The Defected Thread...

[sneaky1]

nah i dont sorry, didnt take any notice, i do know the cracking rims are made in china,

not that helps much tho LOL!

i know ROH used to make them but lost the contract to someone cheaper. not sure who tho.

[PREISS]

I used to work at ROH. they were pretty dodgy. I was on the paint line. powder coating and painting that shitty shadow chrome. Which is only silver over gloss black powder. Cheap as.

If you look on the back on wheels such as Adrenalins, Drift R's etc you will see holes in the back of the spokes. Some large some small. Not machined properly. They couldn't fix it so they just went with it.

howdy, im looking at purchasing a r32 4door with a 25Neo in it. its gotta go through regency just wondering if itl be engineerable on stock brakes with just a test or whether il have to go to r34 standard sized brakes (or bigger)? i assume someone would have done this before and im asking here as i dont have the time to mess around with forms. cheers

[scandyflick]

what year is it?

i think one of the minimums for an approved engine conversion is the same size brakes as found on the donor car.

[dunn]

1990, ahk, bummer i imagine 25 brakes are a decent size bigger than 20's.

[scandyflick]

head down to service sa or whatever they call themselves these days, and get an application to modify, fill it out, send it in and itll tell you everything you need to get done.

[dunn]

yeah i printed one off just i dont own the car yet, wanna see how difficult itl be to clear before i buy it, but dont wanna take too long doing it as i dont want it to be snatched up, was just hoping i could get a quick answer here but i better send away the form anyway. cheers for your help.

[scandyflick]

spose you could always look up chartered engineers, give one of them a call in the morning and ask their opinion?

this is a tough question to put a answer to...ummm

i would have thought that as long as you pass the regency brake test then it should be fine....so if your stock brakes are damn good then or if not then upgrade to 33 brakes and they are apparently easy to do hence that might be the go then

[Raddy32-4dr]

ok, thanks..

cheers for everyone who has helped me.

im happier if i stay on the right side of the law, (not that i hate modifying cars)

but when your young and look even younger it seems the cops pul you over a tad more.

i put my 32 4dr throught regency a while ago and they told me the brakes had to be the same size as the donor car as dave said. Also you have to get an exhaust emmissions test which will cost you abot 100. Then its the usual shit as per normal inspection. I had a 33 25 tho but i think it should be the same.

Father in-law got done during the week on his bike for:

To loud, LED number plate lights, non-compliance indicators, handle bars over 900mm and was also fined for a non ADR approved helmet because the 5 ticks on the sticker were no longer red, they were worn.

Police also questioned him as to which motor cycle gang he was with. He replied with a swift " It's called 'The cool kids motorbike gang' and sorry, but your not allowed".

Officer then took his helmet and stuck the defect sticker on his headlight and left him sitting there in the pouring rain. He is now fighting the fine for the helmet and is trying to find it but the officer hasn't logged it yet and its supposedly 'missing'

Just had a run in with the same Officer that defected me earlier this year... he popped out of a sidestreet about 20 metres behind me as I was waiting at the lights to turn right and he went up right behind me and what do you know - pulls me over shortly after for an "RBT" - atleast this time he didnt ask to pop the bonnet straight away but actually breath tested me first unlike last time didnt breath test at all just went straight for the bonnet. So yeah, bonnet popped he went straight for the standard solenoid which is located at the standard position with the standard lines... had a good long look at it and gave the line coming out of it a wiggle and that was it, nothing to defect so off he goes. Thats enough excitement for me for today! lol
