Hi guys, after what seemed like forever, my 370gt is finally arriving from Victoria this week! I will need to register it in WA asap and was wondering if anyone has got away with passing the pits with factory HID still installed? Is the light obviously a different colour or is it a subtle difference only? If possible i would like to avoid the rigmarole of swapping over twice. Its the stupidest ADR! Any advice appreciated. thanks

Nice one, Tom. Is it still blue? :)

If you need help with HID's, a member on here from WA is an expert on those things. His username is DRIFT or something. I forgot his name. He's a friend of a friend who did my bodykit for and had chatted with him before regarding HID's.

I can ask for his number or something through Facebook. If you want, let me know.

Good luck.

As soon as it turns on it dims and then Goes brighter, easiest tell for hid.. um depends who u go to for compliance. Maybe put standard bulbs on for it and then swap them out

it needs to be wired up differently though right? if it was just a 10 min job i wouldnt mind but im kind of time poor at the moment so DIY wiring is probably not an option.

Thanks for the replys. I might wing it to start with and if gets rejected i'll go for plan B. Im pretty sure you get 2 goes at the examination for the initial price.. I heard that you can get the cars inspected at various garages these days too?? Anyone know where? I bet they must be much more easy going then those losers at the licencing centres.

Who ever complied the car should have removed the HIDs. This would of made it easier to get registered in your state. When mine was complied I just asked for my HIDs back and after the car was registered I put them back in.

Andrew, V36 HIDs are auto leveling but they don't have the washers which what's required to meet the latest ADR,

The cars registered in VIC. They passed it over there only a few months back but im pretty sure its less strict there. I'll let you know how i go in the inspection tomorrow. All this because a little bug got squashed on a headlight. :merli:

Ah, so the car is already registered. When it was complied it would have had the HIDs removed then, once it was registered the previous owner would have refitted them. Compliance requirements are nation wide, HIDs are removed if they don't meet ADRs.

It wasnt done at comliance and it passed in VIC. AND good news!! It passed here too..

Word of advice. Take your cars to private garages for inspections, not licencing centres. The owner was a young, easy going guy.

Im happy as larry :)

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.

      R34 GT > GTT compatibilities

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...

      Rear hub bolt torque r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
