Re-Registering My Gtr

I've had my R32 GTR off the road since 2010. I attempted to get it re-registered a few months ago, and was informed that there was no compliance plate on the car. There is a plate in the engine bay, but apparently it's not a certified compliance plate (it's supposed to be yellow or another colour? In case you're wondering, it's blue). So without this plate, apparently I need to get my car engineered, and to do this I've reinstall seat belts and a few other bits and pieces, and in the meantime I'm having the whole car resprayed as there were a few spots of rust the engineer wasn't happy with. I expect the car to come out of the panel beater in about two weeks, but I have heard there have been some changes to registration laws with regards to imports that have been unregistered for extended periods of time. Does anyone have any more information about this? Is there any other issues that may arise in trying to get my care registered? I really don't want to spend more money on tyres, eng certificate and other bits and pieces only to find out it's registerable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Some 32s came in via the old 15 year rule, so don't have compliance plates. As soon as you let registration lapse or try to register them interstate, expect to have your arse handed to you. We deal with it on a regular basis in SA, where they refuse to look at them until they've been engineered, THEN been for a full pit inspection.

Anyone know if this is the case in NSW? I had planned on having the car engineered and then obviously a blue slip, I don't believe we have 'pits' in NSW.

Would the RTA be any help in this case?

Quick update, just spoke to the RTA, apparently it needs an engineering cert and a blue slip and I'm good to go as I have already had the car registered in NSW.

I'll update this thread once it's got rego. Thanks guys

How did you go with this Jimmy?

I've been searching for info on re-registering my GTS-t which has been off the road for many many years, came across your thread.

I'm still not 100% on going through with it if the whole process is going to be drawn out and expensive. Especially since I have to get the motor going again first before I can approach anything.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
