what did you get done for?? and where... ive got sum spare h1 globes and fitting plates.. jsut a matter of pulling off your pos and neg wires off your ballast (not illigal to have random wires) weve got sum stock suspension, stock coolers, and if they wona b hell priks might have to get our turbo mission on

yeh intercoolers are fine as long as:

1. reo bar isn't hacked up

2. everything tight and nothing hanging under the bumper

3. the cut holes for the piping are neat and treated so they don't rust

Well when i went to regency, took it totally back to stock, replaced suspension, pretty much all bushes, all exaust mounts, everything. and they still got something on me.

my advice, take off what you can. and just go, and get the list they give you! then they cannot search for anything else, got that advice from a compliance shop!.

otherwise u just end up spending like 4k like i did on parts etc, to just take them off and put brand new parts in shed after regency.

ok so i went in today for my inspection. as i thought they did me for my turbo not to fussed about that as it is not stock and i will cop no i just have to put my old one on. the two other 2 things i got done for which im pretty pissed off about is my BOV (which is plumbed back into its original position) was classified as a defect as its not the original one. he didnt care that my old one leaked and that my car backfired all the time. the other thing im a bit suprised about is that i have to put on my old stock boost controller as having the vacume line go from the wastegate to the intercooler pipe was not good enough.

the things i didnt get done for were my front mount, my 4 piston front brakes, my exhaust which funnily enough he only did by ear.

now for the hillarious part. once i finish this write up im about to start removing and replacing my turbo. on my defect notice it states that i have to have an O.E.M certified report. this means that once i put the old turbo on i have to go to nissan and have them certify the turbo is the standard one. i thought that was the whole reason we take our car to get inspected. if they cant tell if it's the standard one on there how can they tell if i don't have a standard one. now i have to ring around all the nissan dealerships and see if they can do this or not.

just the ang the mob i brought the car from and they will certify it after i change it at a cost of $110. nissan said they would only certify it they supplied me with a (BRAND NEW) one. i politly hung up and swore afterwards

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
