What have you heard?

It doesnt surprise me one little bit. there were too many nests being feathered by charging exhorbitant prices, it was only a matter of time before people realised that there was a quick buck to be made.

when you add up the cost of getting replacement stock parts and the labour to fit them, then compare the rediculous prices to get an emissions test done (its interesting that Tim Ireland has the final say here - and he says you need to fork out for a FULL $3500 ADR emissions test, before he will pass anything, and then only if he wants to). Engineers' reports cost more than 3 times what they do in other states, and once again, they can still knock it back.

No wonder, when you start paying such huge amounts of money to get a car legal, of course the opportunity is going to be too big to resist.

The shame of it all, is that they cant see that the processes in place, because they are almost impossible to comply with, create such situations.

Hey COPYME what you driving now? Question for anyone in the know.

SUBARU GX 2001 Auto with a B4 engine swap ( 2.5L Twin Turbo ) I know that brakes have to be upgraded what else needs to be done and after this does the motor have to be engineered etc Mate got defected and I think that the gates of hell have just opened on his car

My regency experience is crap as most of the others have been. My car got defected for an exhaust too loud. Got a stock system put back on to pass regency. Went in and got defected for anotehr 10 things. These included worn rear diff bushes, split brake lines, new calipers needed, twisted seatbelt, exhaust still too loud.

Went to kents engineering in adelaide and had it all inspected. Brake lines were perfect as were the rear diff bushings. These guys are pros and searched the brake lines for 30 mins and still couldnt find anything wrong with them yet regencuy insisted they were changed so i did. The twisted seatbelt is just a joke i think. took like 10 seconds to untwist it. A stock exhaust too loud on a NA r31??? so i had a second muffler fitted.

went back but this time my dad tok the car through. they didnt even put it on the hoists and it passed. he drove in grabbed the forms and drove out. It costed me a grand nearly after all the hassles and there was nothing wrong with my car.

also the girl who used to work at regency is on the pulsar forums udner regency_chick

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
