History of the Car...


Got a monster of a GTR that was built and tuned by a workshop in QLD and was registered there as well. Its got N1 Block, Tomei pistons, very lumpy cams (at least 270 deg), OS Giken triple

plate clutch, fuel surge tank and pretty much all top of the range parts to make a 1000hp on E85.


Previous owner left overseas and didn't bother renewing the Rego. Long story short, the car is in WA now and I have been asked to help with getting it engineered.


I spoke to an engineer who asked me to fill out the DPI modifications application and send it to him to review before sending it to DPI but I would also like to get a second opinion.



Questions ...

1. Can someone share their ideas or past experiences regarding such mods and if there is a chance of getting this thing registered in WA??

2. I would like to speak to a few workshops regarding the above, Any suggestions where to start?

its a shame if it was still registered in QLD you could have found a way to transfer it in your name and after 12 months of ownership you could have easily just swapped the rego over to WA without going over pits.

Yeah that was my first option until I called the licensing centre in QLD who confirmed it was de-registered last week.

I know it will take a lot of time and cash to get it sorted but wanted to find out if I need to replace any parts .etc

Correct me if i'm wrong, it may be different in QLD, but isnt there a time lapse of a few weeks where you can re-register without needing to go to the pits?

Correct. It's about 4-6 weeks, I'm not 100% on the time frame, but you incur a fee for it and move on.

      I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.

      To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.

      Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.
