If you wanna get one done on your way through. Stop in at Brissy and I can organise one through work. We get a third party in to write the RWC for us. He does a basic inspection but relies mostly on our extensive inspection of your vehicle *wink*.

Seeing as though it's an import and I drive one, my boss is a bit of a toss so he'll give it to me to inspect.

It'll give you an excuse to have a bit of a look around in brissy on your way up and as long as there are no major defects I can pretty much assure you of a pain free RWC.

Pm me if you are interested.

This option available to semi locals Dan? I'll be needing a RWC or 2 in the near future...

LOL, they are the best types of RWC... thanks heaps for the offer :D but unfortunately I will be running on pretty tight schedule and have to get up there for work. Thanks again!

I recommend running your Vic rego out till the end. You lose allot of money if you try and get a rebate through fees n shite.

As already mentioned if pulled over and asked how long you have been living in the state tell em less than 2 months. Then switch over the rego to Qld. I did this for 10months on Vic rego.

I agree with Shane.

keep your rego as it is, including your license.

Don't worry too much about the RWC coz Qld's laws are alot easier than Vic esp. if you have mods.

there are places here that are anti import (backwards types) and will tell you that you can't buy parts for them etc etc.

True, but the cost of the parts is significantly higher than most local cars.

A good example is coils :bs!:, plus the further you go north the more expensive they are ie freight.

Cool, I'll do that, just use up my VIC rego, then change over. The RWC should be fine (hopefully) I have put my car back to BOG STOCK now anyway, just to be sure.

Have any of you local guys/girls used Ray Hall Turbo Charging ?

OK... I made it in one piece! But I will never do it again... 3500 farking kilometers!!! Got a speeding fine on the Leichart HWY - 118 in a 100 KM zone, had not seen a car all day then over a hill comes a bush wacko QLD copper from Banana! hahahahaaa, what kind of name is Banana?!?!

If you want to really fu(k your duco up, then do it! Stone chips, bugs and all kinds of other nasty things bouncing off the car, but I spent all day yesterday cleaning her up and looks a treat again, just need the front bar resprayed.

Well, I've been here for three days now and have seen a black 180, a green soarer and a black soarer...

Will spend this week trying to find a workshop that can give me a roadworthy certificate, so I can transfer my rego over. I think I will get 'QLD - The Smart State' number plates... hahahah NOT! They are as bad as my VIC ones 'VIC - The Place To Be' NOT!!!

Anyway, would love to catch up with a few of the locals! :P

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
