can i ask what for?

Anything that is engineered will probably be refused anyway. Regency and police are exempt from the law if they think anything goes against ADR laws -in their mind- then it is defectable and will not be allowed on the road. This is with a certificate and engineered product as well.

I know a friend spent over 2k getting suspension engineered that would pass aus wide ADR laws, and it was knocked back.

You're better off not even trying in SA. Its the law, and it sucks.

The only way I've found to get around emissions (well told by some one in vehicle standards) here in SA is to move to NSW. Get the car emissions tested and engineer signed off that it meets ADR's, get it all reg'd then move back here and transfer the rego.

Live 40km's away from the CBD so you are allowed to have a simple VIS check done by the local cop shop, be sure to bring all the associated documents from the modifications/engineer/emissions etc.

Live inside of the 40km's and you'll be off to regency for a vis + roadworth that often than not they pick up something.

Then the car will probably be defected and regency won't honor nsw's emissions testing engineering adr etc..

Who knows, they don't LMAO!

There is word that SA is in the process of sorting out emissions testing for petrol vehicles, I'm not going to hold my breath.

I havent done anythink yet but was planning on getting 20ich rims with coilovers and c/f bonnet, i wanted to do it the right way but now thinking i might just have to stick with 18's and risk the c/f bonnet. The reason i wanted to get engineered was that im spanding so much on this car and wanted to do it right.

ADELAIDE needs a mod plate

cf illegal due to the way it reacts during a crash. If u paint it u lose the wank factor of having one to start with. Its been covered here before.

Coilovers are illegal unless u weld them @ std height. No point having them as well, see SK's definition of why (unsuited to australian roads etc etc...)

Nice way to say hi :)

Can u then stand by your certificates saying that the police will not defect the car still, requiring a trip to regency to clear? Given the fact they only have to have a suspicion of a defect -without knowledge of the ADR laws that they are defecting for?

Are u saying that even though regency engineers can knock back certified safe cars that u will stand by your certifications, and take them to court to follow the matter up, even though they are expemt from any decisions made by them?

Please elaborate because i know a few hundered people here and on other foums would love to see you and your certs/plates get past the system that has raped many...

It either complies with state and federal legislation or it doesnt..

It is very black and white.... You will find it hard to find anyone that will write dodgy approvals..

But if it is a pass, it is a pass.. Simple..

U know that, we all know that. Explain why regency wont agree with it. Fact - people who have engineers certified mods on their cars in SA have been defected in the past.

Even if u have a mod plate and all mods comply regency can still refuse it on the road, which HAS happened.

Even if u STILL get it past them, there is nothing to stop police sending u back again.

Its all good to state it will pass if its legal, but we all know regency doesnt care, the police dont. It a revenue raising bitch, and u cant do shit except chase your tail.

Have a look at the law and theres a loop hole that states regency doesnt have to explain what they do. Dont make me dig it out. :P

Its all good to offer a cert plate, but in the end u will still end up back at regency.

So please offer an explanation as to why u think your certification would be different to anyone else, and if you would challenge regency as to why it was knocked back.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
