Hi all,

edit: i posted this here instead of NSW section due to most ppl posting here + i've searched already

i'm looking at inspecting an r34 gtt on wednesday... just have a couple q's and would appreciate if someone could help answer them.

1) The car has just been compiled but has not been registrated yet. Would the car have been mechanically tested during compliance or should i take it to a workshop just to be sure? This leads to (2)

2) The car is in Wyong, bout 1 - 1 1/2 hrs from SYD, do anyone know any workshops near there as I would not be able to drive it to SYD for inspection. My last option would be to take it to NRMA for inspection, which leads me to ask whether they are a good idea to use?

Big thanks to all

- Eric

Get a workshop to give it a very thorough going over as the compliance process doesn't require that the engine be in great shape. Not in the area so can't recommend anyone for you unfortunately. Also I'd suggest getting a rego inspection done at the same time (pink slip in NSW i think?) because some things that pass compliance may not necessarily pass rego in all states.

Good luck.

I know that where my car is getting complianced, it also gets a FULL service as well. New fluids for everything, new cat, new brake pads. I was surprised about pads, but i'm certainly not complaining. So after a full service the car should be running pretty good, but yeah, wouldn't have any extensive engine checks like NJR said.

I'm not sure how well ppl like NRMA know their imports, sometimes they have like 1 or 2 guys that specialise in them. So maybe give em a call and ask about imports?

good luck

just because the car gets complyed doesnt mean its in good nick , it only means it has certain things done to it to make it comply with adrs .

yea they must change fluids , brake , engine oil + filter, new tyres and new seat belts . as for new brake pads the only have to do themif they are more than 50% worn .

have someone check the car for you and make sure they check the underbody for rust as well .

good luck with it .

oh ok, so brakes are only if less than 50%.

well my car is this compliance places test car, so they are making sure EVERYTHING is spot on. I'm sure my brakes were more than 50% but i guess saves hassle come time canberra checks the car if everything is new anyway. I'm certainly not complaining.

Brake pads must be standard Nissan items when complied which is rarely the case on imports. Can be a huge concern on R34 GTR as they are hard to source in Australia and worth $1000 each end. Not sure if they have to be of a minimum depth.

Hey??? Are you sure about that. Seems a little odd since that isn't the case with the R34 GTT.

Brake pads must be changed regardless of condition as part of the compliance process.

not so under the new rules but yea they must be nissan original part numbers .

yea if you have to change gtr ( brambo ) pads they are very expensive but nothing stoping you from buying one set to pass your car then take them off put them on another car and so on to recoup some of your money !!!

      Blue slip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
