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

    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested. 
    • This is aem disk setting in aem tuner and still 180 dgree off or ignition on exhaust cycle is it from cas it self as cas seems wouldn’t fit in cam shaft if wrong position and wiring been verified any ideas 
    • Oh yeah that would work excellent. Should be the same diff housing & everything. Shoot me a text or call me 260-750-2246 -Cody 
    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.
