Ok guys, I know this has been asked one billion times before but I'm gonna ask again cos this time for me it's a bit different...

I'm looking at a car in Perth, it HAS been complied however is not registered nor has it ever been in Australia. If I buy it and get it down here, will I only need to go for a vehicle inspection down at a police station for them to allow me to register it (obviously I'll need to get temporary rego to drive it down there) or do I need to pass it over the pits again? I rang Regency just then and they said that as long as it has it's compliance plates it will only need a police check but that seems too easy to me.

Also, if I do go down this path, I need to get my hands on a standard GTR bonnet (in white preferably) as it has a carbon fiber one on it that I don't think the police would take too kindly to. Anyone able to help out there?

Ah so it won't be a full over the pits inspection then? Like I said, the only MAJOR stand out thing is the bonnet and possibly the ride height, however the aftermarket suspension IS height adjustable. AFAIK, 18' rims are allowable on a GTR correct?

yeah 18's are allowed.

If the car has compliance they should only check the

Engine NO

Vin NO

Build date

window tinting (they will make you peel it off if its to dark)

exhaust (rarely)

it a quick and easy check just to make sure the car or the engine isn't stolen

Yeah what whiplash said is correct.

Had mine in the sturt shed about a week ago for the same deal.

As long as there's no stand outs like dark tint, wheels sticking out of guards or guards sitting on tyres, you should be fine.....if it's loud don't rev it, just idle it into the shed.

Do what I did.....wait for 40 degree day and show up 15 minutes before knock off......Sturt shed is open till 3.00pm Wed & Thur with no appointment needed.

Wow, this is good news. So after I take it to the police, I assume they give me some paperwork that I take to motor reg that allows me to register the vehicle here in SA? Correct?

do you have any pics of the car your looking at??

The pillar guage and boost controller(??) will raise their interest straight away, you'll want to be rid of them for the inspection. I would think see if you can get a stock seat and bonnet. With those things changed over HOPEFULLY they wont send you for full inspection.

Obviously I'd change over the bonnet, EBC and pillar gauge to standard, hence why I asked here if anyone had a standard bonnet, suspension is also height adjustable so that isn't an issue. Also not a fan of the front bar either but that's easy enough to source another. Just everything else about the car I love and I really would like to get my hands on it. Just wish I could get a straight answer from Regency about it. They said it SHOULD be ok just a visual ID, but can't guarantee it. Idiots

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
