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 ....

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well

      Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well.

      Need help/advice with bearing taper clearance, eccentricity and arp studs.

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard

      Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
