Back in September '08 my 32 was stolen, i have just bought her replacement.

i don't think it's set in yet, but it probably won't until she's registered and I'm driving it.

Its a 1998 R34 gt-t

- 18" RAYS G-Games 99B wheels.... staggered fitment

- Slotted RDA rotors + EBC Red Stuff pads

- Trust Power Extreme 2 Exhaust

- Trust Intake Pod

- Blitz Dual SBC

- Low King Springs

- 3 point Alarm & immobiliser

The only thing is, it's not registered in Victoria so I'll have to make an appointment to get it registered.

At Vicroads they will check the vin/eng numbers etc. but they will also be checking to make sure its been complied correctly and meets ADR's.

I'm just thinking will it pass with ebc, king springs and factory xneons... exhaust, wheels and airbox will be replaced with standard items.

Nice car mate, congrats. If it is still registered (interstate) you just have to go to Vicroads, make a Miscellaneous registration appointment . Get yourself a rwc here in vic, go to Vicroads on the day and then pay for a full year reg and new number plates. My cuz just did this with an Evo he bought from NSW. They just checked the rwc and made sure vin and engine matched on their computer, gave him new vic plates and off he went. It cost him like $650

wats the go with xenon lights being a issue?

if they factory you should be fine shouldnt you?

im thinking of getting xenon ligths for my 32 GTR

They are factory items but removed upon compliance. I believe the ADRs state that xenon systems must be self levelling and feature headlight washer jets

Congratulations on the purchase mate :-)

lol mine has Xenons factory and passed :) they dont move or anything tho so *shrug* no washer jets either. Howevvver...boost controllers are still illegal and wont pass inspection...so either remove it or hide it really, really, really well....

its funny that most BMW's these days have really blue xenon bright as lighting but are fine

lamborghini's are so low that they barely touch the ground and yet still road legal....

harley davidsons make so much noise yet our car exhaust can be defected for noise pollution...

sometimes i wonder

Auto headlight level adjustment = legal

From factory then they have special permit to be less than 100mm clearance

Bikes get defected too - u just dont hear about em

Slightly off topic...

I don't think all "legal" cars such as BMW, merc etc.. have xenons that are auto level adjustment - from personal experience most of them seem off focus and actually blind you. *shrugs*

Having Xenons on wet nights = Fail. Especially with the yellow street lights reflecting off the ground - The xenon lights just don't seem to work as effective. Pitch black country roads xenons are the best. Strictly speaking from experience here.

Thankyou to all the well wishers... can't wait to pick it up.

As for the xenons, is it a simple matter of just swapping out the globes for halogen ones???? I thought it would be more tricky than that, if thats the case then i can just swap them myself

And with the blitz dsbc, if i just remove the control unit in the cabin and leave the rest(i.e. solenoids) hooked up, what will happen?? is that likely pass?

also i won't to make an appointment asap so is there any vicroads branch i should avoid and any i should favour?

thanks guys.

I had mine complianced with factory xenons, I guess it depends where you go to how strict they are.

Then when I took it to VicRoads, they didn't bother checking the lights, just the VIN and Engine No and I was out of there in 10 mins :)

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
