The Defected Thread...

Rims can be 2 inches bigger than what is stated on the tyre placard.

Wheel track width cannot exceed 26mm from the maximum specified track width of the car in question.

So the MAX track width on, say a R32 GTR is 1506 front and rear.

they said the same track width for my 32 gtst when i went through for compliancing.

[Damo_R34]

r32 and r33, both gts-t and GTR, are 1506 front and rear maximum track.

r34 gt-t and gt is 1506 front, 1496 rear, with GTR being same front and 1516 rear

i went through regency today. i failed. they picked me on not having my srs airbag lights on when the ignition is on. now i have to get a certificate that says its working from their recommended workshops. so i went and opened the dash up, to find out that there was no bulb in the airbag slot. so i put a bulb in, but when i turned on the ignition it still doesnt go on. can anyone help?

[Luke_ENR34]

Have you had a after market steering wheel in your car before?

[Nozila]

no. ive always had a stock wheel. i checked the abd fuse, it was ok. and i put a bulb in the abs slot. still hasnt worked. i also connected the cable that sits under the drivers seat. yet it hasnt worked.

[Luke_ENR34]

try disconnecting your battery, pump brake pedal 5times then connect and start the car.

[mid life crisis]

i would run a wire from the bulb holder to ignition switch so it lights up when the ign is on

[Nozila]

midlife

i would do that but the thing is, he says it should light up upon ignition - that your idea would fix that, but when he starts it - problem remains as the light would stay on. correct?

luke

i will give that a go.

thanks all

i also need a certificate that abs is working normally, does anyone here work at nissan? or know how much it would cost to get one of these certificates?

[Damo_R34]

question from a fellow member: He got defected for wheels too wide and its listed as "minor" on the defect slip, why has he been instructed to go to regency?

[typevu]

Get a multimeter into there and see if any powers getting to it...

[rad100]

because its a minor defect that regency will clear.

they tick minor all the time.. well the three times i been through they have!

Engineer can provide the certificate.

Nozilla...

Check if there is a constant live to the contacts. If there is then simply borrow/bridge the earth of another light that only comes on when you first turn the ignition.

[J - Rad]

Yep, got defected for my wheels 'hanging out of the guards' but still being in track and legal diameter. That's all he done me for, not to low or loud or ANYTHING other than that. I see that as revenue raising at its finest.

I'll be calling Regency tomorrow morning and explaining the lot to them. The officer even complimented me on how stock my car was! But I still got regency

[Nozila]

guys, i went to a mates house yesterday to see if we could sort the airbag light problem. this is what we found...

1. putting another blub in didnt work

2. that there is constant live to the contacts of the airbag slot, as the multimeter shows that power is there but it is pulsing (power going up and down)

3. realised that the pulsing shows that the airbag light would have been flashing (if a blub was in) - hence typical flashing of airbag light ppl on here get

4. disconnected the airbag module that sits under the centre console where the handbrake is and the multimeter showed that power to the abs light slot was on constantly (power steady)

my question is ....

1. firstly, how do i get the light working again?

2. my airbag light (if it had a blub in) is flashing. we have tried the pressing of the door button but that doesnt do the trick. would plugging in a nissan consult be able to reset this or would it just detect that there is an error with the airbags.

3. as for getting a certificate the inspector at regency gave me a copy of repairers they recognise. must i have to use one of them or can i use anyone that can provide me with an engineers certificate. if i was to go to a repairer they recommend, would they just do a visual test to see the light works or would they have to plug in software. cause if they do, bridging the contact would be pointless - i would think.

i know its a long post, but it details what is wrong and any more help would be appreciated.

Unsure when it comes to the airbag side of things.

Blackwood auto/dyno have a Nissan consult thinga majig that tells you all thats going on.

[Nozila]

a mate is leading me a consult. how it rectifies the problem. but with electronics, anything can happen. thats so far for the advice rogue.

Not cool.

Usually wheel-related defects, and only wheel related are a cop shop affair. So the cop musn't of liked you to send you to regency!
