Hi guys,

Im soon to be getting my R33 GTST from japan through Prestige motorsport. I have a few questions in which I need to ask about, to get the car complied in Australia.

**The car comes with a 3.5 inch exhaust. Not too specified, but im highly thinking this is turbo back, and definately not standard. Do I need to place the whole standard turbo back exhaust on before I go for compliance or would a standard muffler do the job to get complied?

**I was thinking to use a second hand airbox from a mate of mine who owns a r33 gtst. Would that pass up still or do i need to buy a brand new box?

**For tires & wheels, I understand they have to be factory wheels. Can I used second hand tires and wheels to get complied?

Thanks guys

Geoff should be able to answer you :P which workshop are you dealing with in Sydney?

The exhaust must be standard, same goes for the airbox (used box from another car is ok but note - they might chuck your mate's airfilter out so take that out) and for the wheels and tires, you must buy new tires and present the receipt. 225/45/16 are like $110 each from Big O in Moorebank (or $105 from Tyre King in Lansvale..) for shitty DOT marked tyres. Be warned, the other workshops take the RAWS rules by the book and I've heard they will destroy the aftermarket exhaust if it needs be and bug you to get the stock one.

EDIT: deleting the workshop name :)

Hey guys,

Im actually getting it taken to SSPI (South sydeny performance imports... i think?) located @ flora st, in Kirrawee.

As for the wheels, its not a problem, as the one I bought through Geoff comes with a set of standards in which I can just place rubbers on when it arrives in Aus.

So have any of you guys heard feedback from this company in Kirrawee?

I wont take the car there with the wheels it comes with, not risking the Volk challenges getting destroyed.. :P

Cheers

Do the compliance people really look heavily into spring height?? The car im getting from Jap is lowered, but its not TOOO low. I was reading somewhere that spring height has to be stock, or within a certain range. Are compliance companies usually abit more flexible when it comes to springs?

Hey Mr_G, can I suggest you think a little further about what you are posting on a public forum? For that workshop to gain accreditation under the enw system they have had to spend a fortune....and what you are saying they will do is in direct contradiction to what they are allowed to do.

I would suggest having this whole thread deleted.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
