Gday. new to this site.

seen it before, looks good so i signed up.

selling my r33 and buying a R34 from sydney.

however the car is heavily modified.

it actually has a SR20 with 270kw at the wheels.

engine rebuilt.

Ive asked every question to the seller.

I keep getting told he has MOD plates for all engine mods.

for the engine, gearbox upgrade, etc etc etc. everything.

All sounds too good to be true.

does anyone know if the laws in NSW are the same as here>? do the NSW mod plates

stand a chance here.

I was told when u bring a car from interstate they dont do a inspection. just check the engine numbers etc. still alittle scared as the car isnt cheap and dont want to waste the money.

any help at all would be great.

Also the wheels coming on the car are 18x10.5 front. 18x11.5 rear. very illegal. not even worth trying to get through Regency ?

Technically it's not an inspection, i had no problems going to regency with my victorian r34.. they just checked the engine number. If you've got an SR20 i'm not sure how they would check the engine number against your vin.

But however, if something is obviously defectable then they'll deny you registration in sa. As what they did with my bosses bog stock saab he brought from nsw.. that had too dark a tint, they handed him a razor and told him to take it off on the spot.

btw, beautiful car i must say! Best of luck getting it here.

It is still a form of regency inspection, they just dont check engine numbers.

They will check for illegal mods, window tint, leaks around the engine, if it is too low.

So you will need the car to have a low mount turbo and if it is aftermarket you will need it to be heat shielded and not obviously aftermarket.

You just want have everything looking fairly stock and you should be fine to get through the inspection as they are just looking for blatantly obvious stuff.

Yep. I was very worried about the whole SR20 conversion.

However he said he has full certificates for the engine swap.

So much hassle getting a car I want. Will be worth it in the end, though.

Correct its a Tier 2 identity inspection (VIN & Eng No inspection) but,.............with obvious stand outs like protruding wheels, dark tint, cut front bar and possibly too low, (and who knows what it looks like under the hood) they may refer you for a Tier 3 identity inspection or worse still a Roadworthy inspection.

I understand with all the mods etc . Ive been to Regency before with previous cars.

What im trying to get to is if the obvious big engine mods pass with MOD plates and certificates that wouldnt pass without the mod plates and certificates.

the engine bay looks pretty extreme.

If the seller is that confident that it will pass Regency.......get hime to put something in writing and sign it so you can get your money back. Otherwise you may be left with a car thats only good for parts.

Sorry mate it wouldn't last 2 seconds anywhere near Regency, nor any cop. You would spend your whole life defected and end up selling the car dejected. The validity of engineering certificates is iffy too - depends what mood the inspector is in. IMHO you are asking for MAJOR trouble. Surely the aftermarket turbo and ECU can't be engineered, and cops here are now trained how to spot non-standard turbo setups etc etc. Don't even consider taking those wheels anywhere on SA roads - the offset is clearly crazy Jap style, and won't last even 2 seconds in front of any cop, let alone Regency.

Above and beyond everything else, why the hell would anyone put an SR20 in an R34? Shame, shame, blasphemy, shame :banana:

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
