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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
