cost will all depend on what mods are on the car coz compliancecost will vary from state to state and also how much work has to be done to bring the car back to factory stock condition for compliance

as a guide my 93 r32 gtr cost me around 27 k to get into mydriveway licensed in WA andmy car had to have stock exhaust wheels and suspension put on it and boost controller and timer removed for compliance mine was a grade 4 as well

According to the sheet it's April 92, which makes it ineligible. The interior is marked a a C which suggests it might be a little rough inside - don't take auction grade 4 to mean it's really clean either, it seems auction houses are dishing grade 4s out to anything these days.

Your car would have been imported under the 'old' scheme, which has now been superceded by SEVS. Under SEVS, JDM R32 GTR's are inelgible for import in the years that Nissan imported the model officially to Oz (ie 91 and perhaps 92, altough I thought they were only brought in by Nissan in 91).

It was the same under the old system too. Cars after 6/92 were eligible, so godzl you'll find your build date is after June. They weren't eligible between 6/91 and 6/92 when the GT-R was officially sold here.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
