yea well i dont really see me getting enough money for it to warrent selling it, so might as well keep it, concerntrating mainly on handling first and keeping more of a responsive/torquey setup instead of the rubber band sling shot power curve i had previous. Awesome for the thrill, but no good for hills or track for obvious reasons.......long story short...if no one buys it....yes! hehe

spent to much on buy price 5 years ago so might as well keep going

though when i do get to drive it, it is fun just over the last 15 months its seem more driveway than freeway

i tell you what as well the driving nature of SA has changed so much what we used to do in the old days cant be done now

been through regency 8 times since ive owned mine... never had child restraints in, never been picked on for it...

last time it was in primer, with stencils sprayed over it in matte black, pop rivets in rear guards to seal holes left over from widebody, 50mm flares over the flared rear arches, interior half stripped, 3.5" straight through with a 1" pea shooter pipe and muffler rudely bolted on at the end, shit hidden everywhere and got picked on for locked diff and a couple lights not working.

was so hillarious they got 4 guys to look at it at the same time and spent a whole hour on it. went through the next day with diff changed, no lights fixed... and passed.

win.

people get shit scared of regency for no reason...

I've been through (for defects) 15 times in 3 different cars.

It's really hard to say what they will and wont get you for as everytime it's been different. Very inconsistant with what they check and don't check or in some cases, can even find.

But SkyHi_33 is right, there's no reason to be scared. It's pretty easy to pass.

never been thru in 5 yrs of owning my car hopefully the next 5yrs will be as good . only ever had probs with regency when i built my ac cobra replica they wanted me to hook up a charcoal canister to a straight LPG powered car.took 5 months to convince them it couldn't be done .

lol so they made me apply for a exemption . made me run a air pump of a late model mustang just lots of stupid crap like that and this is after the engineer signed the car off lol .

lol im not scared...

I've put 3 trucks through regency now..they know me by name.....the skyline is a walk in the park as opposed to getting a truck through....was very much a head fuuk to say the least. Not to mention it was about 20k-30k for one truck...The skyline is just a couple of hundred bucks. :)

Lee, So sorry mate i've been soo flat out with work you wouldn't believe. Will be in touch.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
