measure them, unless they are 296 x 32mm then they aren't GTR. R33 GTS-t's are the same diameter but 30mm. The regency inspectors will know the difference.

Oh and by the way the quote for the engineers report mentioned in that statement was $2500

Whats the go with buying an interstate vehicle and registering it in SA these days - Vin/Engine number check and a quick look for visible defects or a complete full top down inspection as if it was a defect?

wow - a massive eucalypt branch came down a metre away from me.

about to pop the bonnet, instead sat in the car while the tonne branch came down on top of the bonnet

argh - dent on drivers side front guard, however the fake carbon stripe took it pretty well, only cple scratches

but grrrr dent. double grrr. nice 'n deep

:D

wait a minute, why did he sell for $6500 when the conversion just cost him $11000?

wife said, with 11month old in tow, 'that car must go'

he obeyed. I bought. my missus is still angry. she clapped the tree :D

If she makes you sell it I may be interested in buying it :D

yeah its a top car; will keep that in mind.

damned tree tho. seriously, how unlucky is that. massive branch.....

i know of someone that did a neo conversion into a 32 GTST and they made them put neo brakes on the car.

Don't be surprised if you have to do a brake upgrade to have it road registered.

just ask for a statement of requirements and that will list everything needed.

You will need GTR brakes as a minimum.

Yep, I just got this letter for my RB25>R32

It has 17 conditions on it, but the main ones are it has to be stock, have 296x30 front brakes and have an emmissions test.

AWD can be fun but RWD is where it's at!

I can run my car in both and 4WD is a f*kton better than RWD. RWD = wheel spin/limiter bashing at full boost in 1st & 2nd which = slow and gay, 4WD = over 300kw of traction and that throws you back in the seat like a mofo :) No way in hell i would ever trade mine for a 300kw GTST.

Should just need a brake upgrade and emisions test to pass regency, no engineers needed! I know cos i have actually had my car passed through regency with a 26 conversion.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
