Hi All,

Has anyone got an R33 GTSt airbox I can borrow / rent / buy?

Ive got Stagea series 1 (1997) with pod filter, and need the identity inspection done. I only wish to borrow or rent it for 1 week max.

Havent got a problem with buying one if need be.

Just want to bolt the airbox in, go down have the ID report performed (at Sturt Rd) and then give back the airbox with a 'donation' of your choosing!

Hi all,

Well, had the identity inspection done, all is ok!

Luckily I was offered an R33 airbox to buy or borrow (thanks to undapsi, 4door_sleeper and nozila), so I bought one and whacked it on the car. Just before I got to the Sturt Rd premises I pulled over and uninstalled the turbosmart boost controller and took it back to standard (doenst work properly tho - boost spiked past 1bar!!! Goddamn!).

Well, they were trying to be real strict at the ID inspection. Being a Stagea, they have real dark factory standard side and rear windows, and they were trying to pick me up on that. I calmly pointed out it is adr approved and imported and complied that way, and showed them a dozen pictures of australian registered Stageas with the dark windows (keep the pics in the car in case I get pulled over and defected). They said the windows were ridicously dark, and made a phone call to confirm if they were legal or not. I guess I came out on top.

Was picked on about the boost gauge and told its illegal, but I mentioned that Id taken it off the top of the dash (and placed next to the rpm gauge), installed the original airbox and taken off the turbo timer and boost controller. I simply stated that Im trying to do the right thing, and if they so wished then I could arrange for the boost guage to be uninstalled. They were happy with that, and signed the forms. It helps when you're an imposing 2metres plus tall and built like a brick shithouse!!!!

So now the Stagea is all approved. This weekend the full 3inch exhaust dump and cat get put on, along with a new O2 sensor, the old pod filter and the old boost controller. More mods and a dyno in 2 weeks time.

So I guess you've got to show them that you're doing the right thing by having the car as stock as possible, and you should be allright (unless you've been sent to Regency). Good luck to you all!

Brendan

Your lucky you didnt have to touch the tinted windows.

At regency, you cant have any front (drivers + passengers windows) tint. They made me strip it off.

With this in mind, there is double standards our there on the road, when factory cars come out with tint on these windows and window tint shops tint these windows as a standard job.... stupid gov. rules... make your mind up politicians!

Hi Mate, good point, but need to say that the standard Stagea doesnt have front window tint (tint to the front driver and passenger side windows is illegal as you say - pity so many new cars or used cars sold at caryards have tint installed! instant defect, but of course they are nver pulled over, just import car drivers......).

The Stageas come with very dark factroy windows to the rear passengers, the rear side wagon windows and the rear viewing window. Its not tinted, just very dark glass. It is adr approved, and complied that way. Still, the fella still scratched his head and was wondering whether it was defectable or not (in his defence there are afterall only 6 Stageas in Adelaide so he hadnt come across one before). Lucky Im keeping a heap of Stagea photos in my car showing how every standard aussie registered Stagea has such dark windows...

Cheers to you All!!! Brendan :(

so can anyone confirm the requirements for living "down south"? are they going to ask for some kind of proof of residence, i.e. a bill with your address of some kind from victor harbor etc??

also what will they test at sturt versus regency.... and will they recognise a car that is already rego'd in NSW i.e. not a defected car....

I have a few things done to my car, and would hope to get it through easily.... I would just like to know what is seen as a no no these days...

Nah you just gotta ring up and find out when they are open, they only open certain days, and they shouldn't ask for any id, and i don't even think you have to book, just have the required paperwork. they don't check over it anywhere as near as much as regency, just go over the registration stuff, but i do recomend you do have good tyres and remove any obvious stuff.

i dont know about paper work for interstate cars as ive never bought one from interstate before but in terms of your cars modifications and appearace, i would try to make it look as stock as possible. since yours has ap racing brakes, sounds failry modded. although i have a friend who bought his car in a modded condition and got it registered and all the necessary paperwork done in whyalla (i think). give ice_duck a pm as he was the guy im referring to.

I'd say the brakes will be fin, but i'd suggest swapping/borrowing the tyres/rims. As for the paperwork, just ring up and ask them, or drop into a Department of Transport and i'm sure they will help you out. As for the other mods, just try and hide them, they don't look too closely at the Sturts office.

the tyres are DOT approved and also the rims are placarded on the inner door....

DOT is the American standard, so they dont have to accept it. You may be better getting in contact with someone who sells your tyres and ask for parerwork etc to show they are legal.

I dont think brakes will be an issue, but ensure your rims are legal (you suggested they were) and you should be fine.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.

      If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
