Hi all,

I am thinking of buying a R32 GTR in the next few months from Perth. How tough is ACT rego? The car isn't a monster, stock turbos, big bore exhaust (not very loud), recaros and some N1 body bits. Anything I should ask the seller that I need to know in advance?

Cheers

MG

well im going through it at the moment for my Chaser and i have been told that my rear wheels are 10mm to far appart so i have to find some different wheels. you can pretty much get almost anything engineered like coilovers etc. if you go about it the right way and dont try and dodgy things it makes it much easier

for example: my car has coilovers and an exhaust. exhaust was too loud, there is a shop in belconnen that will take the end of the exhaust off and put in a little pee shooter which makes no noise what so ever. coilovers are a little more fidly, you will need to get an engineers certificate.

the closer you can get you car to stock the easier it will be

it may be hard to get past but i dont think one person on here wouldnt do it again.. i would be so worth it.. i should imagine

yeah, they wouldn't let me thru because the rolling diameter of the tyres that came with the car were 1cm too big. clearly though, my life was in peril and had they not found this out it could have resulted in a life threatening accident.

Sounds like an easy pass from what you have written. It does not need to go over the main pits, just a local shop. Make it look stock, exhaust is a dead giveaway.

dont take it to dickson, i got a place in gungahlin to transfer my rego over from QLD no dramas at all except i had to to go to the tip to get a weight ticket that was 20 bucks or something apart from that it was a very easy process for me, all i had was a cat back (quite loud) and a air pod , stock wheels and everything.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
