Re- registering a Stolen and recovered vehicle

Hello guys I have just purchased a r33 gtr

From pickles auction , it had a clear title although

Has had the vin numbers scratched off and compliance plate broken off

I have the original vin numbers and compliance details

Been on the phone with the rta and was told to get a blue slip

Have it failed then request a inspection by the rta to identify the vehcle

Inspection is next Monday just wondering if any body else has done the Same thing? Body is straight although looks like there has been some engine upgrades

Hard to take it back to full stock as gtr parts are quiet expensive

Yep that's the one , drives well though

No evidence of fire just vin been gridded off

Mods that I can see

Adaptronic mapped ecu

Larger twin turbos garret not sure what though

Hks waste gates

Front mount intercooler

Some sort of cams upgrades ( from the idle sound )

Denso injectors looks like 660 cc

Turbo back exhaust 4 inch

Aftermarket manifolds and dump

Greedy prospec 2 boost controller

Body seems to be in good condition for a stolen recovered vehicle

Looks like a recent re spray pearl white

Engine looks like its had a recent rebuilt aswel , judging by the turbo and other seals

It would of defiantly taken a beating but I'm surprised it wasn't stripped before it was recovered , at least the ecu and electronics

HA HA good luck getting that past the RTA, Blue slip they will fail that on so many lvls. Everything needs to be dead stock unless you have a mate doing the blue slip. Prepare to be raped. Might pay to take your own lube.

Serious? Not too hard to put that back to factory at all.....

I want to keep it to be honest , I don't think it would drop much I mean you would be surprised how many cars have

Been smashed and had dodgy repairs out there going for 20+

This ones is actually in good shape

Body and engine wise looks like somebody has spend some $$$ on it

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
