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.

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?

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?

Engineer can provide the certificate.

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

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.

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!

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
