I think you will find there will be alot more to getting the defect off then just changing the bov and boost controller.

Your in for a full inspection so dont expect to get it through on the first try,

just to give you an idea. The 400r front bar you have the indicators are to close together and they could fail you for that (happened to my old R33).

or you could just sell it to me for 2 grand and ill have a cheap track car :ninja:

I will offer you 2.5K :ninja:

I went through regency last week and they aren't that bad. Just show them a bit of respect and don't assume they know nothing (because they do - I watched very closely what they inspected on my car) and you should be alright. Don't feel too bad if you have to go back a second time, I did, but was only $150 parts and labour to fix up.

well they give you a checklist of what needs to be improved/returned to stock etc for the second time around. so for the second check just the things on the list sorted out and you will be laughing

I will offer you 2.5K :ninja:

Damn, by the time its of defect Im thinkn im gonna have to spend 800-1000 to get it on the road so no deal buddy, ill find out tomorrow morn from my mechanic he knows what hes doinhe goes to regency regularly for defected cars and interstate ring-ins so he reckns shell be fine

:cheers:

Took the old girl down to my trusty mechanic today, had a good look over and he reckons shes in excellent nick he couldnt spot anything wrong underneath or in the engine bay besides blow off valve and boost controller, also boost gauge in dash isnt connected, looking at about 500-800 bucks, also he said part of the front spoiler is cut out to make room for intercooler, but hes got a stockie to get her past, still havent decided if I wanna sell it, will make decision once I drive it for a bit. goin on holiday so ill be pickn her up on the 9th Feb garunteed passed and ready for rego!!

:banana:

Front mount intercooler has to go (not a stock item ) , exhaust not stock so that goes aswell .

Bars are torsion bars to stop the body from twisting .

completely incorrect.

front mount intercooler on mine passed no problems. exhaust on my car was a full 3.5" trust exhaust system with a minor adjustment it passed with 89db at 3200 rpm as for the bar's don't know much about them but by what i have gone through you should be ok :D

Pretty much any intercooler is bigger than the stock side-mount - if you have a front-mount, that's a 'bigger intercooler' (and you can see the front-mount in the pics). A bigger fuel pump doesn't mean much either, lots of them have died from sheer age - so have usually been fitted with larger aftermarket items. Keep in mind that - in general - modifications do not increase the value of a car.

I personally wouldn't have thought the car worth that much, especially in that condition - but hey, a car is only worth what someone will pay for it. Imports have plumetted in value in the last few years ..

It looks pretty f**king clean to me?! Just engine bay needs a spray and it's cleaner then most other skylines I've seen.

Yeah I agree. Plenty of POS 33's getting around - doesn't really look like one.

+1 for front mounts being fine, just took mine through with one.

10-12k easy dont listen the the sharks out there

keep it, enjoy it, track it

it cost you peanuts so why not modify the ECU to remove the 180kph speed cut and put it on track

you already have other cars, you say know know a lot about push rod engine, now learn about OHC engines with electric everything

and as for rotors go >>Here<<

have fun and welcome to the forums

Thanks guys, shes of defect now and regod cost me around 1500 all up , had some bits n pieces to replace. I hate to say it but I really like the car, didnt think I would but I do, first turbo car ive owned now I have to decide weather to keep it and sell my other cars ( i have a few) or sell it and keep them Its actually gonna be a hard decision, what sort of prices ar gearboxes and clutches for mine? is it an RB25 motor? I dont know any thing bout these things

Edited by rickr333

depends on the sort of clutch your actually want to put in it

i get great prices on clutches through a relation ship i have built up with NPC http://www.npcperformance.com.au/

organic are reasonably cheap not 100% sure of price i have only sold one and the bad boy of clutches a 5puk HD ceramic 1200kg pressure plate $580 delivered that will hold 350rwkw you can get heavier again and increase the diameter of the pressure plate too will change the clutch characteristics

Ist it RB25? and whats a gearbox worth for one and also prices on getting one rebuilt, sorry if I shouldnt be posting this stuff here Im not really sure

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
