Back in September '08 my 32 was stolen, i have just bought her replacement.

i don't think it's set in yet, but it probably won't until she's registered and I'm driving it.

Its a 1998 R34 gt-t

- 18" RAYS G-Games 99B wheels.... staggered fitment

- Slotted RDA rotors + EBC Red Stuff pads

- Trust Power Extreme 2 Exhaust

- Trust Intake Pod

- Blitz Dual SBC

- Low King Springs

- 3 point Alarm & immobiliser

The only thing is, it's not registered in Victoria so I'll have to make an appointment to get it registered.

At Vicroads they will check the vin/eng numbers etc. but they will also be checking to make sure its been complied correctly and meets ADR's.

I'm just thinking will it pass with ebc, king springs and factory xneons... exhaust, wheels and airbox will be replaced with standard items.

Nice car mate, congrats. If it is still registered (interstate) you just have to go to Vicroads, make a Miscellaneous registration appointment . Get yourself a rwc here in vic, go to Vicroads on the day and then pay for a full year reg and new number plates. My cuz just did this with an Evo he bought from NSW. They just checked the rwc and made sure vin and engine matched on their computer, gave him new vic plates and off he went. It cost him like $650

wats the go with xenon lights being a issue?

if they factory you should be fine shouldnt you?

im thinking of getting xenon ligths for my 32 GTR

They are factory items but removed upon compliance. I believe the ADRs state that xenon systems must be self levelling and feature headlight washer jets

Congratulations on the purchase mate :-)

lol mine has Xenons factory and passed :) they dont move or anything tho so *shrug* no washer jets either. Howevvver...boost controllers are still illegal and wont pass inspection...so either remove it or hide it really, really, really well....

its funny that most BMW's these days have really blue xenon bright as lighting but are fine

lamborghini's are so low that they barely touch the ground and yet still road legal....

harley davidsons make so much noise yet our car exhaust can be defected for noise pollution...

sometimes i wonder

Auto headlight level adjustment = legal

From factory then they have special permit to be less than 100mm clearance

Bikes get defected too - u just dont hear about em

Slightly off topic...

I don't think all "legal" cars such as BMW, merc etc.. have xenons that are auto level adjustment - from personal experience most of them seem off focus and actually blind you. *shrugs*

Having Xenons on wet nights = Fail. Especially with the yellow street lights reflecting off the ground - The xenon lights just don't seem to work as effective. Pitch black country roads xenons are the best. Strictly speaking from experience here.

Thankyou to all the well wishers... can't wait to pick it up.

As for the xenons, is it a simple matter of just swapping out the globes for halogen ones???? I thought it would be more tricky than that, if thats the case then i can just swap them myself

And with the blitz dsbc, if i just remove the control unit in the cabin and leave the rest(i.e. solenoids) hooked up, what will happen?? is that likely pass?

also i won't to make an appointment asap so is there any vicroads branch i should avoid and any i should favour?

thanks guys.

I had mine complianced with factory xenons, I guess it depends where you go to how strict they are.

Then when I took it to VicRoads, they didn't bother checking the lights, just the VIN and Engine No and I was out of there in 10 mins :)

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
