Hi,my name is brett!

I just got my L's and bought a Gunmetal grey R32 and i let a mate drive it and we got it defected for a blow off valve!

my car has an exhaust with no cat. and i have a HKS 25/30 turbo.

so i was wondering if any1 could help me out.

Im after a stock turbo, exhaust and steering wheel.

i dont know where to get anything from and none of my mates can help me.

if any1 on SAU can help me that would be great.

thanks for your time!

Welcome to SAU mate, spewing about the defect, as for the items needed i'd just look in the For Sale section on here to find everything you need mate, other than that i can only suggest going down to see Marky at Exhaust Technology and see if he has any stock 32 systems laying around you could buy!

Good luck buddy!

You shouldn't need a completely stock exhaust system, just one that has a Cat, and isn't too loud.

I'd just get a cat put in, and a small muffler on the rear, I've got two interchangable rear mufflers for my car. Most people on here can vouch just how loud my LOUD muffler is, but with the quieter one on it's more than legal.

Had a similar problem.. Theres a place out wingfield i think it might be ( the name escapes me right now, ill try find it and let u know asap) but its all nissan spares - they actually 'rent' parts to you, for regency inspections etc. A stock steering wheel will cost u $50 to borrow for the day, just go there before regency, borrow the wheel and return it after youre done. U can buy it if u wish, they are pretty cheap.

Same goes for the turbo.. think they do the same with that.

With the cat, i 'borrowed' one from AAA exhaust at richmond - cost me bout $50 and they lent it to me for the day, including fitting and then removing it.

They will go over your whole car, they tested my horn, seatbelts (that they retract properly) etc..

Good luck

getting turbos changed is a major labour cost - prepare to be reamed if you get a workshop to do it.

If you have an aftermarket turbo, you almost certainly have an aftermarket ECU, which is also illegal and Regency will check.

Also check your chassis rails and strut towers for any sort of rust, as the don't like that at all.

Sorry to say that the vast majority of imports that go into Regency come out with more defects than they went in with ....

    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
