The Defected Thread...

[heslo]

Looking at the engine bay photos from SMASA earlier this year can definitely see a big massive silver snail sitting on the passenger side of the engine.

Gonna be a fun trip getting ready for Regency then

[AdMan]

I got done about a month ago now...

Up through Henley Beach Road at about 8pm.. heading to the beach with the missus actually.

Undercover was sitting on top of the bridge near South Road/Henley Beach. I wasnt in a hurry, I looked in my mirror saw someone turn in behind me.. Next thing I know they are right up my ass, pull across to the right of me, get next to my door.. Slam on the brakes and pull in behind again.. Wonder what the 4 cars behind me were thinking.

Anywho, basically said to me that reason pulled you over was for suspension.. not suprised, put it back in for AJP never took it out. Only the front though.. Continued to ask me questions about did I know anything about cars... blah blah blah, he even said to me that the fact it was so low caused the brakes not to work.. hell the brakes are twenty times better then my dads VT Commodore.. which I laughed.

After telling me to pop the bonnet, just taken the rocker cover off the coils, and a tiny bit of oil in there, fire hazard.. But did me for the oil on the gearbox instead. Walked over to the left hand side, kicked my front bar in the process of power trip and continued to wrestle with my non secure battery which I never got the chance to put the brace on as I lost 2 brackets for it a while back. Didnt apologise, I told him thanks for that.

Got done for b.o.v as well, had it blocked off...

Spent 15 mins in the car waiting for them to fill out the paperwork, came back to me with a $203 fine for breach ADR suspension rules.. then basically threw me the paper and walked back towards his car while telling me to be on my way.

Yes cops do there job, but I'm a member of the public, I should at least get some sort of respect for some eye contact, really shit me off...

Lucky enough, I went to Regency a while ago.. cost me 3 grand to get it to pass. After being lied to by the previous owner. -_-

Just dont have the time to do any of it... my parents are getting a house built at the moment too, so I'm obligated to help them out with that too.

Should be a simple sus out, exhaust off excercise.. got some electrical that needs doing (again) useless electricians..

My mate (MYCEF3) and I just got defected on Anzac Hwy. The only thing i got done for is my height but now i gotta take it to regency. If anyone knows where i can get a stock set of R32 springs from it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has a set of stock rims too. Regency here we come.

Brad i have front suspension and rims that will pass.

top moount turbo will have to come off with screamer too. Have a manifold at home but no dump pipe and boost controller setup. Give me a yell if you need to borrow anything. Hate seeing my old car off the rd.

[rad100]

does the stock boost solenoid need to be replaced in a r32 with rb25det to pass inspection?

[MSTR32]

yeh i may just need them from ya mate. I can't see me getting this past regency anytime soon so i may just have to keep it in the shed for a while unless someone wants a defected 32 4 door. lol. I dont have the time or money atm for all this.

My old 32 will pass with that afm. Its the one i had on it to pass regency compliance. Also take the rb25 paperwork in brad

[SkyHi_33]

pwned 20 metres from my house.

boost controller, left it in from saturday track day

wheel spacers on front

not worried about getting through regency, pretty sure it will pass anyways, but i just got a manual conversion done and its still registered as auto... what should i do in regards to this or should i just take it through as it is?

[rad100]

unlucky mang..

rbt or random pull over?

[SkyHi_33]

rbt/drug test on the side of the road in front of my house... he was staring as i pulled in to my driveway and got out haha.

At least on a good point, shite loads got done on the ACC (RCK) cruise over the weekend. Just seems that as soon as cops see a Skyline the automatically think defect, going by the guys on here in only the last few days.

yes they set up a station at mawson lakes.

another of my friends got a defect. this one for being to low except its at stock height.

clubby wags kit and 18's i think. no zorst and no other mods. even stock stezza.

f*k they need to do something about teaching cops what cars look like never mind knowing about them.

wankers

Rang up today to book my car into regency and was told that a new place at Lonsdale is opening up to clear defects on Wednesday's and Thursday's so i've got my car booked in for next Wednesday. Hopefully the guys who work there are chill.

the powerfc will have to come out as they do check that at regency as well.....REGENCY goes all over your car inside and out and underneath as well.....and trying to hide things wont work as i have before and they just laughed......they see people trying to dodge and hide things everytime mate....

goodluck (think you will need it)......

[DamageInc]

will a s2 turbo pass through regency or will it need to be the s1 r33 turbo?

dont think there is any visable difference without taking off the dump pipe ?

Mitch is right.....but it should pass regardless as its another OEM product not a aftermarket item....

[SkyHi_33]

quick question, dump pipes allowed?

mate just went through with his 3" dump pipe and cat on, but with a factory system from the cat??

[cheegar]

Okay just recently got my first import less than a month ago and got defected for boost controller, catch can venting and protruding wheels. I've never been through regency so i have no idea what to expect is there anything else i should be taking off my car

hks2530

hybrid fmic

secured pod

3" zorst

apexi FC

dash mounted boost gauge

nismo 555cc

gtr fuel pump

z32afm

boost tee

nardi steering wheel

Cheers, Chris

[Damo_R34]

2530 off, fmic is ok if you haven't cut into the reo bar, or chassis, and it is secure, secured pod is fine as long as it is secured tight, 3'' exhaust will probably have to go as it will be too loud, power fc will have to go, for safety sake the boost guage will have to go, as it is probably in the line of sight, 555's regency may just pick on, fuel pump is ok, afm will need to change as you will be taking out the power fc, boost tee has to go, and nardi steering wheel probably isnt ADR compliant so that has to go.

Good luck!
