Hey guys, looks like I'm going ahead and finally getting myself a nice GTR ;) Problem is I need a standard bonnet and possibly drivers seat that I can borrow just for the visual inspection at Regency. Anyone able to switch their bonnet (preferably white) and drivers seat just for a day or two? Or even know somewhere I can loan them from?

Cheers

See if what is an issue Nick? The CF bonnet? If so I believe it is as AFAIK they need to meet ADR standards. But please by all means if you could give me the number just to check that would be awesome :)

Luke the no for Vehicle standards at regency is

1300 88 22 48

had a quick word to a friend down there and she doesn't think a carbon fibre bonnet will be a big issue. She said to watch out if the car is noticeably low or has a f'ing big exhaust on it. She recommends sturt over regency aswell.

I tried to call them today but got called out of the office so i couldn't stay on hold. It may take awhile to get through, other times i have had someone answer straight away

good luck with it all

U work at regency? Or are u offering to pay for his 2nd trip back when/if they defect it for not meeting ADR standards?

How about we leave it to him to ring regency...

He is welcome to do as he pleases, he has also seen my bonnet which was fine when i approached regency regarding its legality just 3 months ago.

EDIT: After inspecting the pics of the car, it is in fact the same bonnet.

No problems, i went in and spoke to a gentleman at regency regarding a range of mods on the car. As you remember it was extensively modified and according to him the only thing that needed to be done was raise the car, remove the tint, remove the computer, injectors and baffle the exhaust. To some that may sound like a lot but the list of things that needed to be removed was shorter than most would think.

Things that were fine were on my car:

19's

carbon fibre bonnet

coilovers(though needed to be raised but being adjustable is not a problem for regency)

hks filters

intercooler

two boot mounted 044 bosch pumps(he stated that the pumps were fine but the original computer and injectors would need to be in place).

I did the research first so that if and when i wanted to change the vic reg over to sa i would only have to go through once. Obviously Luke yours has some slightly different mods in other respects but the carbon bonnet will be fine according to the gentleman that i spoke to at regency.

He actually stated to me that yes the cops may have a problem with some of the mods but they were by no means illegal and would not have a problem passing an inspection.

Still, give them a call or drop in regarding all your mods before you go for your inspection just for peace of mind. They wont defect you over the phone or counter, they will appreciate that you are trying to comply with their standards.

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
