Ill leave the timer on the car and ask the guys at the compliance centre to take it off and put it aside for me same goes for the stereo if theres a prob there.

The stuff might as well stay in the car untill compliance and then ill ask em to keep the parts and put them in the boot or back seat.

oh, so somebody is buying these cars :) nice..

yer, there has to be evidence that the item has been destroyed, i don't think its as simple as just taking it off. How they know the item is there in the first place (???) is probably the most import aspect.

Is each car inspected for extra parts by some Government authority before it goes to compliance? Like once it comes off the ship?

I'm scarred :) and will have to wait till late September to drive it :uhh:  

Heres hoping it comes inside my $20k budget:freak:

which RAWS workshop has agreed to do the compliancing for you?

Has the R33 passed RAWS certification yet? (ie: emmisions and side impact etc).

How much is the worshop going to charge?

the new RAWS system might have a loop hole or two but, given most workshops have forked out heaps of $$$ I doubt they would try and test them for 'one off' sales.

Make sure the RAWS workshop is all 'ok' about compliancing the car you pick and get the price set in stone from them because it's nothing like the old system.

My mates family has a RAWS certified workshop and there are very few cars approved under the new system.. For instance the 'stagea' is almost done but still is waiting on emmisions and side impact. Till then no one can sell a stagea till it is nationally certified. Every car over the 15yr mark has to be independantly re-assed even though they are listed.

I noticed the R33 is done tho'.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
