Need To Borrow Some Parts...

[heslo]

Hey guys, looks like I'm going ahead and finally getting myself a nice GTR Problem is I need a standard bonnet and possibly drivers seat that I can borrow just for the visual inspection at Regency. Anyone able to switch their bonnet (preferably white) and drivers seat just for a day or two? Or even know somewhere I can loan them from?

Cheers

[Madaz]

Well your more than welcome to try my bonnet on there website it says there able to swap for a standard one, but in guessing you want the CF one

[heslo]

Correct Might take you up on the offer for your bonnet however, hopefully the GTS-t ones fit

have you spoken to the vehicle standards officer down there to see if it will be an issue??

i have their no at work if you want to give them a call

[gtrkiet]

no gts-t does not fit.

[heslo]

See if what is an issue Nick? The CF bonnet? If so I believe it is as AFAIK they need to meet ADR standards. But please by all means if you could give me the number just to check that would be awesome

[heslo]

Shit, can you say that with 100% certainty buddy?

[Whiplash]

Luke the no for Vehicle standards at regency is

1300 88 22 48

had a quick word to a friend down there and she doesn't think a carbon fibre bonnet will be a big issue. She said to watch out if the car is noticeably low or has a f'ing big exhaust on it. She recommends sturt over regency aswell.

I tried to call them today but got called out of the office so i couldn't stay on hold. It may take awhile to get through, other times i have had someone answer straight away

good luck with it all

Carbon fibre bonnet will be fine.

Carbon fibre bonnet will be fine.

U work at regency? Or are u offering to pay for his 2nd trip back when/if they defect it for not meeting ADR standards?

How about we leave it to him to ring regency...

[heslo]

Cheers Nick I'll give them a buzz. Hopefully it won't be an issue but I'm going on the stance that it will be; if I hear otherwise it will be a nice surprise

He is welcome to do as he pleases, he has also seen my bonnet which was fine when i approached regency regarding its legality just 3 months ago.

EDIT: After inspecting the pics of the car, it is in fact the same bonnet.

Ah you had no problems buddy?

[fieds83]

No problems, i went in and spoke to a gentleman at regency regarding a range of mods on the car. As you remember it was extensively modified and according to him the only thing that needed to be done was raise the car, remove the tint, remove the computer, injectors and baffle the exhaust. To some that may sound like a lot but the list of things that needed to be removed was shorter than most would think.

Things that were fine were on my car:

19's

carbon fibre bonnet

coilovers(though needed to be raised but being adjustable is not a problem for regency)

hks filters

intercooler

two boot mounted 044 bosch pumps(he stated that the pumps were fine but the original computer and injectors would need to be in place).

I did the research first so that if and when i wanted to change the vic reg over to sa i would only have to go through once. Obviously Luke yours has some slightly different mods in other respects but the carbon bonnet will be fine according to the gentleman that i spoke to at regency.

He actually stated to me that yes the cops may have a problem with some of the mods but they were by no means illegal and would not have a problem passing an inspection.

Still, give them a call or drop in regarding all your mods before you go for your inspection just for peace of mind. They wont defect you over the phone or counter, they will appreciate that you are trying to comply with their standards.
