yes, very sad day. nos man here got defected within a few hours of owning his skyline. thankfully i only got reemed for the tyres on my 34.

just need to know a few things for the people that's been to regency before; (asking for nosman)

body kits, can they get through?

front mount intercooler, whats the real go on these?

intake piping with aftermarket BOV adapter welded shut?

cold air intake? just a pipe that goes from the front of the front bar to the pod filter

inner guards? do you need them?

thanks for advance,

dave

5.inner guards? do you need them?

1. If the lowest point to the ground is above 100m, and its secured well, yes.

2. As long as the job is neat they tend to turn a blind eye. All secure parts etc.

3. No aftermarket BOV. All std emission gear must be fitted, aftermarket one can be welded so its fine.

4. CAI - hmm...havent heard of anyone being done for this, but pod must be secured to inner guard. Might be best to remove cai just for the inspection. Pod is fine.

5. Yes. big yes.

Basically have as much std gear on it as possible (except the ic) and u should be fine.

well we were out cleaning our cars at BP regency park and then a cop came along when we were drying it off. he did a registration check and then it all started from there.

i just went pass there again today and they seem to have a marked cop car just there parking waiting to defect anyone that comes in.

thanks bl4ck32, i have a few more questions on behalf of nosman

1. what would be the best solution to make the exhaust more quiet without having to put a standard exhaust on? the exhaust is a turbo back, 3" all the way through with no cat. as it already needs a cat, would the piping need to be changed? as in smaller piping?

2. the car has GTR front guards, so the inner guards from the original gtst were ripped off. would you need GTR inner guards to fill it or would a gtst one fit?

3. the previous owner cut a hole for one side of the intercooler piping to go through on the left hand side under the washing bottle. that would need to be patched up wouldn't it?

4. eye lids and dirty head lights, i'm guessing the eye lids must be removed, but what about a foggy head light? would that pass?

5. number plates are located on the side at the front, would you pass with this? if not; relocating the number plates to the middle will leave holes in the bumper. do these holes need to be patched up?

thats about all i can think of for now. sorry for the stupid/silly questions, just want to get it right as much as possible before heading to regency, although we might have to visit them a second time.

thanks in advance!

cheers,

dave

1. U can get 3" cats, so when he gets it fitted u will have a 3" flange after the cat. You can get a std system to bolt on after the cat for the inspection (exhaust technology rent them out i think), or have the muffler at the rear cut (same time the cat is fitted) and a flange welded on to slap a std muffler on for the test then just refit his muffler.

2. The gtst inner guards will fit, just need to weld a bit of steel to close the gap to the outer guards.

3. As long as holes are neat, they tend to disregard (so ive heard very recently) so make sure it looks nice, and its painted.

4. They check globes are working but shouldnt care about headlights being dirty unless they are really bad.

5. nope. std centre location required. Holes should be fine.

Even if he has all of these fixed, be prepared for other items to be looked at. All bushes, brakes, suspension, seats being loose, wheel bearings etc. They generally try make u come back fer a 2nd time, so dont stress too much the first time through.

go to marky at ET and get him to stuff steel wool in the exhaust, then so to regency and get your list cause if you go back within 6 months they cant get you for anything else.

EASIEST way and you might get away with a few things

yea I saw that too so I steered away from that joint and made my way down to the ottoway BP. Not suprisingly a marked cop car was there...

Sorry to hi-jack your thread mate, but does anyone know if oil catch cans are legal (not venting)

I got through with a side mounted plate. the official law is 20cm off the ground and clearly visable. you can take you car through regency un rego'd, so i spose you dont technically need plates.

but cops are c**ts and dont know what they are doing, so they told me it was illegal when i got defected.

Evo 9's, some alpha romeos, torago's and a few other cars come out std with side mounted plates, all on the drivers side though, dunno if that means anything.

good luck with it mate

cheers guys! well i just replaced the exhaust, just put on a standard cat and changed it to 2.5 inch piping from the cat to muffler! now my car is at a workshop getting some shit removed and replaced! now the only thing that i need are inner guards, would anyone know where i can get some? i've gone to a lot of places but they don't have any so i'm kinda stuck right now!

thanks........

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
