Failed 1st Check At Regecny

[blackprincegts]

Hey everyone.

I had another thread in the suspension area about my car being defected for being too low. Well i went through regency yesterday and they didnt even check the eyebrow height measurement that i got defected for. lol.. just straight over the pits. Anyway the guy has written on my form

Re-instate eyelevel rear brake light

Re- instate 5 degree side indicators

Fix broken manifold stud

fix exhaust leak after cat converter.

Brake light is fair enough i think because i forgot that the spoiler was taken off when the car ws sprayed etc, easily fixed but the guy rekns that my car should have indicators in the front guards that must be visible from 5degrees at rear of car. My car is a r32 92 11th month. It doesnt even look like indicators were in there in the 1st place. No wiring for them etc. Just wanted to check if anyone knows if my car being the last of the 32's has to have these indicators installed ? My old 89 and my wifes 90 model havnt got them.

Oh and i asked the guy why has this been picked up now and not the other 4 times all up with the last owner the car has been through regency, and he said i have no idea.. lol.

So yeah anyone know if he's talking crap or not ?

Cheers

[blackprincegts]

thanks for the offer dude. Iv got my old trx pinny rear brake light here im going to put in, it also sits in the rear window..

ok if your 93 has them then its a good indication that the inspector was correct and my car did have them..

cheers for your quick reply!

Do you have aftermarket front quarter panels?? Seems strange that it doesn't have them as it would have needed them to comply when imported!

[blackprincegts]

nah i believe that there stock front panels. Im thinking that if my car did have them b4 that they were removed and the holes welded over when the last owner had the car sprayed from black to how green

my brother got stick on indicators that just require a small hole to be drilled for the wire, theyr clear now amber though so dont know if theyll like that..

rad33... lol... defected for indicators not being amber enough... lol

[Murry33]

is your r32 a GTS only? if so i don't believe they had side indicators at all

[rad100]

yeh i had clear side indicators with orange globes but the globes were "worn" lol

[blackprincegts]

worn globes... must be all the burnouts you were chucking with them right ? bit like how my tune up sticker could of caused a serious crash. lol

nah cars a gts t.. my old 89 wasa gts, didnt have them... my wifes isa 1990 4dr gts t and hasnt got them either

[Deluxe]

Yeh the Holden VT are rather suttle, They are good to get, and are clear!

[kairazy]

my old 92 model R32 didn't have side indicators? never had an issue

[cruzin33]

What do you mean by eyebrow height?

[Basti]

fyi, your car doesnt have indicators cos the compliancer didnt feel they were necessary. if you look at your normal front indicators, i believe r32s have a slight bulge or a lump to them. this can function as a side indicator by being visible from behind/5degrees. this was as designed by nissan and its really up to the inspector/compliancer to decide. im guessing if you look at two cars from different workshops they may even have different shaped lights cos the mechanics may have a differnt source for them.

anyway y not check to see if they comply your self. it shouldn't be too hard for you to stand next to your car and have a look.

i have a 32 4dr that passed on thurs and i never had to install side indicators but they did look for them. i told the guy that they are in the front indicators. they have a seperate section and even have their own globe and he over looked it after that. mines an 89 tho.height was my biggest prob. had to hire suspension.

[blackprincegts]

cheers 4 all the replies fellas.

I actually discussed the whole indicator thing with the regency inspector and said to him that in my eyes the buldge on the front indicator is visibl from 5 degrees however he said theres no 2 ways about it i need to install them. How do i argue with regency though, its stupid, they set down the rules and they dont even listen when you try to explain i find.

Cruizen33 : eyebrow height is from bottom lip of guard to centre of the wheel.. should be 360mm minimum on an r32, even though all the stock ones iv measured so far fall around the same as mine 357ish which is one of the things i was defected for in the 1st place.. In my case, regency didnt even check this, so in other words they didnt even bother checking what the cops originally defected me for. pfft,

as far as ive seen through regency 89-mid 90 32's dont have to have side indicators but anything after that must have them. The wernt direct from the factory so the place where the car was complienced should put them on.

[Oosh]

My 89 R32 has no side indicators, but it's been in the country for a fair while.

hmmm interesting.. The compliance plate says Priority Porsch Imports.. Meh, i think im going to have to just bite the bullet and install the bastards..3rd week now of not being able to drive my car is getting very frustrating not to mention all the hardship it causes without my car. I just want it back on the road.

Cheers

[MattR]

its not that hard a job, just need to run the wires from the front indicators. The hardest part is drilling the right size holes in the guards and making them level to each other.

my r32 went through regency without side indicators and passed ok, this was last year but.
