Hello everyone

I have got a yellow last Sunday and this week I have been searching for all relevant info about passing the pits. Some problems came across.. any1 could tell me what to do about this?

Currently the fuel regulator is leaking. I did made sure the hoses are tighten, and noticed that the petrol is leaking from the spot (in red circle) Does that mean the regulator is broken? It is a sard one btw.

I have no idea what to do at the moment. Seems like lot of parts have to change back to Original.

Just want to gain more opinions before I send my car to work shop and do it up.

and a silly question. Do I have 10 days to prepare for pit since my car defected? does it include Saturday and Sunday?

Cheers

Romain :P

answer ur question abt the sard reg.. i would say just re-tape with teflon tape and tighten it up..... and i think in general coilovers are illegal??

Adjustable coilovers are illegal if they are threaded.

10 consecutive days yes lol

Coilovers technically are illegal, but as long as they aren't too soft most inspectors are fine with them...but it all depends, they aren't consistent. Your engine bay looks pretty clean & tidy so they should be happy with it, the bov you will have to take off, the cat should also be ok, at least I don't think any rules have been changed with that except for the emissions part they might ask you to get done. The IM240 test is still on hold at least....but if you have access to a stock cat you may as well put it on anyway

hey man if its not too hard do u mind posting up some pics of how your fpr is all hooked up? ive got what looks like an identical sard one but with only 1 airline fitting and 2 fuel fittings (purchased 2nd hand). and i always thought an adjustable fpr would replace the standard one it looks like yours is running in series with it.

cheers bud

      Yeah this was also my suspicion, that pineapples exist to reinforce the OEM bushes because people CBF taking the subframe out to do it. Basically that pineapples and subframe lock collars perform the same intended task. The cup still bolts in under the bush/crush tube.. as to how it'll go I don't know. Two of the bushes at the back look mostly the right shape. The ones up front clearly have the impressions left by the pineapples. Time will tell whether this will work/make any difference. Ideally I would not want any lock collars or pineapples, I'd just want the bush to do the job of the bush. Time will tell if the car works correctly with only the poly bushes in the state they're in. Worth seeing, I think.  What panel work are you looking at? I'm shelving everything from the A pillar forward because it's shit/doesn't function and this was before I drove off at the track and then drove into somebody! A second hand Reo and brackets is $1000, which is just cray when Mr.Hammer turns this piece of metal in regular metal shape.. considering it needs to be drilled to be adapted to the GTR headlight brackets anyway... So I'm all for $0 instead of $2000 (new 34 GTR reo) for the same result lol.

      I think he's already demonstrated that that's the way he's treating it post the paint jail release.

      Yep that makes sense, thanks! I guess flogging these turbos in winter is more preferrable lol.

      Bahahaha, bloody hell Greg. You've got bent and broken things, but instead, you're replacing perfectly good items. This story keeps getting more gregged!   Also, I'd 100% replace that reo if I were in your shoes, unless you panel beater is REALLY good. Even if you put another GTT one on there. Just because you've done so much nice body work lately, I'd say repair the body work fully  If it were more drift car spec, I'd be all "Hit it with a hammer and send it!"
