I have done all the work my self appart from the inturstion bars as it requires some skill full welding. there isnt much to be done to GTRs only really 4 major things, intrustion bars/ stop light/ child restraints/and the engineer cert

every thing else is just normal RTA stuff.. I am only waiting on Skyline Performance to weld the bars for me, they are pretty busy...

I am pretty sure that you don't require an Engineers certificate to register the car. I have spoken to the motor registry and they indicated that to register car all that was necessary is a regular car registration inspection.

I would imagine that they would check then for side intrusion bars, stop lights and child restrainsts?

Sorry but that is incorrect... to check for side intrusion bars you would haver to remove the door skins and the RTA will NOT do this during an inspection they will turna round and say " can I have the engineer cert pls?" or something to those means.. you require a cert and the compliance spec as to the 15Yr rule standards. Guys as much as this sux you best off just doing it. Call John Wilson from AKZ Engineering he is the most help full and cheepest I found, Give him a call and say I refured you. I will post his contact number shortly...

Jap Manufacturer's started installing side intrustion bars in LATE 89' as the standard changed in 1990, most all cars you import from 1990 on WILL have them fitted as standard. but pre 1990 ie 89' only limmited few had them, mine - did not- it sux and is likely to cost $450 installed if I remove and strip the doors, which I have already done. There is nothing more tomrnting than having to pull appart you brand new baby. BUT the sooner it is done the sooner it will be registered and I can drive it (with out being dodgy :rofl: ).

John Wilson did my car. He is a top bloke and will give ya a discount if u mention how poor you are. (He takes pity on young blokes with awesome cars trying to get over rego) Is getting a GTR himself (He also owns two 20B cosmo's. He's the best engineer around and does a top job. Also he is one of the only other members of the public to have a set of keys to the old drag strip!

Godzillr - what did he have to do to it? did it have a cat for the exhaust (factory system?) did it have child restraints in the back? When i spoke to them all they said was i needed 2 x 200mmx200mm plates (with a both through the centre) and the cat. if it passed a normal roadworthy, it would then be regoed. no engineers cert required.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
