I just got defected today driving my uncomplied unregisted r32 gtr from the mechanics back to my house on a permit.

I had no front bar because it was at the crash repairs getting some cracks fixed, and whilst i was driving it home my front right indicator fell off unknowingly.

the officer deamed the car unroadworthy and defected me. the car will be getting complied sometime in the near future maybe 3-6 months.

will this defect have to be removed (rectified) before i go to get complied or when its getting complied or after? or is it just nothing to worry about?

Thanks.

There is a dedicated defect thread in this forum for questions like these. Otherwise we'll have hundreds of defect threads from various posters.

Expect this thread to be locked and/or removed.

You'll find your answer in the defect thread.

I wouldn't worry too much - I know this isnt the exact same situation but me and a mate of mine both took our R32's through Regency around the same time for a RB25DET conversion, his was defected, mine was not. I don't believe there was any difference at all in how the cars were checked and the owners treated.

Get the defect notice signed off once you go through so you can hand it into the rego office to get rego for your car.

You might have to pay more for it though as it's meant to be a different type of inspection to your ID one to gain rego.

Easy done though.

I would have laughed at the cop, as the car is uncomplied it is, and always was not compliant with ADR's and therefore is defectable. But as the car has to be complied you are in effect clearing the defect when you get it complied, just rip the sticker off, it means nothing in this case.

Rip the sticker off if you never plan on regoing the car but leave it on if you do plan on getting rego.

They would have defected the vin number of the car so he would need to get it cleared off the system so he would need to get his defect paper work sorted at the same time and removing the sticker wouldn't be a good idea haha.

as the car hasn't been complied, there is no VIN in the system. The VIN the car will end up with will be an 1MPORT xxx xxxx VIN which the car hasn't got yet.

Anyhow there is no harm in leaving the sticker on but i still would have laughed at the copper.

Those VIN numbers were issued with tho old Import scheme, It will be given a VIN, 6U90 - then your chassis no, more Zeros added to to take it up to 17 digits if required.

so if my vin/chassis numbers are in the system with a defect to there name, when they add onto the numbers for compliance it wont show that it has a defect on it when i go to get rego?

Thanks.

Im pretty sure when you take the car in for inspection, it wont be "on the system" yet as a car on the road. Doing the roadworthy to get rego is clearing it at the same time also, so once inspected, they would then add you and at the same time it would be cleared of any defect.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
