hi d3_L3ThAL,

i won't be selling the car with a RWC.. as for things it will need to pass one i have found that the front discs may need replacing although the brakes themselves work fine.. pads have plenty of meat on them. front struts are a bit 'spongy'.. not sure if they will be required or not. rear struts are very good and seem like they have been replaced. all the lights, wipers and all those functions work properly. there is some rust on the botton of the right rear guard, but im not sure if that is an issue with a RWC. the engine runs well and the whole driveline has no faults.

i hope that answers your question.

      Yeah was gonna say as it wouldn't line up correctly, I imagine if they put the wheel that way it would mess with the wheel alignment.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)

      It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
