The biggest issue i've been told that i will have with licencing this R32 is having an engine swap and v-mount cooler.

Anyone been through something similar? Offer me any info?

**Edit - Compliance and Engineers signoff done!!! This should mean no dramas about the 2 issues mentioned above from the pits.

Just a little update...if anyone cares.

Engineers certificate a.o.k!

Went to the pits last monday and i think i got off quite lightly!

The bonnet is raised slightly, needs to be level with side pans, vents/pin holes need to be covered up.

I have to take the mech diff out...i thought i might be lucky and it wouldnt clunk when he test drove it, i was wrong :P

And I have to remove the hicas lock bar.

Almost licenced this baby! yay!

hmm.. i have a hicas lock bar and a raised bonnet too... i also have bonnet pins..

you had to change all that just for complience on an 89 model car?????

my car is currently being complied... like always i expoect the invoice to be much more then the quote i was givin :P

they are lot stricter over there, it has to go through a full inspection at the transport place before it can hit the road..

here they barely even look under the bonnet.

Compliance is all done. it wasnt done by a workshop, rather a highly recommended gent. I paid for the major stuff that i couldnt do (side intrusion bars, fuel neck restrictor, engineers signoff, child restraints etc) and chose to do the rest of the work myself.

good to see you got it all signed off!

when does it go to pits now?

good luck with it all

cheers

*takes a deep breath*

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
