Hi, I've changed two cars over from different states and you don't need a check at all. As long as the car is being registered in the same name as in the previous state you just go into the office and show them id and your previous rego slip. Hand over the old plates and they'll give you new ones.

Cheers,

Matt

He is putting the car in his name though so at the very least you will have to go to sturt, just depends who you get on the day as to wether it will pass or not. If you havnt already purchased one we have them in stock for $99.

so hopefully u changed the name on the interstate rego to ur name, then there will be no hassles :D

my car ended in inspection cos it was registered in the interstate owners name, and the person that i got it from never put it in their name (previous SA owner)... i made sure that they cleared it all with regency b4 i bought it and only had to empty my wallet for the rego/stamp duty/interstate transfer fee/new plates.

You sell hicas lockbars? Want one for my car, stupid hicas light flashs on when i turn a bend at speed then goes off once i straighten up, gets annoying.

Sorry bit off topic but one quick question, does the hicas have anything to do with the power steering? Hicas light comes on and i lose power steering, Fill up the power steering well and the light goes off and i get power steering back..?

Hicas provides active feedback to the steering wheel... think Force Feedback on an arcade game...you know there are no kinetic forces but the actuators are giving you more of a feel... faster u go, the stiffer the steering gets, which is ideal... one of the worst things about power steering is the overresponsiveness (is that a word?) at high speed... hicas mitigates this to a degree thru the steering wheel (or Boss kit if u get an aftermarket system).... theres another forum thread which goes thru the ins and outs of hicas... basically it helps when you're an inexperienced race driver or an everyday driver... if you do any serious track work, chances are your skills will be higher than required for hicas, however that said, hicas can cause a very steep, very quick corner exit if you have the skills for it, as even a small amount of rear wheel toe in has a significant effect on cornering (Apparently, Dont look at me for details, im a noob)...

No doubt it un-nerves anyone whos not used to it, but once u get used to it you'll wonder how you lived without it... as mentioned before, nissan have kept hicas since the r31, so I really doubt theres any convincing reason to get a lock bar, aside from finances, or superultramegahardcore racing

I have hicas problems at the moment myself. im hoping when i get time to calibrate the system It'll come good, otherwise I'd rather spend the money to get the hicas fixed good and proper. Lock bars are for the hardcore, and i'm not hardcore.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
