Hi fellow Skyliners,

I have a R33 (1997 series 2 GTS25t) that's been unregistered since 2005 and it's been garaged all this time - it's been turned over and warmed up every weekend so it's all good in that aspect.

Now, what I want to know is, I plan to get it registered in the next few weeks and it requires a blue slip. It's relatively stock except for

* Frontmount Intercooler - installed properly with brackets

* A really quiet exhaust that it came from Japan with

* Set of 19 inch rims

* M-sport front bumper & 400R side skirts

* Rear seat removed - I want to register it as a two-seater.

I mean....it's still got the factory air induction box ffs !

Does anybody know of someone that does blue slips in western Sydney that's not so strict in regards to minor modifications ? I'll pay the extra few dollars for a blind mechanic if need be - if you know what I mean *wink* *wink* :)

Your help is much appreciated.

I'm between Blacktown and Parramatta out west

I searched around a bit and got recommanded the following people

* Hami LPG - Blacktown - Some indian guy that really hates oil leaks but usually pass most things that arent too out-of-this-world

* Zec - Castlehill

* Eastern Creek Smash Repairs

Please let me know if anybody has had experience with any of these places in relations to blue slips....Thanks.

Thanks evil_weevil, I'll try those place next week and see what they say.

180_mph, seriously man, why wouldn't I post the easy-blue-slippers here ? Wouldn't it make life easier for others in the same boat as me ? Besides, blue slips aren't something that's needed everyday.

Plus it's extra business for the mechanic........so it's a win-win-win situation for all involved.

Gregor, at no stage did I mention the term 'dodgy' lol I said 'blind mechanic' just so that I'm not discriminating against the disabled LOL ;)

180, evil-weevil is NOT stating that these two workshops are dodgy, just that they may be able to help obtain a blue slip. Both places are reputable, and I seriously doubt either one of them would risk their reputation and business licences for the sake of some clown with an extra $50-100 (or whatever) on top of the cost.

RBEE, if you really ARE looking for a dodgy/easy blue-slip, then asking for one on an online, public forum is pretty damned dumb.

Here's something that everyone should think about: if you manage to easily get a car back on the road with an even slightly dodgy blue or pink slip for your car, how many cars do you think this same place has passed for blue or pink slips that aren't even close to road-worthy?

This is why we have THIS thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/228238-read-this-whos-the-best-tunerworkshopresprayerdetaileretc/

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
