Ok looking to buy a couple things hopefully in the next couple weeks and i just waana double check there not a defect.

I dont think they are but in adel u never kno!

1. Is Fibreglass wider and vented front gaurds from PSI

2. I believe its called a T2 vented fibre glass bonnet from ISC-PERFORMANCE

Just after the nod that there ok!

Cheers

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.

Something along the lines of........

"Hi i was wondering if i could speak to someone regarding modifyling a car?"

Then ask.......

And then say

"Thankyou kind sir/madam"

And of course DONT give them your details..............

And NO i won't find the phone number for you!

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!

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
