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.

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!

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
