what did you get done for?? and where... ive got sum spare h1 globes and fitting plates.. jsut a matter of pulling off your pos and neg wires off your ballast (not illigal to have random wires) weve got sum stock suspension, stock coolers, and if they wona b hell priks might have to get our turbo mission on

yeh intercoolers are fine as long as:

1. reo bar isn't hacked up

2. everything tight and nothing hanging under the bumper

3. the cut holes for the piping are neat and treated so they don't rust

Well when i went to regency, took it totally back to stock, replaced suspension, pretty much all bushes, all exaust mounts, everything. and they still got something on me.

my advice, take off what you can. and just go, and get the list they give you! then they cannot search for anything else, got that advice from a compliance shop!.

otherwise u just end up spending like 4k like i did on parts etc, to just take them off and put brand new parts in shed after regency.

ok so i went in today for my inspection. as i thought they did me for my turbo not to fussed about that as it is not stock and i will cop no i just have to put my old one on. the two other 2 things i got done for which im pretty pissed off about is my BOV (which is plumbed back into its original position) was classified as a defect as its not the original one. he didnt care that my old one leaked and that my car backfired all the time. the other thing im a bit suprised about is that i have to put on my old stock boost controller as having the vacume line go from the wastegate to the intercooler pipe was not good enough.

the things i didnt get done for were my front mount, my 4 piston front brakes, my exhaust which funnily enough he only did by ear.

now for the hillarious part. once i finish this write up im about to start removing and replacing my turbo. on my defect notice it states that i have to have an O.E.M certified report. this means that once i put the old turbo on i have to go to nissan and have them certify the turbo is the standard one. i thought that was the whole reason we take our car to get inspected. if they cant tell if it's the standard one on there how can they tell if i don't have a standard one. now i have to ring around all the nissan dealerships and see if they can do this or not.

just the ang the mob i brought the car from and they will certify it after i change it at a cost of $110. nissan said they would only certify it they supplied me with a (BRAND NEW) one. i politly hung up and swore afterwards

    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
