Hi Everyone,

I know it’s a long shot on these old forums….. but I’m looking at applying for a historic rego this year & wondering if anyone has info on this topic, or maybe even first hand experience?

One hurdle would be belonging to a car club & I’m guessing that SA SAU is no longer operating. If not, what would be a good car club that is recognised by Service SA.

oh yeah it’s for a 1995 R33 GTR.

Cheers,

Lance

No first hand experience, but info on the scheme is available at https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/driving-and-transport/registration/conditional-registration/historic-left-hand-drive-and-street-rod-vehicles

A list of SA car clubs (appears to not be complete, and doesn't specify if they can do historic rego, but I can't do all the work for you): http://australiancar.reviews/clubs_sa.php

 

G’day,

Yes thank you for the links. I did manage to find that info before posting here, but I’m still after a little more in depth knowledge before I start blazing my own trail.

I would be interested if anyone is a member of one of the many car clubs in SA. If that car club is recognised by Service SA, if they can do historic rego checks, how much it costs to do both, the historic check, & be part of the car club & of course if the car club is inclusive of JDM cars & active.

Also if there are any other hurdles in the process that aren’t glaringly obvious, & what the saving is between normal rego & historic rego annual fees.

I know I can just start randomly dialling car clubs & emailing Service SA, but thought I’d ask SAU SA for assistance first, to try & get a head start.

Much appreciated,

Lance.

    • 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?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
