Defected!

[DriftR_33]

HEYY... i havent been on in a while, i have been really depressed (my girl needs my love, she is so lonely ATM.. im gonna buy her some presents when she is cleared!)

the car still has 2 weeks before she goes in....

DAM wait!

i have decided to change the obvios but leave some parts on as to give them some easy things to get

[Pauly33GTS-t]

i know helping out a fellow club member or interested buyer here on the forums for stock parts is a nice thing to do and a good idea, but make sure u got triples of them parts and teh money to pay for labour just in case u get defected and u need old shit in and new shit out and vice versa. 2 cars would be ideal but not all of us have xxxx amount of cash to buy 2 of the same car and keep 1 stock.... and thats just for bolt on mods.

i think thats a good idea not changing every thing and you never know they might pass some of those things you didnt change

[DriftR_33]

yeah, i think its a definate that they will gimmie a fresh defect list even if the car was completly returned to stock.

so... im gonna let them tell me what to do.

last thing i wanna do is pull suspension, diff ect. out for no reason.

anywayz. i cannot believe how much my car is a part of my life

im lost.. IM IN COON COUNTRY!!!!!

[DriftR_33]

hey guys! just took my car through regency..

The List:

- eye level rear tail light to work

- all emission controls to be re-installed (supply report stating all plum,bing correct)

- fit dry cell type battery or vent to atmosphere

- refit all child restraint systems

- remove flare and despose correctly

- pedals

- front and rear suspension to be raised to 360mm

- repair missing/brocken exhaust manifold studs

- re-instate rear steering control sytems (hicas) supply report stating operation ok

- re-instate abs control function. (doesent have abs.. IDIOT) supply report stating operation ok

ALL REPORTS TO BE FROM REPUTABLE DEALER QAUILIFIED MECH.

[RBwhatever]

- front and rear suspension to be raised to 360mm

do they want your car to be a 4wd or what?

[Cubes]

Whats the All reports to be from reputable dealer qualified Mech.. Sounds like engrish.

Did you question the abs control function?

They really must have gone over it with a fine tooth comb to pick up the exh. manifold stud UNLESS its can be easily heard.

So whats this about the reports etc? Does that mean a mechanic can supply a report and they dont check *doubt* or?

[DriftR_33]

i would be a great help is some body could lend me the following.

- rear spoiler with working leds or just leds.

- hicas steering rack

[Cubes]

RE: Rear spoiler.

Fit up a cheap rear window light that you can pick up from the local auto store.

[DriftR_33]

yeah, i told him it doesent have abs and he looked at me (its quite obvious) i think he was referring to the sensor i have questioned to you guys before located at the front nose of the diff.

well my father is a mechaninc and thinks he knows people that could state it in reports. also i know a few people.

he told me i need a charcoal cannister fitted, i said yes, its fitted it disposes of fuel vapors and then showed him were it was and the lines, he still said i needed it checked.

there is no leaks from the manifold, have organised a hi flow from slide for her, was planning on doing the studs then, but i think ill have to doubble handle as a hi flow would screw with emissions even with stock ecu.

he also questioned the boost solionoid i explained it to him, but then thaught it was best for someone to check it out.

yeah, i think as long as i have a report its ok.. i hope i find a decent mech and it easy and cheap.

RE: Rear spoiler.

good idea!!

[Cubes]

A highflow won't screw with emissions as they don't test them at wot, only idle, cruise etc when its off boost.

If anything the only thing it will screw with is making the car louder.

But really.. what are these amature knob heads inspecting cars for when they have NFI what they are on about...

[DriftR_33]

agreed.

does anybody have nissan fast software. i need to find my factory options.

[heslo]

Sure do buddy, sucks to hear about Regency though, real bastards

[Madaz]

agreed.

see Howie for a disc im sure if you ask nicely he will render one available

[J_Red33]

I can't see why you need things like the Hicas to be re-fitted. Did your car have it? As long as the suspension is properly aligned it's perfectly safe & just like 99.9% of all other cars out there that have no rear steering system. What a joke.

As far as the boot wing goes I think I may know what's wrong. I fixed my own, it turned out to be a current limiting resistor that was on the +ve input just near the where the wires feed in. It gets moisture in through the seal & corrodes the resistor till it no longer works. I pulled it open using a hair dryer to help separate it (though a heat gun would have been better) changed the resistor & sealed it back up again with clear silicon as well as the wire seal to stop it leaking again. Wouldn't know I'd touched it.

Could probably give you a hand with yours if you like, there's bugger all to them. It's a bit fiddley but worth the effort.

all japanese skylines from the 89 HR31 up had HICAS

[Cubes]

I believe there were some they didn't come with hicas as there is a powersteer pump available without hicas.

Most likely the n/a base model.

I'm probably wrong though as I don't know for sure.. Just something I vaguely remember.

this is correct

sux to hear how much they reemed you jase! g/l with getting it all fixed and fingers crossed it doesn't cost you your left testicle!

[DriftR_33]

yeah. apparently you need to have it engineerd, the part has obviously been engineered for it to work.

r33 hicas is electronicly controlled? easy to install?

SOMEONE LEND ME ONE THEY HAVE TAKEN OFF!
