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:

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
