This is the biggest worry.

You will get hardly anything aftermarket through once that is done.

Pretty much 100% stock as a rock. Exhausts won't pass, no boost increase, pods and intercoolers might not even get through.

Definitely a worry. Those with rebuilt motors will have to ensure they keep all the quench standard as opening up the quench has emissions go to shit.

Thicker headgaskets.. poor emissions also. :P

Sorry to hear Darren,

if you need any other parts, post it up and I might have some lying around

I have a complete stock diff assembly at home also, but this may be needed as my 1.5way is showing signs of wear

thanks. Looks like i only really need an rb20 afm - or a r33 series 1 green sticker one

Im wondering if they would let my Bilsteins through??

I can get em set to std height via the circlip. Manta racing will machine a groove to put em up to std height for me.

Just gunna paint em black and set then to std height, and hope for the best :laugh:

suspension requires a vis check

shite, u learn something everyday!

When i got done about 1.5yrs ago the copper told me that to go to regency you needed to get done for something emission related or more than 3 things!

like when i got done............for an out of date LPG tank

got it tested, could hav basically walked into a cop shop with the paperwork and got it cleared, but got sent for VIS instead :ninja:

The nice policeman politely showed me on the front of one of his books the list of thigs which either require a VIS inspection, or just a police station clearance.

Suspension shows a vis check.

Then he tells me "If it was an oil leak, that only requires a trip to the police station. See here".

The funny part was he was looking for what height the car is supposed to be std. He then sees r32 GTR and says "Yes, see it says here 275mm..." I then proceed to show him in his book that mine is listed as a r32 GTST and yes, the height is supposed to be 360mm (I cant remember now though for some reason...too much trauma) not the 275 he was going to measure.

so how much too low would u hav been at the 275mm height?

or wouldnt it hav been too low?

im at 330mm in the front, 350mm in the rear.

@ the correct height, im 30mm too low in the front, and 10mm to low in the rear.

@ 375mm (if this was measured) id obviously be 45mm too low in the front, and 25mm in the rear.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
