I remember reading on here somewhere and i have done searches but can't find what i'm looking for. I have the regency defect and my rego has expired. As we know you can't register a defected car. However, if you have the defect signed off and a regency appointment you can drive untill that date, the standard procedure when the car has rego.

I thought I read, that if you go to the regency park office with the paperwork they can issue you with some type of rego so the car can be driven.

I have the defect paperwork and has been signed off in the past. I have made several calls and been told that this isn't the case. Can anyone help??

yes you can, but it is classed as a permit rego

once ur car is cleared u take the reciept saying u passed regency and the reciept saying u paid 180 or whatever u paid for ur rego to the desk and they make up a sticker for you no questions asked,

can be tricky if you not sure wat to do or u get sum1 that doesnt know wat there doin at the desk

i only did this like two months ago, so yes it can be done.....

so is your defect signed off and cleared or you going to regency? :P

why would you have an appointment to go to regency if its signed off and cleared already?

my rego run out while on defect and i had to buy stupid day passes each time i went to a workshop with it.

I had an appointment and was signed off at the cop shop but had an accident a week later and now have only got the car back from the panel beater. I don't want a day pass but be able to drive around untill my new appointment date.

so is your defect signed off and cleared or you going to regency? :blink:

Yeah, not 100% sure on this but if they find out the trader plates don't actually belong to you or you aren't a part of the company you can get into serious trouble

Not ture customers use trader plates all the time for test drives, I would have said im taking it for a test drive and said the car yard i used.

You need proof that you've fixed/repaired/replaced the items in question on the defect.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.

      Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.

      He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.

      Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work.

      Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me
