the r32s have been legal here for awhile,the r33 gtst's just became legal this year,we have a 15 year importation rule

so the car has to be 15 years or older to import it into canada

the r34 is actually a r32gtr with extensive bodywork done using actual r34 body panels

not something like the beer34 kit,he put alot of time into that to do it properly and it looks great

all the panels/hood etc line up nicely no horrible gaps etc

http://forums.gtrcanada.com/showthread.php?t=28853 this is his build thread,i believe he has one on here too

We have a 15 year rule too,

But not so much you have to wait 15 years before you can import the car...

Basically any car that is 15 + years old, you have to comply with a few things at the same time you can get away with a few things.

R32 GTR with R34 GTR body kit... Yeah I would not do it... Maybe goes as far as the Bee*R R34 kit and that's it.

But a Great amount of effort would have been put in for sure, on that R32 GTR.

A SAU member did a R33 GTR into a R34 GTR, looks perfect as it tricked me for a bit till I looked carefully at the rear quarter window.

I've done the Vancouver/Banff-Calgary/Edmonton triangle a couple of times now and it's so spectacular scenery there!

Still got rellies in N Burnaby & Calgary

Did you notice that the parking bays are much wider there?

And the owner of the R34 imitation has Bakes' NSW Number Plate.

      Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.
