hey guys, i've got a r34-gtt and have had it for quite a while, i bought it fairly cheap and now im a bit paranoid beacuse i looked at the PPSR check and the free rego check of my car, and while the number plate and all is correct, it says

body type = SEDAN

when infact, my car is a 2 door coupe?

Can anyone provide some insight or thought into this? Is this hard to fix? What could the reasons for this be? or how will this effect me?

Thanks heaps guys.

I was deemed "paranoid" once, but that didn't mean there was no-one following me!

:P

My 32 GTR is regod as a sedan and to avoid complications I'd just leave it . I went to get mine changed when I looked at the rego papers but my mechanic said don't bother with it as it can be a very painful process to fix it. Not sure why but the RMS tends to make simple tasks very hard for no apparent reason.

to fix it, its just a matter of going to a blueslip place and paying for an update of details, like $20, then next time your sent rego papers it will say the correct one,
HOWEVER being a skyline in nsw your car is a SEDAN, as in nsw the Coupe shape code is for 2 seater only,

even looking at the proper rvd for the s14, http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/rvd-pre1999/data/pdf/10042.pdf its listed as a 2 door sedan.

and its not the rms that puts them in like that, its the mechanic that does the blueslip when its regoed, as they put a shape code on the blueslip that the rms staff enter into the system.

i know as i do blueslips (well AUVIS e, safety check)

similar with CTP for NSW.

when I used to work for Shannons and did CTP, we had to ask what the code was on the rego paper for shape.

9 times out of 10 it was all SED where as people go 'eerr nah bro its a coupe aye cuz!!'

Im lucky, my Santa Fe classed as a WAG, and is cheaper for CTP/rego than a 4WD such as landcruiser

as others have said, dont worry - all good!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
