measure them, unless they are 296 x 32mm then they aren't GTR. R33 GTS-t's are the same diameter but 30mm. The regency inspectors will know the difference.

Oh and by the way the quote for the engineers report mentioned in that statement was $2500

Whats the go with buying an interstate vehicle and registering it in SA these days - Vin/Engine number check and a quick look for visible defects or a complete full top down inspection as if it was a defect?

wow - a massive eucalypt branch came down a metre away from me.

about to pop the bonnet, instead sat in the car while the tonne branch came down on top of the bonnet

argh - dent on drivers side front guard, however the fake carbon stripe took it pretty well, only cple scratches

but grrrr dent. double grrr. nice 'n deep

:D

wait a minute, why did he sell for $6500 when the conversion just cost him $11000?

wife said, with 11month old in tow, 'that car must go'

he obeyed. I bought. my missus is still angry. she clapped the tree :D

If she makes you sell it I may be interested in buying it :D

yeah its a top car; will keep that in mind.

damned tree tho. seriously, how unlucky is that. massive branch.....

i know of someone that did a neo conversion into a 32 GTST and they made them put neo brakes on the car.

Don't be surprised if you have to do a brake upgrade to have it road registered.

just ask for a statement of requirements and that will list everything needed.

You will need GTR brakes as a minimum.

Yep, I just got this letter for my RB25>R32

It has 17 conditions on it, but the main ones are it has to be stock, have 296x30 front brakes and have an emmissions test.

AWD can be fun but RWD is where it's at!

I can run my car in both and 4WD is a f*kton better than RWD. RWD = wheel spin/limiter bashing at full boost in 1st & 2nd which = slow and gay, 4WD = over 300kw of traction and that throws you back in the seat like a mofo :) No way in hell i would ever trade mine for a 300kw GTST.

Should just need a brake upgrade and emisions test to pass regency, no engineers needed! I know cos i have actually had my car passed through regency with a 26 conversion.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
