Hey Guys so I'm going to check out a GTR in WA this weekend... and if I was to buy it what difficulties would I encounter when trying to register it here ? the car is a registered in WA already... But when I bring it over here Im going to need a blue slip to get it registered...

Ive included a picture of the engine bay and inside the cabin... any feed back much appreciated...

you'll need to bring it back to legality - i.e. exhaust 90db etc

i'd get a list of modifications and talk to the workshop that is going to do your blue slip.

If you do buy it, I recomand CEVA for transport. I've used them before and I'm using them again for a reverse trip to yours. Just let them know if the car is under 150mm clearence.

I am 99% certain that all you need is a blue slip, engineering is only required if the guy issuing the blue slip doesnt want to pass you as the vehicle is non compliant etc. In that case...

Did someone say dodgy blue slip :ph34r:

Unigroup wont be able to help as you'll be needing a blue slip, hence my post above. Call Greg at Autosport before you buy it, he knows exactly what you need to do to register from out of state

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
