Hey Guys,

Im currently looking at a R33 GTR and it was registered before 2000 and hence it has the Green Compliance plate.

The VIN and Engine number on the compliance plates match up with the RTA.

However my main concern is that there is no BLUE compliance plate on it. Im not sure why they removed it but the green compliance plate has now replaced the original blue plates.

This may be my 3rd import and its the first time i've seen this being done.

So if someone can shed some light in this situation, i'd be really happy.

Regards

does this car have a gold engine bay?

if it does and its a series 3 in KR4 silver - its the the car im thinking of.

it would be wise to stay the **** away.

Could you Pm me this also cos I'm curious (shopping for one now) why steer clear of this.

Cheers

the blue is the build plate isnt it? that shouldnt ever be removed... as per the 'new to skylines' thread stickied in this forum.

I know mines still got the blue build plate but also has a sticker in the passenger side door, when opened, in pink, saying its compliant. other than that i havent really paid all that much attention to other plates and such...so im not probably much help. But make sure every decision you make in buying a GTR is thought through. you dont wanna buy a lemon just cuz it was the prettiest one.

so out of courtesy, are you gona tell us if you went through with buying the car??

If this question is directed towards me, Well I'd like to know why stay away from this seeing I wouldn't want to waste my time looking at something dodgy.

kamikaze ninja, if your gtr is the one im thinking it is - damn nice dude, i was looking at it when it was forsale a few years ago! :P might still have some pics of it!

Bought the car from JapCars in Fawkner about a week ago. Under the impression it wasn't landed till maybe a couple months ago... but yeah. Lol i love the car...its amazing. just this one tiny niggly problem that ruins it for me =(

Getting it fixed by the boys at the dealership on Monday though, so should be fine.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
