Hi guys

Firstly this is in Melbourne.

I have a friend who is looking at buying a fairly modified r33 gtst s2 with around (supposedly) 280rwkw. The car is in excellent condition overall with no issues upon inspection.

The car has the following mods:

- fmic with hole cut

- forward facing plenum

- aftermarket low mount turbo

- 3 inch exhaust (not too loud but may be over legal)

- coilovers

+ more mods but these are the main ones.

The main issue is the seller doesn't want provide a rwc with the sale and would want to increase the price by around $1000 to provide one. His reasoning is that he reckons he will have to return most of the car to stock and doesnt want to go through the hassle.

Can a car with these mods get a roadworthy certificate, provided the car is clean, height is legal, no leaks, everything working as it should etc?

And does the hole cut out for the intercooler piping mean the car will never be roadworthy?

Thanks everyone

It will be very hard to get a rwc with those mods. The hole for the ic particularly (In Vic, an engineers certificate is required) , unless you know a mechanic who is lenient. I would either be paying the extra 1k to save myself the hassle or passing up on the car totally. If the car is real nice and you have to have it, just pay the extra $.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
