Hi all,

I am thinking of buying a R32 GTR in the next few months from Perth. How tough is ACT rego? The car isn't a monster, stock turbos, big bore exhaust (not very loud), recaros and some N1 body bits. Anything I should ask the seller that I need to know in advance?

Cheers

MG

well im going through it at the moment for my Chaser and i have been told that my rear wheels are 10mm to far appart so i have to find some different wheels. you can pretty much get almost anything engineered like coilovers etc. if you go about it the right way and dont try and dodgy things it makes it much easier

for example: my car has coilovers and an exhaust. exhaust was too loud, there is a shop in belconnen that will take the end of the exhaust off and put in a little pee shooter which makes no noise what so ever. coilovers are a little more fidly, you will need to get an engineers certificate.

the closer you can get you car to stock the easier it will be

it may be hard to get past but i dont think one person on here wouldnt do it again.. i would be so worth it.. i should imagine

yeah, they wouldn't let me thru because the rolling diameter of the tyres that came with the car were 1cm too big. clearly though, my life was in peril and had they not found this out it could have resulted in a life threatening accident.

Sounds like an easy pass from what you have written. It does not need to go over the main pits, just a local shop. Make it look stock, exhaust is a dead giveaway.

dont take it to dickson, i got a place in gungahlin to transfer my rego over from QLD no dramas at all except i had to to go to the tip to get a weight ticket that was 20 bucks or something apart from that it was a very easy process for me, all i had was a cat back (quite loud) and a air pod , stock wheels and everything.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
