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:

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
