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's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
