The original Nissan build plate is blue (most cars have these on them still, some have them removed).

The green plate is the old compliancing scheme (pre 2005 I think?)

The purpley-pink sticker or plate is the new SEVS compliancing scheme.

Recently bought a 2nd hand R32 GTR registerred in Victoria. Checked out RTA website and it all looks correct.

There is NO compliance plate.

VIN is engraved on strut tower (drivers side)

Will i have issues with the ID check? What do they expect you to do if the VIN is engraved?

Some more feedback from other peoples experiences would be good

Cheers

1989 Model?

Mine, my old 32GTR & a mates 89 R32 GTRs have no purple / green compliance plates.

All came in under 15 year rule (loop hole closed). I passed pits no worries cause the jap vin is on the system and it had been registered before.

Just grab the Jap vin, call REVS.

My car is listed as a 92 model (VicRoads)

I did do a little more reading of the forum last night and found a purple/pink sticker on the passenger door jam, so things are starting to look OK

Need to get the car on a hoist and assess how much aftermarket gear i will have to revert to stock. The car looks fairly stock to me, exept for exhaust, BOV (very annoying), turbo timer, etc.

Do ppl have any issues with oil catch systems?

Anyway, Back on topic. My car appears to have a Pink/Purple sticker, however..

I read somewhere ppl having issue with an engraved VIN, rather than stamped? Can anyone shed some light?

purple sticker means its complied and ready for rego. take it to your local registrar and pay them. job done. it was the steel plated VIN tags that vicroads went nuts on. if it was stamped into the body then there usually was not a probelm.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
