsh would it ? and it would do it al the time not just right hand turns ? advise and ideas greatly appreciated guys!! cheers

Hender, i have not got compression readings as i did the test myself when i bought the car and then again about 1 1/2 years ago... yeah i suppose sending interstate wouldnt be to much ova hasle.. cheers

price drop..$5900 o.n.o

Maybe the super special microchip in the pod is dirty. Try cleaning it and it will not only run better but give you 20 or 30more rwkw's . :laughing-smiley-014: but in all seriousnes just try disconnecting the air flow meter and putting it back in again, also reset the ecu before starting car again. I ave had identical problem twice after mucking around with the pod filter and thats what fixed it for me.. good luck

Ok cheers guys.. Il see if i can get some pics up. You's have confirmed my suspisions anyway..When i first heard it i thought exact same thing.. Just wanted to check tho

Hey guys, got my new car last week, its a 93 r32 gts-t. At the moment its running a 4inch catback and 13psi, everything else appears stock. The guy i bought it off claims that it was running 190rwkws with fmic,13psi and full exhaust. He also claims that the turbo is off a GTR, so that would be a t28 right?I have searched the forums with no luck on info for this upgrade. I spoke to one guy who rekns that he's seen in done before, makes it boost earliar than stock turbo and runs a hell of a lot more efficient..Apparently without the full exhaust and fmic it still ran 161rwkws on the morpowa dyno in adelaide. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible for me to have this turbo or not?Its the first time iv heard of it done. Cheers

After about a year of contemplating whether to turbo my rb20de gts iv decided not to.. I bought a gts t yesterday and i couldnt be happier!! I think selling it and buying a gts t is the best way to go dude..

I know its been a couple of days but just wanted to say thanks for offering some advice guys.. As i thought it wasnt the knock sensors causing the prob... My dick ova friend failed to tell me that the fuel guage was on empty.. hahahahahaha bloody idiot!! btw tho, i checked the knock sensors. both were uplugged.He has been having issues with his car for ages, car had extreme lag and lag of response etc, he as taken it to mechanics and no one helped.. We plugged the knock sensors back in and reset ecu, car reponds much better both on and off boost. No more error code 34 from the ecu...brilliant.

yeah its a sweet car mate, have a 4 door gtst (my wifes)and 2 door gts, am looking for a gtst for myself, will pm ypu my offer

I own a r32 gts t auto, recently iv been test driving allot of manuals gts t's because i want to buy one and i must say iv been dissapointed. The wifes auto feels much quicker than any r32 manual iv driven so far..Maybe all the ones iv driven have been scewed tho.. When we gtech'd it and some of our mates cars it ran a 14.78.(on the gtech) cant remember the exact mph but i think it was 95..if you stall them up with decent rubber they go really hard i rekn. Without stallining it up its slow. Witha auto its not hard to get consistant good times. With manual theres allot of variables.

hey mate, is this car still for sale ?

Hopefully can get a quick answer from someone. His car all ova sudden wont start, its cranking properly etc etc, Iv just pulled the ecu out and checked for errors, error code 34 come up,knock sensor..I wouldnt of thought that a knock sensor failing would cause the car not to start.. if a knock sensor has completely failed will the car simply not start? Btw, its r31 witha rb20det... Thanks people.!!!

Hi guys. Looking at buying a stcok GTS4 auto, its at a price where i figure i could afford to spend a bit changing it to manual and it would still be a good buy. I know whats involved to change a GTS T but i know that GTS4 will be very different. Is this going to be a very hard job to perform and could i get away with it for under $2000? Also are there any common complications that can arrise like the attessa system going silly willys after converting? Im looking into possibly purchasing this vehicle soon so responses much aprreciated. Cheers
