First off I must apologise for this as it is really a double post. I made a post in the Cosmetic mods section, but I don't believe it was the correct section. It was only about my HIDs but I think it will be much better to keep all the licensing issues to 1 thread.

I took my car for registration today and failed for 4 reasons;

1. Immobilizer

To sort this out, I will just take the car to an auto sparky and get them to fit an alarm + immobilizer.

2. HIDs do not comply (Need self cleaning device and auto leveler).

I am a little confused as to what I can do here. Has anyone here got some experience with this? I really want to keep them, so I'm thinking just a switch out with some bulb style lights to get registered then replacing the HIDs after.

3. Tint too dark.

I think the guy at the centre was just making an assumption as I believe it is 20% light through for it to be legal. But I guess I will just believe him and remove the tint.

4. GPS in way of forward vision.

I have removed this already.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :):thanks:

Self explanatory

35% Tint in front of Driver

20% Behind Driver

Cheers for that. It's the stock Xenon lights.

Do you know if it is just a direct swap out for the bulb style lights including reflector? Will any wiring need to be changed or will I need an adapter?

Thanks

Immobiliser must be fitted. Can't get around that.

HID's must be removed. Just put some halogen bulbs in. Put your HID's back in once it passes.

Tints - just rip them off, get it passed and then go get new tints put back on.

GPS - self explanatory.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
