Buying Interstate

[Adz2332]

Hey,

Trying to find a R33 GTR to buy but cant find one in sa that apeals to me... but in queensland there is one that looks like what im after, even down to the colour and price (shit body kit on it tho!! lol)... Its just what has to be done to get rego on it here in SA? does it have to go through a full regency inspection?

The mods are

Garrett 400HP Turbo GT2860R x 2.

Sard 650CC injectors,

high volume Nismo Fuel Pump,

CES Ceramic coated dump pipes and secondary exhaust

80mm system with high flow CAT

Apexi Power FC with Hand Controller,

NI Water Pump.

Tomei Poncams Type "B" and Tomei adjustable timing gears

clear timing gear cover,

GFB Bleed Valve,

Tein Super Street fully adjustable suspension with EDC controller for on the move electronic adjustment.

So the defectable things would be the turbos, Apexi power fc, tein suspension... that all?

Id have top change that to get redgo?

Have bought a few cars including my GTR interstate.... you must take it for an identity check only. (check vin/engine no to see if stolen)

Go to sturt inspection depot... will be easier than regency.

However if they see any obvious major defect they will send you to regency for full inspection.

that bleed valve is defectable too

so i dont even need to take it to regency?

when you say major defects, on that list is that just suspension and if i disconnect the power fc handcontrol that would be ok?

apart from that?

that bleed valve is defectable too

thats instead of a boost controller?

thatll have to be removed i guess

Going to the sturt shop is the same as going through the engine check section at regency. All the do is check the vehicle complies with the import thingo (plate) and the engine numbers match etc.

If u do get defected (when i should say) u will need to take off the AM parts anyway-

Garrett 400HP Turbo GT2860R x 2. - come off

Sard 650CC injectors, - come off

high volume Nismo Fuel Pump, -ok (IF its internally mounted)

CES Ceramic coated dump pipes and secondary exhaust - ok

80mm system with high flow CAT - ok (providing its less than the required Db)

Apexi Power FC with Hand Controller, - out (der)

NI Water Pump.- ok

Tomei Poncams Type "B" and Tomei adjustable timing gears - ok (as long as the cam gears are covered)

clear timing gear cover, -covers the last point ie get rid of it if u dont want an instant defect regardless...

GFB Bleed Valve, - off (its altering boost)

Tein Super Street fully adjustable suspension with EDC controller for on the move electronic adjustment. - off

Basically they frown on anything that isnt std. So if yer buying the car fer all the bits, and end up taking them off later, is it worth the extra?

They can be engineered, but it will cost, and once again regency can say no they dont like it anyway (law unto themselves) and dont have to comply with any engineers report.

OK thanks for that.....

But what would be needed to be removed for the very first check to get redgo here?

[Bl4cK32]

anything that is an obvious defect...Nothing that would make them considering calling u back

Probably just keep the sus jacked up, swap the clear cover, and try hide the turbos under some heat shield and u should be in and out.

CORRECT..........and the things that stand out the most are black windows, too loud and too low.....other than that make sure your pods are secured because they sometimes shake them.

my dear Adam

why dont u try to get a stock 33 GTR

at least u know it hasn't been thrashed

go through Regency, then mod what u want... the right way

IMO

[Deluxe]

A stock 33 GTR can still be thrashed, not serviced regularly and so on just like a slightly or highly modded car..............

When looking for "a" car make sure it has recipts for everything done and isn't a drift car and you should be fine!!

[gtrkiet]

or buy mine ^_^

IMO

honestly for 2 reasons.

1 stock can still be thrashed!

2 cheaper to buy one with things done to it already then out lay yourself and its easier to do it that way

[typevu]

Buy gtrkiet's R33 GTR... it flutters as sick as an SR and you know its powerful coz his done 260km/h in it (and got done for it)
