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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
