you can still re-register a defected car if you really wanted.

it has to be done manually rather then electroniclly so you must go into a rego office and they fill out a paper type rego.

once cleared, you take the paper form of rego to a rego office and they transfer the remaining rego to their computer and give you a legit rego sticker.

Yeah but to get the permit to get rego he needs to drive to the police shop, which he cant do without rego, unless it still has rego now?

nah, he doesnt have to deal with the cops first. a permit to drive from the cops would be useless if its not rego'd as even with the back of the defect paperwork is filled out your not legally allowed to drive a unrego'd car (stating the obvious, i know)

all he needs in a regency date before he goes into rego a defected car. the car does not have to be with you just your rego and defect forms.

they will check your regency date, or at least wait on hold for as long as they can stand and have to take your word for it.

once it has the manual rego filled out, he can get a permit from the cops (the back of the defect paper work filled out) to drive the car around while defected.

you are allowed to drive a defect car without a permit if you are going to the cop station to get a clearence to drive.

BE WARNED, if a cop pulls you over and the mods listed on defected paper work are not actually cleared, he holds all right to pull your permit to drive till your regency date an youll be up shit creek as your car will need to be towed.

i have done this more then my fair share. i used to always for some reason get defected just before my rego ran out :P

EDIT: i just re-read what you wrote chad. the rego office doesnt have to have a clearence on the back of the defect notice before giving temp rego. if thats what you meant?

i got done the similar way.....except mine was a "suspected suspension damage" so i dont know whats worse...

i would just get it measured by a suspension place and if its all good challenge them in court i guess

cops notebook is 100mm tall which he runs under the lowest part of the car.......I had a similar thing happen to me when a cop followed my bike to JK's shop (Cara was there too when he went over the thing)....no defect though, instead he followed me back home to grab a poster for his kid, lol

Castor rod and camber arms are as far as I know. Mech 2 way is also, but I have known people to get through with one even with it chirping away in front of the inspectors. Sway bars should be fine. What does the tension rod do? Is it like a rear strut brace or something?

it bolts on the front infront of the sway bar to make the front end more rigid afaik

i doubt they are different

gtr's run 10psi stock if im correct and im running an rb20 actuator which does 12 so it shouldnt be a problem?

there is no way they will be able to tell the difference, I don't think it will be an issue.

sway bar shouldnt be an issue, camber arms they'll fail you for because theyre rose jointed or some shit, tension rod/castor rod... same same? either way, if its adjustable, get rid of it, and if they question your diff chirping along, say it was recently rebuilt.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
