hey everyone.

in the near future im looking at heading to regency for my roadworthy compliance for my 32gtst...

ive got all the instructions and stuff and im gonna need a few bits to get it thru.

when i got the car it came with a pod filter, fmic and body kit.

naturally the front intrusion bar has been eaten by an angle grinder to make airflow for the fmic, and this obviously isnt going to pass so ill need one of them,

as well as the front bar itself,

airbox,

stock intercooler and some piping,

steering wheel,

can anyone recommend good places to source these bits?? id like to borrow what i can if i can coz this will obviously save me alot of money... any suggestions would be great, even if u reckon i could get away with the fmic or pod would be great news!

thanks.

yeah i already spoke to some guy there and he said it was ok..

EXCEPT - (this is where the fun begins)

ive got a bit of paper here, which was sent to me from RTA talking about it all

GENERAL CONDITIONS:

That on post 1974 vehicles, the engine must remain standard and retain its original induction system.

That the engine MUST retain the original equipment induction system; ie, carburettor, inlet manifold, camshaft, air cleaner, ECU and fuel injection system.

That all emission control equipment and associated plumbing originally fitted must be retained and operational

The fitting of turbo timers, non OEM blow off valves and mechanisms to vary turbocharger boost pressure are not acceptable

so from what i can understand is that to comply the car - you gotta have it like this (plus other conditions that i havent listed but have here on this bit of paper) but if you get defected you can have some of the stuff as aftermarket so long as it doesnt break other rules, like you mentioned it has to be secured etc.

It depends which a$$hole you get at Regency as to whether you pass or not.

Take your dad with you when you go, and see if they go easier on you.

It is pure pot luck, and the rules change depending on whom you ask.

Good luck!

i was thinking about getting my dad to take it in for me..

surely its gotta do something to help my chances..

lets see, 19yo P plater vs 56yo gentleman... lets see what we can do for you sir..

'shes all good mate, just get *something* sorted out as soon as you can'

vs

'you have to change this, this this, this is broken, this is worn, replace this, spend money on that'

    • 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.     
    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
