Spare tyre, you need it. I'd get rid of the amp and all wiring there just in case and as for the battery tray, make it look as nice as possible :)

spare tyre i have been told u dont need, but i have chucked mine in every time, im sure someone could lend ya a space saver, dont think anyone actually ever uses theirs lol.

and rear brake light? i got a stealth spoiler hence no brake light as i would have if i had my series 2 spoiler on. would i need one? also, my in cabin boot release dont seem to work anymore, would that be a problem?

like others have said i think, u do need an eye level one, just a rear window brake light from any auto place will do.

i thought you would need a brake light. as for child restraint, i need to source one as i removed mine and cant locate it anymore. wasnt it just one metal bracket or was it two metal brackets?

ovrtym33

were you in the inspection bay with the inspector or were you sitting in a waiting room? was this recent or a while back?

i went through without child restraints and didnt get picked up as i did like urs, took them out and couldnt find them. i think they usually only look for them for compliance, not something they look for with roadworthy.

btw im not reccomending anyone to go to regency without this stuff, just telling u my experiences with how they have picked on them.

not 100% sure about the 2" thing, i know that used to be the law, but im pretty sure these days it runs on overall rolling diametre, but not many cops really know about it (bit like most defect laws really). would be worth calling regency about that one.

Yeah, it was the law for years, but who knows how tough they are these days? I passed with a rim which was 2" bigger than what was on the tyre placard through Regency about a year or so ago.

i think you don't need to have a space saver but if you do it must have the reccomended top speed

Yes if you have a space saver, 80km/h MUST be written on it - texta, sticker, anything.

I'm not 100% sure on that Dan but I do know that I passed Regency twice with my cooler left on. It's got Earls fittings... so long as everything is routed/fitted nicely I beleive they are fine with it

Since Regency checks the numbers on the turbo housing, is it still possible to get stock r32 gtr turbos new, or any turbos made by other companies that would have the matching numbers on the turbo housing as the stock r32 turbos?

Are space savers only the yellow one? I got a black spare wheel that seems to just say "temporary use only" and "inflate to yadida amount of kPa(60psi)"... its alot skinnier than a standard wheel but not as skinny/small as those yellow space savers I've seen... so it doesnt need the "max speed of 80km/h" does it?

Space savers can be red or yellow... you'll see if it's a space saver if the tyre is very, very skinny!

Pretty sure most Skylines have space savers (or you might have a full tyre?)

They don't care about the tread or anything on the space saver... it just needs the 80km/h max written on it, as my space saver looks like it's been in the car for the lifetime of it lol...

Just as a precaution Vu, just whip out the tipex, or something white (even cream lol) and write 80k/h max on it. You'd hate to only get failed for that one thing!!

Folks, I've just rang Regency and spoke to an inspector regarding Window Tint and whats legal:

No tint on the front windscreen (except up the very top... but don't bother if it hasn't come from factory).

75% light transmission on the driver and front passenger side windows and the rear windscreen

35% light transmission on the windows behind the driver and front passenger (those little triangle ones)

Cheers

can you turn the turbo timer off?

if you can, turn it off and leave the key in there without the remote... obviously leave your alarm off during the inspection and it shouldn't be a problem.

they cant pick on remote start if they don't know it has one...

but can they just look up the alarm specs and do you purely on that basis?

my remote start has to be activated using the remote before i turn off the engine otherwise it just turns off normally.

helso, whats a key fob? what i intending to do was to through without the remote alarm, saying i lost it. leaving just the unit in the car and its associated wiring.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
