The only way to be certain it has/hasnt got Xenons is to take the front bar off so you can get the headlights out to look at the fittings; so I dunno if regency would have gone to that effort. I assume itd be possible to get a higher lumen rated D2R bulb but I've never looked into it. I do find my Xenons a lot brighter than the halogens compliance put in though!

Here's hoping they are in there then. :thumbsup: Might check a bit closer tomorrow.

Sorry to bring this back up; but it is coming to the business end of the compliance. Car arrives at port tomorrow. Basically im asking again, does anyone have spare M35 headlights or a halogen kit? I need one of the two in order for the dream boats not to butcher the shit out of my headlights. I have asked him i want everything that is removed handed back to me without being ill-repairable. His response was, " No, as it's strict guidlines we must butcher it in order to show compliance"- What a load of bullocks! If it was a neat job it could be repaired with a quick soldering job surely.

So If anyone read the above, and can help, please PM me!

Can you not have it complied elsewhere?

If it was through an agent (Iron Chef etc), surely they could send it to another compliance shop?

Yeah, Thats a fair point. Apparently it's not the compliance that is the problem, it the pits for when it gets checked in order for it to get regoed. (WA) Even suggested using my own guy to do the pits to which he is saying no. :S Wouldn't recommend (insert workshop/importerhere) to anyone. No idea of customer service.

WTF? Are you not allowed FACTORY HID's in Aus?

Aftermarket HID kits here are illegal, due to the fact most of tthem are for LHD cars so distract oncoming traffic... But if you drive towards a car with factory, adjusted properly HID's, they don't phase you at all...

It's the lack of auto levelling that causes issues with the law

thats not entirely true, technically its the law and he is abiding by it.

exactly. whats a RAWS licenceworkshop/equipment worth nowadays ($100k+) and all the inspector has to do is pick your car which you want done wrong/illegally.

not worth it to the RAW.

You can get factory HIDs; look at the Holden Caprice and some saabs. They just have to be self levelling and have headlight washers fitted.

wrong, the headlight unit itself has the beam modifications for LHD and RHD, not the burner/globe.

an H1 is an H1 no matter what side of the road you drive on

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
