Im not 100% on the exact rule but I have known people to get defected for vents etc on the bonnet or guards. A guy in a pulsar ET had a flush mounted vent in the bonnet and was defected because 'it was dangerous to pedestrians'.

All GTiR's should be defected no?

If it's not standard then yes u will get defected.

now on gaurds and bonnets.

If a idiot was to walk into your path of motion and u were to run them down would the vents in ur wanted bonnet slice them up or throw them over the roof?

Basically wat Mr & Mrs po po are saying is will it screw the pedestrian up more if u were to hit them or not.

Be careful of wat you buy.

You will most likely get defected for your bonnet more then your front gaurds.

Ring them up and find out, Best way to do it, instead of asking random people on here!

Maybe we should sticky Regency's phone number somewhere, so when threads like this are made every month, people can just use and find out direct!

seriously what do u ask if u ring regency? do they kno what ur talking about exactly our what?

I was led to believe that anything affecting the vehicles impact charecteristics and physics was deemed defectable by regency, IE altering your reinforcement bar to fit an Intercooler, or changing your bonnet to a carbon fibre one. I think fibreglass or hardened plastic is accepted though because it wont harm the pedestrian as much as steel to the head or carbon fibre wedged in the mid torso.

Then ask.......

i think you'll find most of the time when getting pulled over by the popo its because they notice something on your car that looks 'defectable'. Most of the time you won't even get defected for the reason they pulled you over in the first place!

What i'm trying to say is that even though the vented bonnet and the widened guards may or may not be defectable it will still give the cops a reason to pull you over, don't give them a reason to pull u over!

They wont pull you over for the sake of "its a skyline" unless you do something or they are just an old c**t with nothing better to do than harrass anyway.

i never said they'd pull u over just cause u have a skyline, i said they'd be more likely to pull u over if your skyline had things like vented bonnet and widened guards, all up to u i guess!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
