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'

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
