yes, you remove the roll cage, then comply it. simple.

Ok so you do have to remove it...

So in other words, this car will neeed alot of shit removed for it to be compiled...

Sindows, why would you pay $18000 plus rego, stamp duty, repairs and compliance for that car, when there are a couple of clean 89/90 model GTR's in close to stock form floating around that are already registered with good compression test results for around the same money?

I hope you can afford the maintenance on car like that

Condition of seats is good, only minor tear to passenger seat shoulder

Brake pedal feels very soft (air in the system or fluid leak?)

There was a Japanese can of brake fluid in the interior

No rear seat or rear parcel tray (still has speakers)

Scuffs & scratches on front bumper

Front lip spoiler has paint peeling

Overall paint condition appears to be good

Many of the white spots on the body in photos are just dirt

Stone chips to rear of left side skirt

Paint is a little sandblasted behind left rear wheel

2 scratches on left rear quarter

Tiny spot of surface rust behind right rear wheel

Warp to GTR bonnet lip

Marks on boot lid from rear spoiler removal

Boot lip spoiler has some warps

Minor rust on front strut towers in engine bay

Weld mark on driver's side front strut tower

Dash lifting slightly in usual R32 spot

Possible exhaust leak but it was hard to tell

Car ran out of petrol while being inspected

Engine revved fine, no noises or smoke

Im telling you, buying a cheap GTR, in that condition is asking for trouble

sindows, providing it has 15yo import approval it wont be too hard to comply. basically new seats (those ones are f**ked anyway) and remove the cage. will also need to check tyres, and fix the brakes. all those things are for blue slip.

but still it may need work, then again it may not. still wont cost less than around $25K on the road and looking nice.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
