Hey guys, just putting something out there to see if anyone has not been able to get their car off defect themselves and has ended up getting somewhere to help them like Nisswreck for example. Would really like to know how people went if they have had to use someone for help in this area. I would generally think that if a place helped you with this then you'd be through Regency basically first go, wouldn't you? Cos they should have all the bases covered yes? Your feedback would be much appreciated, cheers.

Sinergy motorsport also do defect removal. Although don't be bummed out if you dont pass first go. Personally i'd go for an inspection just to find out everything that needs repair/replacement.

I got my 32 through regency about 2 weeks ago and did all the work myself. Went to regency first to see what needed to be done and then did it all myself. Subframe bushes, centre tail shaft bearing, rear tie rods, front right tie rod ends and a fark load more done for much much cheeper than i could get anyone else to do it. then got a mechanic to look over it before i took it and got through in about 5 min. So if you are pretty mechanically minded and have decent tools, jacks, car ramps etc you can do most of whatever needs to be done yourself for much cheeper.

Vince at Import Compliance Systems can turn your car back to stock and pass it for you and then return it back.

He got my GTR through which needed lots of stock parts.

Any idea on how much that would cost?

$175 to put it through for initial inspection...i know i just did it :D

Ill be doing all the defect removal and replacements myself as i cant afford $2k from Import compliance systems and synergy just to put it back to stock (that's just to get it through and then put all my gear back on). Cheaper for me to buy all the stock parts.

Well I know I'll need a stock exhaust & then I got quoted from Sinergy to change my HID's to normal globes for 220 but that's not changing 'em back either :P Got a couple of mates willing to help spin a few spanners with me so far, guess I should get that inspection so I'll know exactly what needs to be done. Would be interesting to get Reuben to help considering I'm Reuben too, kinda been waiting to meet him, don't know too many Reuben's. I know now that I'll have to wait now anyway cos I won't be able to get it cleared before the car show this weekend which was the general idea anyway cos my car is going to be in it. Appreciate everyone's help.

Yeah, Sinergy charged me $50 to put water in my washer bottle and $80 to remove tint on my front two windows. Have it all on paper I think unless I gave it away with my car.

Can do it all yourself and save yourself heaps.

You can convert your own for a coupla hours time, and about $50 in parts - if you're handy. This way also leaves the option to convert them back easily.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
