Hi folks, I registered here a while back and have had a good long read at some of the topics posted.Im moving from sunny Scotland to South Australia ( around Adelaide area ) next year.Now i want to bring my car with me from Scotland (R33 GTR, 1995 car ) and have some shipping prices already.

What i need to know is what do i need to do when i get the car over there and the typical costs involved.Have a look through my previous posts to see the car will bea full stage 2 car running aprox 500bhp in the next few months.Do i need to change anything over on the car to pass any import tests etc...

All help would be appreciated on this matter as i really want to bring my car over due to the work and time i have spent on it...

pics and more info please ol scottie. :)

The car is a 1995 R33 (12 years old ) GTR v-spec.The engine will have R34 N1 turbos and all supporting mods like, fuelling upgrades,ignition upgrades,power FC, boost upgrades--basically everything to run 500bhp.Just about everything else has upgrade parts--brakes, wheels, coilover suspension ( not set to low ), exhaust, interior, sound system, engine fully polished etc....

I have owned the car for 3 years in that time winning many show awards...Its basically i very very nice clean GTR.

I have posted pics before and on other forums but here are some to give you an idea of what the car is like..

Very nice car you have there... and nice pics too. I look forward to seeing it at one of our SA cruises.

Basically it will be a bit of a pain in the arse to get thru our notorious Regency Park inspection depot. Lots of things will need to be removed before they register it here, however you will get away with some gear too.

Power FC, boost controls, turbo timers, coil overs and loud exhaust will not be passed.

Unfortunately he's right...

You will have some trouble getting it registered. The closer your car is to stock, the easer it is to pass "Regency". So you need lots of stock parts and hopefully you can do much of it your self.

Also, maybe post this in the South Australia section of the forum ? Better suited i think.

PS: Awsome ride and cya in SA :3some:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
