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

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.

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
