Hi All,

I am building a R32 89 model (see Evs R32 thread)and am wondering if it will be eligible for Club Permit plates under the 25 year rule, either this year or next? If you are a member of SAU vic (I applied last week) can the club permit be obtained through them?

With the exception of the cage the car will have no issue with RWC as it is largely stock and quite and all the ADR gear works.

Cheers

Ev

When I went to school, 1989 + 25 was 2014. So, the car will not be eligible this year (2012) or next year (2013), but may be eligible in 2015, which will entitle you to drive the car on 45 or 90 days per year, as recorded in a logbook. If SAU has not become a signatory to the scheme, NDSOC is already a signatory, but you will need to maintain your NDSOC club membership, and you will be required to attend at least 6 club events each year (not necessarily with the car).

2014 mate :thumbsup:

Still a while to go get before thier 25th.

Plan when I was on Committee was always to look at club rego as part of 89 GTRs, going by Johns comment - looks like it's still on the agenda which is great :)

We are not registered with Vicroads. We are looking into it at the moment though.

Im surprised that SAU still havent got this. I understand its not a overnight process and takes time but even mr2 club offer club permits and these guys are nowhere near as big as SAU.

But im sure you guys will organise this ASAP....as long as its done in next 3 years im sweet. (my car will be eligible in 3 years hehe)

this is something we are looking at,

Do remember however the conditions of rego are actually stricter than fro road cars.

IE you have to apply for a permit every year and provide a RWC to get that.

you can still be defects epa'ed and similar with this

So this is not a way to go sick with mods and think there no concerns.

I thought that post 89 Skylines would not be allowed to receive classic club reg through 25 year old type plates.

Unsure if I read that on the Vicroads site and it was a few years ago. Quite possibly I'm wrong as these rules always change with time.

The rumour around from a few places was that VicRoads were going to make it 30 years. Nothing more was said on that topic though and it goes back about 12-18months.

So it'd probably have a transition "year" of '87 or something. Given nothing more has been published or anything one can only hope they realised it was a dumb idea from the start.

I know of 2 people who have club reg, no rwc required, they have to document there car send the application to the club official (including pictures) who handles that stuff he will then decide if its possible, if it is he comes out and inspects the car, gives a yay or nay, if yay paper work gets sent to vic roads.

One of them has a KE70 with a motor that never came out in that car of with a turbo which it now has, perspex side and rear window, 6 point cage, no interior, commodore locked diff, every supension piece upgraded with adjustable items and fiberglass front panels, no rwc required, he has been defected tho, too loud and a vented catch can, fixed those and got them cleared at vic roads.

That being said if you want club reg and intend to do stupid shit then its not just the cops you have to look out for, apparently if too many cars get into shit that are registered through that club vic roads will take them off the list and therefore cancel every ones rego through that club so clubs dont allow any bullshit and can and do cancel members club reg if they bring unwanted attention to the club.

So this is correct.

you either need a RWC or a specified club official has to state your car is safe and roadworthy.

so yeah if we say yes to every-one and defects start coming in. we loose the rights and members loose rego.

So atm we are waiting on the full specs from vicroads, to work out how we are doing this.

Tony is leading the charge on this as he loves paperwork ;)

we are hoping to get this but yes if members abuse this then other members will be very unhappy..so not just for us racers to keep rego ;)

I read through the available info on Vicroads website and there aren't vehicle specific caveats for the 25 year rule.

My car will have a quite exhaust and no anodised bling....can't go wrong really???haha!

Time to re-start this thread from over a year ago. Is the skyline club going to offer CLUB REGO Plates next year for owners of the 1989 R32 GTR? I am keen to see this club do it, but will switch over to the Datsun club if nothing is going to happen.

do any of the admin guys of the club have an update?

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
