  1. G'day guys, Apologies for reviving an old thread. Just wanted to say, we managed to register the car! Passed the RWC with a few minor adjustments. Airbox, horn, front wheel guards and a few little leaks here and there. Luckily, he didnt get me for the FMIC! The horn was probably the biggest issue as clocksprings for these cars are rather hard to find actually working... So I had to do a bit of a dodgy repair on mine to get it working. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped out! Thanks, Lucas
  2. Hi Duncan, once again apologies for the late reply, but really appreciate your response! it honestly gave me the confidence to tackle this issue myself and I can confidently say i learnt A LOT from it! Luckily for me, the wires were pretty easy to follow, and all it took was snipping off and the shitty connections and re-soldering the factory wires. The last post from myself was before leaving for Europe as almost a cry for help. lol. But happy to say that the immobiliser was successfully removed and the wires returned to (mostly) factory! Oh the car starts and drives fine now too (sorta)... I honestly have no clue how the wiring underneath there got so bad. A rat's nest would be an understatement lol!! Ill add the photo's for you to enjoy XD Re: the curresnt issues im having with the car, should probably be for a separate thread. Although, I have managed to a few threads already with people having the same issues. So it'll definitely be a last resort thing! Really appreciate everyones help!
  3. Hey Guys, really appreciate all your comments and heads up! Sorry i havent gotten back to you all sooner. Ive agreed with one of my mates to split the payment for a stock fmic, since we both will be needing one to get our cars registered. In terms of making it look "stock", Ive also ordered an intake box for the pod filter.By the looks of it, thankfully, this car has been kept relatively stock. Unfortunately, since posting this topic I've run into a few issues. The "bigger" (ebay) turbo siezed on the drive home from my mechanic after getting a list of things to fix. So, that has since been replaced with a standard gtst turbo and confirmed working As I was waiting for a new turbo, i decided to test comp. it came back with some not so pleasing results... readings from cylinder 1-6 are as follows, 100, 95, 98, 90, 100, 98 😐 granted this may be due to the fact that the engine was cold and no oil was put into the cylinders. Either way seems like a pretty tired engine and looks like it may be due for a rebuild 🙁 Here comes the fun part tho. Found out my horn wasnt working and tl:dr now my car wont crank 😆. We concluded that the horn may not be working due to the a dodgy install of an aftermarket alarm system and immobilizer. Which, now has some how tripped and isnt unlocking with the key. went to have a look underneath the steering wheel and was greeted with a giant rat nest. ive started following all the cables and disconnected the immobilizer, however im just worried. Have I messed up by removing the immobilizer before unlocking it? If anyone could please let me know what the correct process is, as im slightly overwhelmed by this whole situation. Sorry for the overly long message...
  4. Hey Guys, Slightly overwhelmed by the amount of different forums on this page, so decided to post my queries on here, apologies in advanced if this isnt the right place to do it... so this is my situation... TL:DR After around three years of saving, I took the plunge and bought myself an '94 R33 GTST. I Committed a cardinal sin and bought a car at night without checking it out during the day 🥲. Granted, i did go on Vic roads and pay the two dollars to check the vin and it seems to be all checked out. Can someone let me know, from that can i be 100% certain that it hasn't been in an accident and can be registered? upgraded intercooler, upgraded turbo and from what I can see looks like a dump pipe from the turbo into the exhaust? will these things pass road worthy, and if not how should i go about it? I feel like i could ask a million questions, but obviously i could do my own research to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Lucas
