The biggest issue i've been told that i will have with licencing this R32 is having an engine swap and v-mount cooler.

Anyone been through something similar? Offer me any info?

**Edit - Compliance and Engineers signoff done!!! This should mean no dramas about the 2 issues mentioned above from the pits.

  • 2 months later...

Just a little update...if anyone cares.

Engineers certificate a.o.k!

Went to the pits last monday and i think i got off quite lightly!

The bonnet is raised slightly, needs to be level with side pans, vents/pin holes need to be covered up.

I have to take the mech diff out...i thought i might be lucky and it wouldnt clunk when he test drove it, i was wrong :P

And I have to remove the hicas lock bar.

Almost licenced this baby! yay!

hmm.. i have a hicas lock bar and a raised bonnet too... i also have bonnet pins..

you had to change all that just for complience on an 89 model car?????

my car is currently being complied... like always i expoect the invoice to be much more then the quote i was givin :P

they are lot stricter over there, it has to go through a full inspection at the transport place before it can hit the road..

here they barely even look under the bonnet.

Compliance is all done. it wasnt done by a workshop, rather a highly recommended gent. I paid for the major stuff that i couldnt do (side intrusion bars, fuel neck restrictor, engineers signoff, child restraints etc) and chose to do the rest of the work myself.

good to see you got it all signed off!

when does it go to pits now?

good luck with it all

cheers

*takes a deep breath*

PASSED PITS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!

2nd inspection and not everything from first inspection was rectified.

Oh what a lovely day ;)

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
