Just recently i got my car regency defected by a motorbike cop, who are the worse to deal with, i guess they needed to fill their quota. Anyway i took my car to ***EDITED PM ME FOR DETAILS*** to get a defect package done plus a little work, FMIC, boost controller, duno tune and some general repairs. Now i know a few guys swear by them and i don't want to step on any toes and have brilliant dealings with them in the past.

They got it cleared through regency (bill was several thousand) but i ran into a few problems the day i picked it up. The car was slower than before i took it there and got slower as the days went by. It turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. I got that fixed and ran very well, only for it to break down at 5.30 in the morning. Smoke out the bonnet.

The entire wiring loom from battery to firewall completely melted. To make matters worse some F*** kicked in the back quarter and going to cost 2g to get it panel beated, bastards. The side skirt they 'repaired' and stuck with silicone, which expands under heat, has come off looking quite ugly. At ****** they snobbed me off and tried telling me that the standard motor wasn't designed to revv and the standard turbo was why it was so slow. Being dyno tuned, I would of thought thay would of picked up any problems.

Felt that since i am young they didn't know what i was talking about but i was a large walking pinata. Like i said before, don't want to upset anyone but becarefull who you take your baby too.

hence why I don't let any workshops touch my car - except Donnon to tune it.

I have been financially hit by pretty much every big name performance workshop in the North-eastern area when I was green and modified my S15.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
