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.

Same here, AWD FTW :)

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
