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

hey i have a rear brake light that goes in the rear window ADR standards u can borrow!!

and i have a 93 r32 and i have side indicators!!

mine werent amber enough when i got defected lol

drop us a pm if u wanna borrow the light!

cheers

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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!
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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
