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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
