I have a 15 y.o. r32 gts-t arriving in september - i have a few questions:

1) can anybody recommend compliancing workshop(s) in S.A.?

2) has anybody done their own compliance work in SA? (apart from intrusion bars)

3) my car has an air pod and a bov - when the compliance work is done and i go through regency will i get knocked back?

Cheers, thanks for your time

Just passed my 15yr old 180 through regency a couple weeks ago, luckily the car came in fairly stock except wheels, exhaust (was quiet enough), coilovers and a couple other little bits. took all of them off (except exhaust) and put stock bits on (borrowed) just in case. Rory Thompson Services (ph. 8252 9506) did my intrusion bars and unleaded fuel filler neck insert, he took 3 days and was much cheaper than anyone else. We installed retractable rear seatbelts ourselves and child restraint bolsters, in teh end it all wasnt too difficult, just spare yourself a week or so to get it all sorted (depending on how available you are). Its obviously an 89 model your bringing in so you have to remeber to get the new vin no. that regency specify stamped onto the chassis (put mine on right strut tower) also...

remember to check your chassis rails for damage

fix ANY leaks in teh engine bay

clean the underbody just so it looks nicer for the inspector

fix any rust

take out the sun-visors (regency prefer none over the jap ones)

drivers side mirror (change from convex to flat)

dont let someone charge you 300 to install retractable rear seat belts... do it yourself for 50 or so (pick up some 2nd hand ones off another r32 and install em urself)

make sure ALL of your lights work, and your heater and defogger vents up front work.

check your brakes

ummm... i think thats about it, oh and any aftermarket steering wheel or gearknob change for stock, and yes they will ping you on your BOV, the pod maaybe ok, depending on how secure it is, if u can get a hold of the stock airbox, chuck it on.

if u have any other query's, PM me or post here.

Hope this helps

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
