Awesome looking car! Your first concern should be, CAN you get it through a blue slip as is? If not, how much will you have to change and spend to get it through?

When making a purchase like this make sure you have cash spare for these sort of issues!

The car looks really well built BUT NSW rules of late have been so strict and are being enforced, so if there are any potential defects on the car in NSW then work out what to do about it before it happens...

I would say the car may be known by the SAU VIC guys, try ask them?

But REVS check, EPA check and speak to a Blue Slip station!

Welcome and awesome car your looking at.

Looks like it needs more boost

Looks like it needs more boost

Why do you say that? Doesnt seem to be helping the OP on his purchase decision?

[jmkgtr]

Yeah thats exactly wat I was worried about. Any ideas on how I could check if it would pass a blue slip without having the car in nsw? Another problem is its only registered untill the 10th of this month so if I wana drive it back I need to move fast and get these checks done. Im really hoping I can buy this car and yeah I got spare money after purchase as I was kind of expecting these probs with interstate car deals. U guys think its worth the risk?

[jmkgtr]

Yeah the boost does seem to be running quiet high??? 21psi at the street tune seened like akot to me but im no exoert.

Blue slip requires an inspection - ie you need the car in NSW. You will need to read up on the rules as to what will comply and what won't - looking at the engine bay and the list of mods - there are alot of things that will have to be reverted back to stock to pass.

for the power levels they would be 2860-5 turbos - 21psi is quite normal for them.

Oh bummer4 that was my main concern a few things is fine but alot of things is not so good Im thinking its a bit too risky for my liking such a shame cause im in love with this car

[jmkgtr]

If only it were in nsw not bloody vic..... ahhh

there doesn't seem too much under the hood that would make an issue... Remove the catch can, replace the airbox, unbolt all the shiny accessories and the coil pack cover. the rest is just bling

plus the ecu, boost controller, exhaust etc.

Most of the parts you need, you should be able to borrow off people - It's just the labour time that will be costy - unless you can do it yourself.

Seats will be fine

I was just exaggerating as this thing is a machine

easiest thing to do is source a good blueslipper that doesnt have to look at the car

yeah thats the obvious option lol...but if you need to ask, you generally dont know someone that will do that for you

Well if any1 could recommend me a good blue slip inspector anywere in sydney willing to travel, I could make it worth there while $$$ pm me

[jmkgtr]

Well guys I took the risks and decided to buy. Its well worth the risk and travel as soon as I saw it, its by far the cleanest gtr r33 I seen the attention to detail is amazing. Hopeing to get it registered early this week.

Good luck with it mate. I hope you find a good blue slip place to take it to.

If you take it to a place and they say they need you to spend thousands of dollars in order to get it back to close to stock for the blue slip get them to make a list of exactly what needs to be changed and post back here. Don't let them start working on it.
