Had my follow up visit to Regency last week.....another good experience with a decent inspector who helped me out. Vehicle passed no worries, he mentioned that my adustable blow off valve may attract undue police attention but passed it as it was plumb back.

He also showed me the paperwork for someone with an R32 GTR who had removed the hicas and fitted a lock bar plus adjustable HKS coilovers lowered 30mm all round.....all legal and engineered! This proves what I first stated, that coilovers are fine if they are engineered.

Still don't see the big Regency problem!

It only proves that someone got lucky. The actual passing of the inspection is up to the inspectors or their own engineers discretion. Ive seen engineered things fail, and had it happen to me.

The problems people have with regency is the inconsistent interpretation of the actual ADR rules. Also the fact they let someone through with something one time, only to come back and defect it the next time. (almost as if giving you a reason to come back)

I noticed in the OP that you have no side indicators and clear front ones, which can be picked up on as well. Just because its made it through twice now, doesnt mean that the police / inspector wont ask you to change them next time.

    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
