Was reading "bonnet issues" and was wondering if anyone knows if a r32 GTR bonnet and grill is a clean swap onto a r32 GTST? Also, i have a set of rims, 265/45/18. The rim sits outside the guard but the tyre wall flexis inward so the tread is under the guard. Is this legal? Some police say it isn't and others say as long as the tread is under the guards it's legal.

Also, also, have to go over regency and i have removed the air conditioner radiator etc... will i need to put it all back on before it'll get passed?

I'm on holidays and bored so i thought i'd share. The history of my 32.

Bought it 4 years ago when i was 18 (now 22). About 8 months later i had it regency defected, then had an accident in it 2 weeks after. It needed the whole drivers side front and rear panels and door. It sat around for a bit under 2 years untill i got it "fixed". Took it too a panel beater and he did such a bad job that the door ajar warning light is always on. Then off to the mechanic who got the defect clear (about 3 months ago). They did such a bad job that the car was running worse than before i gave it too them. I honestly don't know how it got passed.

It was running 5 cylinders but i managed to fix it myself. It was running so well i forget how much performance they had as i hadn't driven one in so many years. I drove it once for about 2 hours and handed the keys over to a mate as he needed a car. What a mistake. 2 days later he rear ended a ute with a tow ball which destroyed my new Greddy Intercooler, reo bar, air conditioner radiator, split the radiator and pulled in the headlights.

Yet again somehow i manage to fix it myself (took me ages) minus air conditioning parts last saturday. It was running perfectly. Then 24 hours later it got regency defected. I've owned the car about 4 years and has only been driven on the road for a total of about 11 months. I do believe i'm destined to never own a skyline.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
