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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
