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!

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
