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.

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
