Even when u get to regency its a person by person basis which determines how u go.

This is what people should be complaining about as they are all supposed to be following ADR laws which SHOULD be the same for all australia....which we all know they are not.

Yes, it sucks but basically you can be defected for anything non standard.

Actually from what i've heard you can get defected for anything standard as well - depends on the mood of the cop.

If the car is legal you can head straight to a cop station and they'll remove the defect but it would still be unnecessary hassle.

I'm of the understanding that if you take an SA car to Victoria and get it defected, then it is only defected in Victoria. Take it to another state, or return to SA, and the defect does not stand. However if you never clear the defect in Vic, and then if you return with the same car (or the next owner does) then you can get busted by the vic police for it. Which is what people said on page 1 :D

If you want to know if anything is defectable just give regency a call. The people there are the ones who can help. I enquired about a pod filter originally and they advised that as long as you don't affect anything to do with emissions, or change the AFM, then it's legal. Also Regency should be able to send you written information. Most mods are legal, but the catch is you need to get an engineers certificate for it to prove it. If you can provide the cop with written information proving your mod is legal, then he more than likely won't defect you for it, BUT if you get booksmart on them they'll often get cocky and find something else to defect you for :\

Bear in mind that getting through regency is different to being defected. Cops can get you for anything non-standard that they suspect to be an issue, and they force you to go to regency to get it checked out. If the cops are wrong, then regency will clear the car - but if they find anything that isn't legal, they won't clear it. AFAIK that's the point of the system.

Hiya. I just took my car through regency with a pod and big front mount still on the car. No problems.... and I had 3 staff members going over the car at the same time, so you should be ok.

POD and FMIC are fine in SA. Just don't cut the body/chassis in anyway for the piping and you're fine. Just make sure that POD is bracketed down (the only thing some of them like to pick on). Both brother and myself went through regency with both

um..a cop can defect u for suspicion of a defectable car. so either way, ur f**ked if a coppa doesnt like u, hence be as nice as possible even if ur car is not defectable (not really possible as pretty much every single car on the road has atleast one un-roadworthy item)

Remembering back to the days of school when we had a mr policeman come and visit us in yr 9. The idea was to educate us a little about road safety.

I remember he suggested if we get pulled over to jump out of the car with your license ready and try to approach them before they approach you. Obviously don't get out the car and run at them - lmao - as you'll probably end up on the ground or have a gun pointed at your head.

Its worked for me so far (touch wood), its a bit of a laugh when it catches them off guard and they are fumbling quickly to try and grab their bits and pieces as you wait. Not all but some. :happy:

If anything I do it simply for my own amusement. :)

the only time ive been officially pulled over i was doing something very wrong so i was pretty much stone cold in a full car of dickheads coming up with bs excuses. ended up all good, lucky he wasnt a prick otherwise i would have been taking a bit of time off the whole driving thing and have my car in the lockup.

ud hate it if they saw u getting out and thought u were gonna try and make a run for it on foot.

Hey buddy. Yeah, the car went through fine, even got decent fellas too. I hope youre enjoying the diff.

I'm gonna have to give this dyno day a miss, as the car is still in standard form from regency.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
