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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
