Hi,my name is brett!

I just got my L's and bought a Gunmetal grey R32 and i let a mate drive it and we got it defected for a blow off valve!

my car has an exhaust with no cat. and i have a HKS 25/30 turbo.

so i was wondering if any1 could help me out.

Im after a stock turbo, exhaust and steering wheel.

i dont know where to get anything from and none of my mates can help me.

if any1 on SAU can help me that would be great.

thanks for your time!

Welcome to SAU mate, spewing about the defect, as for the items needed i'd just look in the For Sale section on here to find everything you need mate, other than that i can only suggest going down to see Marky at Exhaust Technology and see if he has any stock 32 systems laying around you could buy!

Good luck buddy!

You shouldn't need a completely stock exhaust system, just one that has a Cat, and isn't too loud.

I'd just get a cat put in, and a small muffler on the rear, I've got two interchangable rear mufflers for my car. Most people on here can vouch just how loud my LOUD muffler is, but with the quieter one on it's more than legal.

Had a similar problem.. Theres a place out wingfield i think it might be ( the name escapes me right now, ill try find it and let u know asap) but its all nissan spares - they actually 'rent' parts to you, for regency inspections etc. A stock steering wheel will cost u $50 to borrow for the day, just go there before regency, borrow the wheel and return it after youre done. U can buy it if u wish, they are pretty cheap.

Same goes for the turbo.. think they do the same with that.

With the cat, i 'borrowed' one from AAA exhaust at richmond - cost me bout $50 and they lent it to me for the day, including fitting and then removing it.

They will go over your whole car, they tested my horn, seatbelts (that they retract properly) etc..

Good luck

getting turbos changed is a major labour cost - prepare to be reamed if you get a workshop to do it.

If you have an aftermarket turbo, you almost certainly have an aftermarket ECU, which is also illegal and Regency will check.

Also check your chassis rails and strut towers for any sort of rust, as the don't like that at all.

Sorry to say that the vast majority of imports that go into Regency come out with more defects than they went in with ....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
