you cant get a real 33 GTR for 14k for that it will have to be a 32 that's probably ~20 years old and needs lots of parts replaced.

If you do your homework you'll find a well maintained GTR for a good price. They're more reliable than people give them credit for I reckon. I've seen R33 GTRs for $18k at dealers! Mind you it was a short term thing to get rid of stock and they all sold but there are bargains out there if you can stretch it a little.

Good luck either way, the GTST looks quite nice. :(

From what i remember, the QLD mod plate is basically their version of a compliance plate. But if the mod plate says a certain size wheel on it and it happens to be the wheels on the car, I do believe it means the car was complied with them on it. Dont listen to anyone who says the modplate means nothing, without it you car CANT be registered as technically it hasnt been complied.

Also if the car is registered, you dont have to take it over the pits, as i do believe you dont have to get an ID check done as it is older then 15 years. But personally I would get a engineers cert as either you will have to get one if u get defected later down the track or get one now. It would probably be cheaper to remove all the mods in the car just to clear the defect or register it. You also get peice of mind aswell when driving into a road side vehicle checking station.

the mod plate isn't the compliance plate, it's like an engineer's cert. constantly stamped to your car under the bonnet from what i've gathered. Having said that, Dickson told me it's more or less meaningless to them, I'd more than likely need an engineers cert anyway. So I'm gonna end up taking it to Ray once I get it anyway, like you said, it will be worth it down the road when I hit a random inspection.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
