you cant get a real 33 GTR for 14k for that it will have to be a 32 that's probably ~20 years old and needs lots of parts replaced.

If you do your homework you'll find a well maintained GTR for a good price. They're more reliable than people give them credit for I reckon. I've seen R33 GTRs for $18k at dealers! Mind you it was a short term thing to get rid of stock and they all sold but there are bargains out there if you can stretch it a little.

Good luck either way, the GTST looks quite nice. :(

From what i remember, the QLD mod plate is basically their version of a compliance plate. But if the mod plate says a certain size wheel on it and it happens to be the wheels on the car, I do believe it means the car was complied with them on it. Dont listen to anyone who says the modplate means nothing, without it you car CANT be registered as technically it hasnt been complied.

Also if the car is registered, you dont have to take it over the pits, as i do believe you dont have to get an ID check done as it is older then 15 years. But personally I would get a engineers cert as either you will have to get one if u get defected later down the track or get one now. It would probably be cheaper to remove all the mods in the car just to clear the defect or register it. You also get peice of mind aswell when driving into a road side vehicle checking station.

the mod plate isn't the compliance plate, it's like an engineer's cert. constantly stamped to your car under the bonnet from what i've gathered. Having said that, Dickson told me it's more or less meaningless to them, I'd more than likely need an engineers cert anyway. So I'm gonna end up taking it to Ray once I get it anyway, like you said, it will be worth it down the road when I hit a random inspection.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
