    Gtr Guru Needed For Private Sale Inspection Cash Cash Job

    in South Australia

    Posted · Edited by SkyHi_33

    Who did the inspection?

    What were the compression test results? How was the compression test done? Was it hot or cold?

    Weird noise at 9000rpm? That's pushing the Rev limit there a bit. Sure the 26 can take a lot of revs but unless it's a full built motor I wouldn't be pushing it that hard?

    Judging by that alone, I'd be getting another opinion over whoever did the inspection for you =/

    Wheel Offset Dilema

    in South Australia

    Posted

    So, to spice things up in here...

    Found a nice daily nissan I want to buy, the guy has two sets of wheels for it, both exactly the same apart from the offset.

    Only one can come with me.

    18x9 +30 conservative
    18x9 +15 not spectacular but will probably be picked on.

    But then again, might even sell them for a different type of rim all together.

    What does one do?

    Any Opinions On Japanese Motorsport?

    Said I'm using the car for street and want around 6 and 8k. You can't sell someone a hks coilover that is around 12,10k for the street. You will start cracking shit.

    Depends what kind of coilovers they were, I had 10/10 HKS Hyper D's with progressive type springs... sounded like heavy rates for a r33 gtst, put them in, and found that daily driving they felt nice and soft, get in to tighter stuff and the harder you push, the more they stiffen up. Hands down the best set of coilovers I owned to date.

    Sorry brah me and da kuzins were doin da arab drift cuzza. Dropped my kebab under da brakez bro couldnt stomp dat bro and da 4wd was at fault coz dey didnt hear my hektik doze mate, lucky I didnt call da other cuzns to smash them bro!

    Massive shame going out to the 4 idiots in the VL on Bridge road this afternoon... Trying to get into a street race (which I declined) who then roared off up to about 150 to 160 KMPH...

    who then missed a family in a four wheel drive who had turned right onto a side street... I watched in horror as you braked and drifted out of control around the rear of the four wheel drive...

    I still do not know how you missed them... But it was not to do with skill...

    Just pure never to be seen again LUCK :(:( :(

    If I had your plate I would have reported you already........ :domokun:

    Best Place To Get Motul 6100 In Sa?

    in South Australia

    Posted · Edited by SkyHi_33

    You should be using oils that are e85 compatible, otherwise the ethanol can dilute your oil and thin it out.

    Only one that I know is e85 compatible is Penrite 10 Tenths range. Im sure Royal purple would have something suitable as well but I havent really had a good look around. Atm I'm using the Penrite stuff in mine :)

    Sa - Defects And Regency - Help With What Happens?

    in South Australia

    Posted

    Coming from a self proclaimed regency veteran:

    First things first:

    In Cabin:

    1. check every single bulb on your car is functional, including hazards

    2. washer jets work and u have water in the reservoir

    3. all of your seats are legal. Seat belts ALL work. Seat slides forwards and backwards as it is meant to.

    4. get subs and amps out. The less non standard stuff they notice, the better. Go in with your car stock as possible.

    5. your steering wheel is stock or legal. This applies also to the boss. It cancels the indicators.

    6. horn works

    7. windows are all working and there’s no crack.

    8. all panels etc are fixed and secure.

    9. tint is legal. Make sure it’s legal. A lot of guys are failing on this. if it’s not, take it off. If you’re not sure, find out. Be sure.

    10. No loose wires anywhere hanging around the place.

    Sub Frame & Shell:

    1. all boots on everything are in good nick. CV boots, steering boots, strut boots. Mikey didn’t get thru cos of this kind of thing.

    2. no significant cracks to subframe or suspension assemblies.

    3. all panels are fixed and secure. This includes little things like your wheel arch liners, grill, etc. Make sure all your panel pins are in place and doing their job.

    4. your aftermarket exhaust isn’t touching anything it shouldn’t, including your *handbrake cable and assembly*

    5. no oil leaks, GB leaks, radiator leaks etc etc etc

    Wheels & Suspension:

    1. your wheel alignment is reasonable (ie wheels aren’t touching, or nearly touching, any suspension componentry)

    2. wheels are legal. If you’re not sure, check. A general rule of thumb is that u can go 2” rim diameter greater and 25mm wider, but check with regency before you go thru. Rules are different for each model, and for different manufacturing years.

    3. tyres in good nick, including your spare tyre.

    4. brakes are good. Callipers are legal.

    5. your ride height is as close to stock as possible.

    Engine & Drivetrain:

    1. you’re not blowing smoke

    2. your aftermarket pod is secured. Afm is plugged in, O2 sensor is plugged in. inputs (sensors etc) are plugged.

    3. your egr is plumbed in and functional.

    4. no structural rust

    5. you have documentation to demonstrate that anything non standard meets the relevant Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and Australian Standards (eg steering wheel)

    6. If you have a visible aftermarket ecu be prepared for an emissions test. It isn’t wise to go thru with anything non standard, especially if it’s visible.

    Your Attitude.

    1. Be cool, friendly, and relaxed.

    2. Demonstrate that you respect their rules and knowledge.

    3. Remember your manners

    4. If they pull you up on anything, politely ask what is needed to make it legal.

    5. Bite your tongue. They don't like attitude.

    Now that the basics are through, theres a lot of aftermarket things you can get away with, but then again its up to you how far you want to push it. Best to get it as standard as possible.

    For most obvious mods:

    Exhaust system will be fine if its not over 90db,

    Intercoolers are fine as long as no cuts to body structure have been made (includes reo bar),

    Pod filters are fine as long as theyre secured with brackets,

    Gauges (aftermarket) must be below the dash line and out of the crash pad zones, best to put them under your cd player if you must.

    Turbo timers, unplug and hide under dash or remove (you really dont need one in this day and age anyways)

    Boost controllers, remove.

    Steering wheel, if its aftermarket make sure it has E symbol on the back as well as your boss kit, if the car has airbag factory fitted, you MUST have an airbag (so standard wheel it is)

    Coilovers, can be engineered as long as they retain 3/4 of stroke and are locked at lowest legal height, need paperwork, easiest to remove

    Aftermarket suspension arms are no go

    Swaybars are ok as long as 1 piece (not welded)

    Brake modifications are usually ok, steel braded lines need to be ADR approved

    LSD is ok however locked/welded/shimmed or 2way they wont let through

    Any other bigger modifications will most likely get picked.

    At the end of the day its your attitude, stay cheery, don't be a smart ass, take interest in their work and be positive.

    Ive been through countless times with one or more things I shouldn't have been through and passed... hell I even had holes down the side of my rear quarter pannels from widebody kit that was removed, car in primer, pulled and flared guards, locked diff, hidden boost controller and gauges hiding under the dash and a few other bits and pieces and didnt have a problem..
