btw do we really need a new thread for a single defect? its the same question every time, not to be an arsehole but if every import driver posted up when they got defected ud have no room left for any other topics.

Same defect question yet only now have I found who/where to get the final answer regarding eyebrow heights without calling in. Thanks Howie! This place is meant to be a resource for finding information and I think it did a pretty good job so far. I did search through here prior to making the thread. True, I vented a bit but I was more interested in the information so far presented.

Pet peeve of mine is the obscuring of information that should be publicly available yet the pdf was not online anywhere at all...also eyebrow height measurements weren't always around.

the eyebrow height has been mentioned a lot over the years, a quick search would find that.

all im saying is one thread with all the collective info would be better then seeing a new defect thread pop up each week with the same questions.

Nisskid, you tried searching for "eyebrow height R32 GTR" here? Theres 3 threads...with no info specific to it. The cop that got me actually tried to ping me for an R32 GTSt, which was something like 360/360. It'd really help if we were informed and I'll be printing that PDF and keeping it in my glovebox from now on.

damn maybe you should head to melbourne '' the place to be DEFECTED '' ive had soooo many defects on my car, its not funny

dont worry, get a RWC ( if needed ) take it in an get it cleared.... FINISHED

SA is much worse than Vic, even most vics know that.

Am I the only person here who has been defected for 3 things and not sent to regency?...

When I had my R32 I got done for monster tacho and shift light, steering wheel and turbo timer and just got sent to the cop shop for a check when I had fixed those things....

consider yourself lucky i got a four door low but very clean,no kit. and havent even had it a year n been done regency twice, once got past n now 3 weeks after defected again.

yeh the 4drs certainly dont seem to deter cops, ive been defected 3 times by cops in the last 6 months. mines not even that low, maybe 20mm below standard, standard body with a GTR front bar.

funny how some people keep getting defected more than once yet other's dont seem to have a problem .

ive had my car over 3 yrs now and i know it's too low too loud and the tints too dark and am expecting the dreaded yellow sticker at some stage . i was recently pulled over for a license check and the police man did not even look at my car .

he was very polite just asked if the car had rego looked at my license asked if i had any weapons in the car i said doe's my walking stick count ? said have a nice day and that was that . not at any stage did he go within 20 ft of the car as soon as i pulled over i got out and walked to his car .

dodged a bullet that day lol

a lot of its luck, i know as soon as i get a cop whether they will defect me or not, im still really nice to them either way, but i can tell that they are looking for a defect. saying that a lot of cops arent nessasarily there for a defect, but if ur a c*nt to them, they wont have any issues pulling out the yellow sticker.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
