My 99 R34 Gtt

[Exodus01]

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a 99 Skyline R34 GTT from Victoria (I am in NSW) and have a few questions.

I did some searching but couldn't get any definite answers.

* I got knocked back for Blue Slip which my brother has mentioned should be fine as long as we engineer the front mount and full through exhaust

- I am not sure exactly what the engineer certificate will do for me? Will this make it OK to blue slip or will I still have problems?

- If I get a mod added to the car later do i then need to re-engineer that component and go back to the RTA or just engineer?

- If i put a new set of RIMs on it (which are larger then they currently have) does this require an engineer cert?

* How low can i have the vehicle?

* My battery sits in the engine bay where my brothers R33 is in his boot, is there a benefit having it in the boot/engine bay?

* There was a lot of discussion on whether there it is better to run Full Synth of Half Synth Oil in the car.

- What is better and i don't care about one costing more then the other?

As you can see i have minimal knowledge about cars and any information would be great.

Hey mate, your easiest way is to take the front mount off and put a standard side mount on as well as a stock exhaust, get the blue slip and then put it all back on after a couple weeks of getting the blue slip, where abouts are you located i think i may help you, as for oil, from my experiance for a turbo vehicle its allways better to get full synthetic oil, how much larger are the rims? and what tyres? it depends on how much bigger your going, tell me both tyre sizes and ill run them throught my tyre calculator and if it turns out ok you dont need a engineers cert, only reason youd want a engineers cetificate for your wheels, front mount and exhaust is to get the police off your back, but now days engineers certificated dont really do as much when it comes to getting defected, let me know how you go, take care.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I am really happy with the current front mount and exhaust which is why i don't want to change it if possible. I am located in Western Sydney (Silverdale/Penrith area). I would love help if available.

I am not sure what size RIMs i would put on which is more why i asked the question.
