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.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
