Hey guys,

I was talking to a friend of mine about engineering different parts of the car to make them legal... My suspension is already too low and the rims i want to get will also be illegal... can you guys help give me some info about all this?

Thanks,

Cas.

More info is needed mate.

What sort of suspension do you have? Coilovers? Lowered springs?

And why are the rims illegal? over the 2 inch size that is allowed?

I think you will not be able to get anything engineered as it is ilegal to have rims that are over the 2 sizes leeway.

And your car has to be higher then 100mm at the lowest point. So if you have a low exhaust and thats the lowest part on your car u have to clear 100mm to that point.

Im pretty sure thats right. If not then you will soon find out when I get corrected.

Hope that helps anyway

Personally dont bother.

A mate knows someone who spent 2g+ to get his teins engineered so that they will pass regency.

Even when he did this the engineers at regency knocked them back -even though they had been approved. 2K wasted.

You are better of keeping the car stockish (at least go for 17" rims) as u will have nothing but hassles from police the rest of the time u own the car.

some other thing that isnt perfect. a perfect car does not exist. even straight from manufacture, some cars are not perfect. so a ten year old car is never going to be perfect, thus regency will pick on you and get you to come back no matter how hard you try. that is unless you are lucky the first time.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
