R33 Gtr NZ compliance

Hey guys, took my imported gtr for a compliance here in Nz but it came up with few problems. Firstly i have a HKS suspension installed so i need to get it LVV Certified which is going to be atoung $500-$600. Secondly if i do take it i am sure they are gona say that the muffler isnt stock so then i will have to pay for that. Think its extra $200-$300 and thirdly they might also point out that the wheels are not stock either, which will be another $200. I have got the NISMO wheels made my RAYS. So some of the Gtr's came with them and others came with the isonic r33 wheels. Does anyone know if they are going to make an issue out of these wheels? I have included the photos of the wheels and the exhaust. I am sure the exhaust is aftermarket but could someone please confirm. Also, all this could be avoided if i just put the stock suspension in and take it back, then i wont have to get a LVV done. So does anyone know where i can get the stock coilovers for my r33? Any help is appreciated.

Just go somewhere else for the LVV cert - it shouldn't cost more for different wheels, muffler etc - its just one price for the cert (which you will need anyway). The main pain will be fitting driveshaft loops (tedious but cheaper if you do it yourself).  My cert involved RB30 engine, bigger brakes, wheels, custom exhaust, different seats and probably a few more for around $500 - although it was a few years ago. Go online to see where LVV certifiers are to be found and ring around for a price (they all charge different prices).

Hey mate, do you know or recommend anyone? I live in Auckland.

cheers

Mine was Neil Fraser but he has handed over to someone else at Fraser Cars. There are about 10 on the Auckland list and almost all do category 1a and 1b which is what you want. Have a read of the categories as well if you like.

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
