Everything is easy to get complianced - Air filter, Exhaust, Front Mount Cooler - all need to be removed and placed with factory ones.

Only problem is the stupid sunroof. This guy must have been on drugs for removing the sunroof and placing it with carbon fibre. His aim was to make the car lighter. Yet he hasnt got a carbon fibre bonnet. I will need to find/loan a sunroof for compliance i guess.

Its gonna be interesting.

And suspension, wheels, carpet, steering wheel, seats, rear wing for high mount stop light, front indicators/front bar and the list goes on, then you have to hope it isnt an accident repair car,

Who ever said that it will be complianced I will hold them to that one.

suspension, its adjustable, just need to raise it to legal height, steering wheel - can borrow one no problems, rear wing - i might just remove the whole boot and borrow a boot with standard wing. front indicators and bar - might just borrow a front bar as well : ). Its a fair bit of work, but i have 1 year to comply the car to Aust. standards, so hopefully all in good time : )

Actually, i purchased the car directly myself. I knew what i was getting myself into. I personally dont see it as much of a problem. Borrowing a front bar, boot, indicator and raising suspension are all minor work. Removing intercooler replacing with factory one, might be a bit of a headache, but still think its not that severe.

The only problem is the Sunroof. I would need to source one from a wrecked skyline. But how many wrecked skylines have sunroofs !!!!

Allblitz - it will take a lot of time and money to get that car complied LEGALLY. Its not a simple matter of putting the coilovers to the standard height, the car needs to be 100% standard.

Looking at the pictures, it needs: Rims, Steering Wheel, Seats, Wing, Exhaust, Intercooler, Carpet, Suspension all put back to standard to begin with.

Good Luck

Thank you boj01 some one else belives me how hard it is to comply a modded car under RAWs, I would like to know who is complying it.

boj01: unless its an 89 model, at which point compliance will be a cake walk.

except that it's not an 89 model. it's an R33 GTST.

appart from the complaince issues the car looks nice. realy like the colour. don't know about that FMIC install though... they seem to like cable ties.

I have complied 4 cars in the past 2 weeks, all with similar issues - suspension, wheels, exhaust, guages, air filter, blow off valve etc.

In regards to the coilovers - its ok, as long as its the standard height. (thats what i have been told anyway).

I have a set of standard R33 wheels, airbox, exhaust so that parts taken care of.

As i said earlier, only issue i can see is the Sunroof.

This is my car coming soon from Japan. Not as great as all the GTR's i'm seeing in this thread but I did the best with the money I had. Just a question on the picture of the rear end, does that rear bumper look a bit suss, just doesn't look right to me. The rear bumper seems to sit a bit higher than the right rear quarter panel behind the wheel.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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
    • 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.
