The only way to be certain it has/hasnt got Xenons is to take the front bar off so you can get the headlights out to look at the fittings; so I dunno if regency would have gone to that effort. I assume itd be possible to get a higher lumen rated D2R bulb but I've never looked into it. I do find my Xenons a lot brighter than the halogens compliance put in though!

Here's hoping they are in there then. :thumbsup: Might check a bit closer tomorrow.

Sorry to bring this back up; but it is coming to the business end of the compliance. Car arrives at port tomorrow. Basically im asking again, does anyone have spare M35 headlights or a halogen kit? I need one of the two in order for the dream boats not to butcher the shit out of my headlights. I have asked him i want everything that is removed handed back to me without being ill-repairable. His response was, " No, as it's strict guidlines we must butcher it in order to show compliance"- What a load of bullocks! If it was a neat job it could be repaired with a quick soldering job surely.

So If anyone read the above, and can help, please PM me!

Can you not have it complied elsewhere?

If it was through an agent (Iron Chef etc), surely they could send it to another compliance shop?

Yeah, Thats a fair point. Apparently it's not the compliance that is the problem, it the pits for when it gets checked in order for it to get regoed. (WA) Even suggested using my own guy to do the pits to which he is saying no. :S Wouldn't recommend (insert workshop/importerhere) to anyone. No idea of customer service.

WTF? Are you not allowed FACTORY HID's in Aus?

Aftermarket HID kits here are illegal, due to the fact most of tthem are for LHD cars so distract oncoming traffic... But if you drive towards a car with factory, adjusted properly HID's, they don't phase you at all...

It's the lack of auto levelling that causes issues with the law

thats not entirely true, technically its the law and he is abiding by it.

exactly. whats a RAWS licenceworkshop/equipment worth nowadays ($100k+) and all the inspector has to do is pick your car which you want done wrong/illegally.

not worth it to the RAW.

You can get factory HIDs; look at the Holden Caprice and some saabs. They just have to be self levelling and have headlight washers fitted.

wrong, the headlight unit itself has the beam modifications for LHD and RHD, not the burner/globe.

an H1 is an H1 no matter what side of the road you drive on

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
