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.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
