hate to burst your bubble, but i was defected (and still are) for 5mm too low on the rear and 10mm on the front. It states it on the defect form, so they will be checking when i go through. Ive had them pull out the tape in the past as well.

what car and heights were you running at the time (if you dont mind me asking)?

Just to clarify. There are 2 legal (Australian Design Rule) requirements, one is a minimum 100 mm ground clearance, the other is 2/3rds the original suspension travel. Both have to pass to be "legal". So a car that is legal at 365 with a 3" exhaust (ie; at 100 mm ground clearance) may be an illegal 88mm with a 3.5" exhaust.

Regency have a reputation for using their own rules, so best to check exactly what their interpretation of "2/3rds the original suspension travel" is for your particular model. Get it in writing if possible, because Regency also have a reputation for changing their mind.

:laugh: cheers :P

Bothof those are requirements, and in SA we also have "eyebrow height" requirements to deal with also, as contained in information bulletin 44 for vehicles later than 1970. This falls under the "bump rubber clearance" classification.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
