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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      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.
