well, RACV said that back-end noise was a rattly exhaust. The wheel noise was fixed before they did the check. Pick-up me car tomorrow!

I agree. I kinda sounded like it was coming from the back-left so at first I thought it was the exhaust making a racket. But the sound only really appeared during the test-run. I really don't remember hearing it before the run. Which side is the fuel pump on?

any other ramifications of not having that green plug connected? Its not going to let the engine cook or anything is it? And yeah, I've booked an RACV pre-purchase inspection but, cos of easter, there is a queue. Won't be getting checked til the 26th

could someone check this one for me? ECR33110460 Thanks in advance.

I had a look at a series 2 R33 gtst this morning and took a few pics. The whole car seems to look pretty decent and it certainly performed well on the test-drive. There were a few odd noises like a metallic scraping sound from one of the rear wheels (worn brake I guess) and an even stranger 'gurgling/grinding' sound from the rear under idle (could not figure that one out), but other than that it seems ok. One thing I did notice in the engine was an unplugged cable at the front-left (near the radiator). There was also an unplugged lead coming from the engine fusebox. I've circled them both in the first picture. Anyone know what these may be for? The 'green' plug was reconnected before the test drive so I don't know how or what it could have affected. I assume the other lead was for some sort of a/m device that was removed at some stage. Any ideas about those plugs or are they not worth worrying about now?

yeah, the calculated fee I came up with was just under $1200. Cool, thanks for the input everyone.

I'm looking at getting a recently-imported R33 from a dealer in VIC. According to them, the car is complied and has a RWC. What kind of registration costs am I look at to get this car driving? I've been checking the VICRoads site and have come up with more than enough information to utterly confuse me. For example, there is a section relating to the Registration of an imported vehicle. I'm not sure how much of this page, if any, applies to me as it details Import approval and compliance, etc (things that have already been done). To make things even less clear, the Buying and Selling section indicates that a car can usually only be sold in one of two ways: with an RWC or without an RWC (though the vehicle would have no plates and NOT be registered). Given that the car does have an RWC (for now), is it likely that the car is actually already registered in AU? If the car IS registered, would that mean a (relatively) simple Vehicle Registration Transfer form need only be completed and the Transfer Fee's paid? If NOT registered, am I likely to have to go through the full Initial Registration process (appointments, inspections, registrations, Traffic Accident Charges, insurance duty, number plates and stamp duty)? Any help would be appreciated
