Hi All !!

This is my first post as I recently bought a 1997 R33 GTST. I bought the car from NSW and was wondering which of the following parts (which are on my car) will be placed next to a big fat Cross when i try to pass it in the ACT?

I Have:

PARTS LIST REMOVED (No you dont get my Part List MR RTA!!!)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

JD

Hey thought id let you know they would fail you on the blow off valve, pod filter if its not secured, exhaust if its too loud, turbo timer, and your wheels the rear tyres can not be wider than the front and the window tint. went through it all on mine not long ago.

good luck with it, semo

Taking a guess and baseing it off what I had to do when I changed my rego over:

17" Rims and tyres will be right as long as there is enough tread on them.

Strut Brace, boost gauge, turbo timer and bodykit should all be fine.

Not sure on the current regulations are with exposed pods, mine passed fine.

I'm faily sure BOV will have to be plumback to pass rego.

Exhaust will pass as long as it isn't over the legal dB limit and if it isn't too low to the ground.

If tint is less than 35% it will probably have to come off, if they notice it.

Hope that helps.

I went through the same thing as you a few months back.

I got it passed at a local servo, but less then a month later i got a nice letter in the mail from the RTA informing me i have been "randomly" chosen for a "quality assurance" test, and that i MUST take my car to dickson within 2 weeks or have my rego canceled, or cop a $2k fine.

Random my ass.

So good luck to you even if you do get a dodgy pass, just be looking out for the letter in the mail if your unlucky!

yeah ok thanks guys! .. i have a mitigation plan to put stock stuff back on if i get done... the only thing is the hastle (as all of you prolly know) .. the dealer i bought the car from in sydney was awesome and said that what ever i got done for he would put on stock to help me pass, then i put back on my mods.. only problem is the pain in the ass stuffing around to go up and back twice again to sydney...

yeah my exhaust sits (at the lowest point) 60mm off the ground so i think that will get hammered. however its only cat back so shouldnt be too much stuffing around..

thanks for all the info guys..

I'm in the process of getting my GTR registered from NSW to ACT-3rd time lucky-no! The second set of wheels they have picked up again a tiny crack in the rim-fix that & I'm through(hopefully)

things that were a problem:

1. clearance with exhaust-modified for height but still too low(its 100mm min with 4 people in it!)-suspension has been raised so it passed that but looks like a 4wd jacked up.

2. Child restraints-need these and the parcel shelf

3. sealed battery in boot (33) that says "sealed battery"

4. exhaust too loud-I changed the rear muffler to a quite one-passed the DB test

5. wheels-have to be as per door plague-my 18x10 were no good-3 of Jays 17x9 have passed with #4's hairline crack being repaired.

6. Things that passed: HKS airfilters, BOV (although factory), altered suspension aprt from height

My experience was that it had to go through Dickson to get the ID check anyway and in the words of the inspectors "there are always tough on these sorts of cars"!

Good luck :)

hey rumble why did you have to get an ID check? was it because it was a fresh import? And did you first try a local garage and then they told you to go to Dickson?

Cheers Mate.

When I transferred my rego from NSW to ACT it had to go through Dick(head)son for an ID check because it was bought privately interstate. If I had already owned the car in NSW I think I could have taken it anywhere for the inspection.

PS - this 2 x JD thing is going to get confusing :P

Hey White JD :laugh:

This should answer your questions:

And if in doubt, just ring them - they really are lovely people and want nothing more than to ensure that you can do whatever mods you like to your car :laugh:

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.

      Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers

      ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
