I have done all the work my self appart from the inturstion bars as it requires some skill full welding. there isnt much to be done to GTRs only really 4 major things, intrustion bars/ stop light/ child restraints/and the engineer cert

every thing else is just normal RTA stuff.. I am only waiting on Skyline Performance to weld the bars for me, they are pretty busy...

I am pretty sure that you don't require an Engineers certificate to register the car. I have spoken to the motor registry and they indicated that to register car all that was necessary is a regular car registration inspection.

I would imagine that they would check then for side intrusion bars, stop lights and child restrainsts?

Sorry but that is incorrect... to check for side intrusion bars you would haver to remove the door skins and the RTA will NOT do this during an inspection they will turna round and say " can I have the engineer cert pls?" or something to those means.. you require a cert and the compliance spec as to the 15Yr rule standards. Guys as much as this sux you best off just doing it. Call John Wilson from AKZ Engineering he is the most help full and cheepest I found, Give him a call and say I refured you. I will post his contact number shortly...

Jap Manufacturer's started installing side intrustion bars in LATE 89' as the standard changed in 1990, most all cars you import from 1990 on WILL have them fitted as standard. but pre 1990 ie 89' only limmited few had them, mine - did not- it sux and is likely to cost $450 installed if I remove and strip the doors, which I have already done. There is nothing more tomrnting than having to pull appart you brand new baby. BUT the sooner it is done the sooner it will be registered and I can drive it (with out being dodgy :rofl: ).

John Wilson did my car. He is a top bloke and will give ya a discount if u mention how poor you are. (He takes pity on young blokes with awesome cars trying to get over rego) Is getting a GTR himself (He also owns two 20B cosmo's. He's the best engineer around and does a top job. Also he is one of the only other members of the public to have a set of keys to the old drag strip!

Godzillr - what did he have to do to it? did it have a cat for the exhaust (factory system?) did it have child restraints in the back? When i spoke to them all they said was i needed 2 x 200mmx200mm plates (with a both through the centre) and the cat. if it passed a normal roadworthy, it would then be regoed. no engineers cert required.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
