Regency needs demolishing - I just got failed with my Cedric because....wait for it....no English owner's manual...

Is it an ADR requirement?

If not Lawyer up, and since you were going to use it as a promational aid for your business on the weekend claim damages as well.

If it is an ADR requirement then half the second hand cars i have bought have been defectable (which i'm sur they would be anyway). I'd also be interedted to know if any of the imports that go through regency would have an english manual, i know my 180 doesn't.

If they start getting claims agains them every time they MAKE UP THEIR OWN RULES then it'll stop, and if it's an open and shut case like i assume this one is it won't cost the car owner as they will win the case.

sigh, had my HID's installed by Ric today, worked awesome, had em on most of the time i was getting around (had to get tyres, wheel alignment, wanky gear knob, stuff to make my car look respectable on sunday), get home mid afternoon, realise id forgotten milk (funny that, never forgotten milk before), jump back out to the car, start it up, pop the headlights on, and bang, only one works.

so i head back to Auto Perfection, get there at about 4:30, just as theyre about to knock off and have another customers car to drop off, Ric checks everything, diagnoses a faulty ballast (swapped the good side to the faulty side and it worked), and spends the next 30 odd minutes undoing the HID install, putting in new halogen globes, and new arctic blue parkers (one of each was blown), and sends me on my way with working headlights.

so yeah, basically, another big +1 to Ric at Auto Perfection.

/shameless plug.

now i just need to send my HID's back to the guy who organised the group buy, and hopefully get a new set...

I had the joys of going to Elizabeth today to get something fixed on my car. I had 3 Facepalm and 1 LOL moments.

The first facepalm came at the Elizabeth Library when some 10 or 11 year olds were using the cumputers behind me. They were looking up porn and clicked on one of those "Get your IQ Now" ads, which they completed. Then a message came up asking them to enter their phone number. Being a good citizen I told them that it was a scam, and they shouldn't enter their numbers because it would wipe their credit off. They replied "Oh, we're not entering our number, we're putting in our mum's". Facepalm.

Then the second facepalm came when I went to the food court for some KFC. Why does every second kid have partially bleached 80s style/Bon Jovi haircuts? Facepalm.

On the way home then I saw a fulli hektik SS Ute with the plates "TOA". My guess was "Tired on Arrival"? LOL Moment.

Then later there was a commodore with flame stickers on the bonnet and side. Facepalm.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
