If anyone has done it can you go through all the thinigs that have to be changed to get it though regency and anything i should look out for, i have read in another section that if i take it through once and it fails, i dont get another attempt, is this true? it is an r32 skyline! any help will be appreciated.

It is state specific. You get as many chances as it takes.

I got my 32GTR through in March this year, needs an engineering cert.

which means you need the following things done.

**Engineering Cert**

**Side intrusion bars installed in the doors**

**Child restraints Installed**

**disabled any turbo timers**

**make sure the car meets normal ADR's(exhaust/mods etc)**

The rules have change abit in the last year, and the following things

NO LONGER need doing:

*mirrors changed from convex to flat*

*unleaded fuel restrictor ("Unleaded Only" sticker required)*

I think thats it really.

If I think of anything else will post it up or just PM me should you want more info.

This was for an 89' R32 GTR.

Cheers,

Stirlo

cheers stirlo, that is what i thought, i didn't know about the new changes with the mirrors and fuel filler restrictions so that will save me some time. thanks.

Any one else had different experiences? its only a gts :) so i dont think i will have too much trouble.

I took my DR30 through, got it passed first time.

Just make sure the car is clean and presentable, same with yourself and don't act fully uleh

Oh, and the only ADR's it has to adhere to are the ones on one of the forms you should have already, I think it might have been the 'approval to import for registration' one?

Can anyone confirm that this is the case for WA?

if you speak to transport SA, they will give you a list of things that need changing prior to inspection (side intrusion bars, child restraint anchor points ect)

then you need to make sure you have nothing else defectable ie external venting blow of valves, non adr approved steeringwheels, turbotimers ect ect.

then make sure car is clean with no signs of oil leaks in the engine bay ect.

do all that and you should get through

Abit off topic, but does anyone know if the stamp duty, when you register the car (usually 3% of market value in most states) is calculated on the proper market value of the car in australia now or the purchase price from when we bought it in japan?

Here in QLD I reg'd my R32 GTR for the first time. When they asked how much I said $20000. If you go off your auction or dealer receipt you can't go wrong.

Basically, the cost price of my car was really cheap, under 4k. When the market value is probably 12-14k. Is it gonna be ok if I show them the receipt for 4k write that as my purchase price?

if you intend to insure the car ...declare market value at rego @ the same amount you want it insured for

smart ass insurer can can use rego declared value for payout

has happened to mate of mine...20k car declared @ 10k (for rego stamp duty) insurer paid out 10k only

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
