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 defected last week for ride height, the thing is my ride height was fine. the cop wasn't using a tape measure he was estimating using his notebook! i had know way to prove him wrong. so now have to go through rengency, what a joke.

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

anyone know if the following are illegal?

non adjustable sway bars - fine

tension rod - not legal

rear camber arms - not legal

castor rods - not legal

2 way mech diff - if they can prove it :)

there you go mitch

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.

anyone know if the following are illegal?

non adjustable sway bars

tension rod

rear camber arms

castor rods

2 way mech diff

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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
