I think its because they believe its unsafe to have your car engine running whilst not having to have a key in the ignition, i.e. a car whose engine is running that is unattended and unable to be turned off immediatly if required.

I am not sure why this is a problem mate, just what Ive heard.

got defected for track and a turbo timer the other night which sucks, just wondering why the hell a turbo timer is defectable? anyone know? i mean they add absolutely no perfomance and they come out standard in trucks.

turbo timers are useless in passenger cars.

learn how to drive easily for a few kilometres or idle your car for 30-60 seconds when you park. not that hard.

its been covered about 4,000 times why theyre not legal. just search for 'turbo timer'.

hey guys my mate just got defected (regency), hes got a pretty nuts chaser and were looking at his options now. if you could help out with providing maybe a chaser forum you know or sumone willing to lend sum parts will be awesome.

this is wat the car has:

forged motor

t67 turbo

external gate

greddy emanage

blitz electronic boost controller

full origin body kit with vented front guards

all around greddy coilovers

reclinable bucket seat

these are just some of the major things that we think aint gonna let the car pass

the car is immaculate so hes pretty devo and its too nice to turn it into a track car. :domokun:

hes just not sure on costs of having to buy stocko parts to put on. so were thinking of maybe selling it as is or swapping it for sumthin he can use cuz hes sick of it being defected.thats if we cant find ne1 2 maybe lend out sum parts.

go to a few importers or import wreckers, most are willing to help out with lending parts

Or if you can't/don't want to do it yourself. Take it down to a place like Sinergy or JMS and get them to take the car off defect for you

thus is true. cost a mate $1200 to get synergy to get his car past regency and it was VIRTUALLY stock. its costly but you knw the car will come back in one piece and past first time evrytime.

i personally would use JMS. synergy just rip ppl off

does anybody know if a aluminium radiator will have any problems goin through regency? (JJR aluminum radiator just for the record). or an oil cooler?

they shouldnt. neither are performance or structural mods - both are for engine longevity.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
