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.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
