Re- registering a Stolen and recovered vehicle

Hello guys I have just purchased a r33 gtr

From pickles auction , it had a clear title although

Has had the vin numbers scratched off and compliance plate broken off

I have the original vin numbers and compliance details

Been on the phone with the rta and was told to get a blue slip

Have it failed then request a inspection by the rta to identify the vehcle

Inspection is next Monday just wondering if any body else has done the Same thing? Body is straight although looks like there has been some engine upgrades

Hard to take it back to full stock as gtr parts are quiet expensive

Yep that's the one , drives well though

No evidence of fire just vin been gridded off

Mods that I can see

Adaptronic mapped ecu

Larger twin turbos garret not sure what though

Hks waste gates

Front mount intercooler

Some sort of cams upgrades ( from the idle sound )

Denso injectors looks like 660 cc

Turbo back exhaust 4 inch

Aftermarket manifolds and dump

Greedy prospec 2 boost controller

Body seems to be in good condition for a stolen recovered vehicle

Looks like a recent re spray pearl white

Engine looks like its had a recent rebuilt aswel , judging by the turbo and other seals

It would of defiantly taken a beating but I'm surprised it wasn't stripped before it was recovered , at least the ecu and electronics

HA HA good luck getting that past the RTA, Blue slip they will fail that on so many lvls. Everything needs to be dead stock unless you have a mate doing the blue slip. Prepare to be raped. Might pay to take your own lube.

Serious? Not too hard to put that back to factory at all.....

I want to keep it to be honest , I don't think it would drop much I mean you would be surprised how many cars have

Been smashed and had dodgy repairs out there going for 20+

This ones is actually in good shape

Body and engine wise looks like somebody has spend some $$$ on it

    • Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.
    • @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.
    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
