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

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.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
