Hey Guys,

I'm looking @ getting a car that has just been bought into the country. It's been complied and all just awaiting registration.

What im after is what the process from here is?

From what i know, it requires a Victorian RWC. Then I'd book an appointment @ vicroads get all the checks done. Supply the compliance papers and then its registered?

Just want to know is there anything im missing, anything i should watch out for? Don't really want to get stooged with this.

Cheers

That's all from memory...Just make sure you have all the papers, and all the dates/engine numbers etc on the RWC are accurate....Nothing worse than waiting 4 months for your car to be imported/complied then to be knocked back at VicRoads because the tool that did your RWC left the 'RB' off the engine number...

Yeh, you have to make an appointment at vicroads. Make sure you bring in the import papers, RAWS documents, compliance papers, Proof of ownership(receipt to say where or who you got the car from) RWC and also make sure when they did your compliance they stamped the VIN number supplied to you on the car. Generally done on one of the strut towers.

Cheers for that..

Since the car is in Australia & compliance is already done. There shouldn't be too much for me to worry about.

From the list i've just thrown up..

- Victorian RWC

- Book appointment @ Vicroads

- Make sure compliance plates & vin is stamped on the car.

- Bring import papers, raws papers, compliance papers

- Proof of ownership so like a reciept or something

- Take to vicroads, go through appointment. Pay stupid amounts of money to get it regoed.

sounds about right.

bought mine thru an import dealer so they did that all for me.

Asked me to sign an authorisation form with my details and a copy of my drivers licence attached.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
