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 :)

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
