Regency Defect Questions

[Guest CleanAndSimple]

hey all....

going threw the shitty process of regency (first timer), just got a few questions.

my car is a r33 gts-t type M btw.

1. Rear Windscreen Wiper Has Been Removed/Motor aswell. and plugged. Is that illegal? and should i get one before regency?

2. is it illegal for all 5 lights to light up when braking? went to an autoelectrician for another job, and they mentioned how all 5 light up upon braking.

3. my car is a 1993 did they come with an airbagged steering wheel? stupid i know. but went to Jap Imports (Magill Road) and they didnt seem to know and it went threw my head after getting home (now need to return/exange steering wheel). and any places i can take my car to get an autorized person to fit my stock wheel? indicators do not cancel so that needs to be fixed. mite be the boss kit tho not sure

cheers guy.

may i say a special thanks to sargeant C**T of norwood police station for making me spend 1500 on getting threw regency so far.

have you thought about calling up regency and asking them?

[Guest CleanAndSimple]

just thought someone mite know from previous experiences. that is all. no reason to be smart about it (as was planning on ringing them. just seeing if anyone new about any of this before i went and got in shit with my boss for being on the phone at work ay).

93 doesnt come with air bag and rear wiper doesnt need to be on not liek they check rear wipers anyways.. and 3 lights to light up when breaking is fine..

[nos man]

if all the five lights are factory lights i don't see why it won't pass! not sure about the rear wiper but you have a series 1 r33 so you don't have a air bag! air bags only came in series 1.5 and series 2

thank you kind sir. thats what i needed to know. appricated. see you round on the roads (only one month untill it is back on the road. WOOT!)

[Madaz]

i was under the impression you could order the S1 with an airbag and S2 they were all standard

[d--]

my s1 has the stock wheel, and no airbag for me.

nope, if i crash, my face meets my wheel :<

they dont seem to like all the lights to light up. best thing to do is just take out the globes for the middle two lights and replace em when done. only takes a sec and then they cant have a go at you.

Rear windscreen wiper removed is legal. Just look around at all the cars who have them missing because they've been ripped off in those stupid brush car washes!!

lol, he didn't make you do anything, ADR's did, he was just doing what he's paid to do

a mate of mine is a cop at Norwood and he seems to think the Sarg is a fair bloke

Hey mate i know the feeling, stupid regency!! I had to go thru there bout 3 months ago, They filled up the entire page with defects!!

Basically everything you have modded in ya car can be defectable. Definetaly put a rear wiper on. Not sure bout lights but u need a eye level light which u have. As for steering wheel it doesnt come with an airbag but best to put on a stock steering wheel (i have one if u wish to borrow). I assume u have an aftermarket sports steering wheel and boss kit. Regency only approve momo and issotta boss kit and steering wheels and they have to compliment each other, eg. if u have momo steering wheel then u must have a momo boss kit. I had a HKB boss kit and momo steering wheel so boss kit got defected :@ :@ ended up jus putting in a stock steering wheel...

[craig R33]

some 33's come factory without rear wiper, so i wouldnt be to worried with that, as for the rest,

best to call regency etc to get the info first hand.

lol @ everyone getting shitty over defects, if you modify your car in a way that

stands out like dogs balls, expect to get a new sticker on your windscreen soon or later,

dont blame the cop for doing his job, he didnt write the rule book

ah a friend of mine mentioned something to me tonight. i have a viper 791xv alarm. comes with remote start/turbo timer. i am aware turbo timers are illegal but what about remote start. any idears how i should go about this? anyone got this sorta stuff and been threw regency with it?

[heslo]

Mine passed with the Viper installed, the inspector even remote started the car but was a decent enough bloke to let it slide, just don't give them the keyfob, only your key. They need not know what alarm you have

We're seeing this more and more lately

Nothing wrong with modding your car, just be discrete about it. And if you're busted, take it on the chin.

whats the point, youll call them and get 30 different answers. none of which would be right

? why wouldnt they want this. if the lights were put there standard its fine for them to work :s

all five lights? im guessing you mean the 2 on each side and one on the spoiler? when i went through i had one on each side and a spolier and past. went through again with the spolier removed and all brake lights working and a eye level light fitted in the rear window and passed. you only need one on each side and an eye level light but if there all working even better.

dissable the TT on the alarm (check the handbook on the viper alarm and it will tell you how to do it) and dont worry about remote start. do as heslo said and dont give them the pager. i did this with my dvd player. took the face off it and they dont have to know its there.

not sure. just when i took my car through for compliance a couple of years ago the inspector told me to take out the globes or hed fail me. might have just been that one guy though, and the rules may have changed.

Ive been through a couple more times but removed the globes for these inspections so dont know if theyll still fail you for em.

Hey mate

I have a r33 s1 and got defected a couple of weeks back

So i went through regency and by the sounds of things you dont have to change much on your car for it to pass

just make sure there is no leaks

looks standard and has all standard parts back on ie steering wheel

make sure you have legal tread on your wheels

dont worry abt the rear lights as i had all 5 on mine working and the inspector said it was fine

make sure the height is legal and also you have a clean looking engine bay

tidy it all up and make it look presentable mate

good luck
