Engineers Report

[Inline 6]

Hey got done for

-HICAS lock fitted to rear, to be returned to standard or engineer to address lock bar + rear wheel alignment.

this is going to cost about $1k at nisswreck for me to get the parts as apparently the power steering pump for it has been removed under the hood.

- COILOVERS fitted to be returned to standard or engineer to address.

when speaking with the engineer he just said as long as you cant wind them down past the legal height there ok.

-no EYELEVEL brake light

i thought 32's didn’t come with 1.

can you just put a stick on one to get your car through because im not to keen on modifying my car. It's pretty standard and I intend on keeping it that way. collectors item

I’m thinking of going for an engineers report for the rest as suspension is going to be looking at over $500 and rear wheel steering no doubt close to $2k getting stuff put in n out again.

Anyone got engineers they recommend? I spoke to a Doug Potts or something like that he was saying like $1500 to get suspension n the HICAS engineered. Then all I have to do is get the coilovers changed so they don’t go below legal height (not that I really care because I like to get over speed humps without scratches and im not really going to be hitting the track)

Anyone got the details on what's the lowest R32 GTR's are allowed to be?

The R32's came with a rear wing that has eyelevel brake light LED's built in.

Remove the rear wing and you need to fit a eyelevel light in the rear window.

Regarding the suspension height.. A mate recently got defected and I believe he said the GTR's had to be no lower than 372mm. Ring regency and check.

GTR's didnt come with eye level brake lights. they should have been fitted at compliancing. they are easy to fit ya self anyways

[mid life crisis]

doug potts did the engineering on my ac cobra replica . nice bloke but charges like a wounded bull

[Race__24]

just borrow a hicas system off someone and mock up the lines............. c'mon, they aint that smart!!!

[Cubes]

Ahh so the GTR rear wing does have LED's located in the centre?

Can't say I've ever taking notice, simply assumed.

[4door_Sleeper]

Even if you get the report I believe regency have the option not to accept it (and police wont even look at them )

[Bl4cK32]

You have no choice -

return the hicas to working order.

fit a slimline eyelevel light

Buy/borrow std shock.

No engineers report will be worth the paper its on.

Fix any other obvious defect (like the no cat etc)

Take some KY as you would probably go through a 3rd time if u dont make it resemble a stock car...

Ps - GTR's are 375mm i think i saw in the cops book.

[boostd_r32_gurl]

Goodluck buddy! Ive heard soo much crap about people telling me coilovers were legal through regency!...I didnt think they were unless they were welded to stock heght or above! Mines going through today for the 3rd time!

Make sure everything is smick! But i guess the main thing is..You got your list..So just fix everything on it...as they dont tend to check on other stuff other than the list the second time! (generally speaking)

Keep us informed

BB

also- jump to super cheap..they have rear eye level brake lights that connect to your cig lighter for 12$...save u a bit of cash

for the record, all (i think) nissan turbo cars come with a bov - just the plumb back type. It'd be simple enough to fit a stock one when getting it checked and replace it afterwards.

If they ask does it have a bov you can say yes but its plumb back and factory standard. Nothing illegal about the factory bov.

Good luck with it all.

James whats the deal with your car? is it being rebuilt as we speak?

I haven't seen you around in victor for months.

I've stopped going to the pub since since i'm no longer with kara. I don't really want to go down there anymore.

Gimmie a ring or something i've still got your number, we need to catch up.

sorry mate, think you got the wrong guy. My names not James

not that it matters but ill add my 2 cents, my wing is standard and there's no brake light in it. As far as i know there are no GTR's have brake lights in the wing but some GTS 32's have brake lights in there. Either way it’s easy enough to chuck one in the window and take it back out again.

they were looking around the rear steering rack when they noticed the hicas wasn’t working, so they might not know about the power steering lines. Havnt had a look myself yet how its been modified, I wouldn’t really have a clue what im looking at anyway.

I think they should be right with the engineer's report since they wrote it on the sheet (i hear sometimes they don’t give you the engineer option and force you to make it stock again). Just trying to figure out which way would be the better was in terms of $$

i figure if i got defected again and had the engineer's report they would just pick on over stuff more to give me the yellow sticker, but the cars pretty standard so there's not too much they can winge about.

I don’t suppose anyone has a hicas to lend? or legit suspension? i can let you hold onto some cash or something so you can trust you'll get it straight back in the same condition i got it.

Im finding it hard to get someone to lend me GTR parts, i guess this stuff expensive, hard to find and im a newby could be contributing factors here.

cheers to all that took the time to respond, much respect

how do u know if ur hicas is locked?

[Bl4cK32]

steering rack in rear has been removed, or if it is still there and u think its locked, then it may have 2 shims under the rack rubbers.

If you do get an engineers report , the engineer is taking responsibility for what ever he is writing the report for. Regency should not be able to defect you for anything that the report is covering. If they try , you should tell them to take it up with the engineer. This is the reason you get an engineers report for in the first place. The engineer is putting his reputation on the line and therefor , if he is anygood should argue like hell for you. This is why they cost so much.(accepting liability).
