[okooko]

Hey all,

Just wondering what i can/cannot have on my car when i put it through an ID inpsection (same to defect inpsection?) at regency.

Recently purchased a 32 gtr from interstate now its here, all stock apart from

-ballast hid kit

-turbo timer (now pulled out)

-gear knob no shift pattern (will a sticker pattern do?)

Cheers guys

id checks and regency inspections are very different.

theyre only checking to make sure all the numbers make sense when you got to an id check (make sure its not stolen, etc), however, if youre car is obviously defectable, sitting on the deck, huge wheels poking out the gaurds, exhaust that you can hear from the next postcode, etc, they will send you to regency, just be sensible. and yes, a sticker with the shift pattern on it will suffice.

My tip - don't get the woman inspector lol. She spent a good 20 minutes just searching for my engine number. She was so rude!

But yeah, make sure stuff like:

-Tyre must have 80k/h written on it

-This might not apply to you, but I needed the GTR manual in my glovebox!

-Tyres are correct size as per tyre placard (again, might not apply)

-Baby restraints are in

-Seat belts working

It's pretty easy to pass

[CRoNic...]

Mind riot, well done for getting through with only 1 inspection!

Pod filters will always pass, provided they are secure and stuff.

my brothers ID check the guy poked his head out the car, "thats a nice car u got there", signed the papers......... all done lol

Yeah i had brackets made up for the pod

regency guy was trying to move and yeah good luck doing that

its tight as....lol he was a pain last time around

[CRoNic...]

Speaking of brackets, one time I got pulled over in my old car, the cop was checking the battery to see if it was secure. He was rattling it so hard! The mounts were about to snap. It was so stupid.

A little wobble would be sufficient.

[Krishy]

i would like to see the results of the brake test now lol

slotted rotors bite so much harder....

[SkyHi_33]

haha my car had horrible braking first time round coz the fluid was all dirty and i got 98% average... it felt so unsafe to drive.

pod filter will pass with brackets

front mounts will pass if the reo hasn't been cut, they're not fussed about sheet metal bit as long as its neatly cut and rust proofed. (and even most of the time trimmed reo bars will pas as long as they aren't cut straight down the middle sorta thing)

cat back is fine as long as its within legal noise.

I guess it's time to sell my skyline..not safe to own one anymore both from the police and thieves...

hi mate, make sure you have your full VIN stamped on the RH shock tower or some other place. the workshop next door will be happy to empty your wallet by $50 to stamp afew numbers.

[J - Rad]

Well, got a new list of defects to clear

front bushes are on their way out and the rubber covering on my castor arm had a 2cm split. Back to Regency I go..
