I've just imported a R32 GTR though a dealer in Melbourne. Its a 93 model and needs to be complianced before it can be driven. The dealer i'm getting it from doesn't have the compliance plates and is using my car as the test car. However, due to Christmas and everything, the government inspections are on holidays and can not look at the car will the end of Jan so i won't be getting the car till feb. :)

Is there another way of getting the car on the road qujicker? i can't wait :)

I don't want to burst your bubble but i am a complier and from when our R32 test car arrived until we had it passed and ready to rego was 5 months.....don't expect to see your car on the road before the end of March and most likey April.

The proceedure goes something like this

Sample car arrives Day 1

prepare evidence and comply car and submit to DOTARS 2weeks (if you are good)

DOTARS schedule inspection of vehicle in 6 weeks at best and up to 2 or 3 months

At inspection Items are raised that the complier must reply to and resubmit to DOTARS another 2 weeks.

DOTARS assess and approve vehicle for compliance another 2 to 6 weeks

We allow 6 months to get each new modle on our system

Any complier who would encourage a customer to purchase a sample car and tell them that they would have it on the road under under six months from purchase in Japan is being down right irresponsible.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
