just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, just recently purchased my first skyline, its a 2000 model r34 gt-t, i bought it from powerplay imports in sydney and must say they were fantastic people to deal with, after 18mths or so of saving up its great to finally realise my dream, ive posted a few photos of my car and look forward to hopefully meeting a few of you on various cruises over the summer!

V.nice indeed... damn Id luv a R34 (4door) tiptronic Neo, but needed the wagon for the family. They are such great value at the moment as well.

Well done, see you out there somestage.

thanks for all the kind words guys, one quick question, i bought the car unregistered and it is currently on an unregistered vehicle permit which runs out tomorrow, i know when changing all cars from one state rego to another it has to go through regency and the car does have a few defectable items on it (turbo timers, pedals etc) would it be in my best interests to replace/remove these items or just leave them on when they go through the process of checking the engines numbers and what else they do exactly?

hahhaha, thats a big question, check out the sticky thread Regency Experiences.

In short, take off what you can (hide turbo timer, take off pedals etc) and go to Sturt Rd RTA. Much nicer to deal with, and more relaxed, than Regency.

They'll just want to determine VIN engine numbers etc, but have power to defect if they see fit. Regency will bend you over a barrel if they can....

wheels look fine shouldnt have to bother with those, just call up and check how wide your wheels can be that would be the only issue, ride height looks fine, if slightly larger probably worth changing but i got my old car through with 16x8 when 7 was the max legal width, all depends on if you get someone who likes your car theyll let it slip, change all mods tho as they will rip you a new a#$hole if they spot those and wont see you driving around for ages

hey welcome dude as they said take out all aftermarket stuff BUT one of my mates did the same bought a car from QLD and just went to rego office and the lady just changed over plates then and there no questions asked

very lucky..

catch ya round

very nice looking 34 you have there, congratulations :D Awesome colour too (will be interesting to see next to John's old bayside blue R34GTR) :) My R34 is in being complied as we speak.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
