one vehicle which looks interesting, whats your opinion on these issues for sa compliance...


button clutch --- do they care about clutches?
r33 gtr rotors using Uas caliper adapters to fit larger front rotors --- is this an issue?
Brake master cylinder stopper --- i cant imagine this being an issue but ..??
Apexi safc ---- is this something that can be disconnected for compliance reasons (and driven veeeeery carefully on stock computer)?
New wheels 18 x 9.5 (offset unsure looks about +20, on the limit of inside the guards) w semi slick tyres --- not a chance with the tires... but the wheels?

I dint think clutch will matter.

Have to check allowances with wheels.

Caliper adaptors would be a no. They would need to be engineered with a certificate.

The safc could be hidden reasonably easily.

You drive the car in and out of the ID so clutch is no problem.

You cant see the adaptors unless you put your head under the car and look up behind the wheel so cant see that being a problem, at least mask up around and paint them black.

BMS is only 2/3 bolts, might as well remove it.

SAFC as Ben said you could hide, just push up behind glove box, or it will just be wired in next to the ecu and it only 3 wires so can remove and drive gently.

They are picky about wheels/tyres. Technically its within the track allowance, but im sure somebody would have some stockies you can borrow. Ive got some wheels I use for Id checks/regency but they have different size tyres front to rear. Welcome to borrow if you want to change tyres.

ok so it looks like i have found the right car, which seems to be one of the first i looked into which gives me a better feeling about it.
one more quick question, the cars in Vic and currently registered. the vic rego means nothing to me as it gets lost when transferred to SA reg.

but, does the car need to be registered to transfer to SA or does it make no difference, as in is it the same process of ID check (and maby the other roadworthy checks) weather its regoed or not.
does having NO current rego bring up any more processes?

a little birdie told me that you can still get ID checks for sa completed at specific police stations.
not sure if this would make it easier or if its easier to just hit the pits

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
