I will be looking to get the Laurel complied very shortly, and have a few questions.

Where abouts on the Gold Coast would be a good place to go, and what money would they charge to comply a C33?

What parts would i need to do it myslef and how much would it cost me then to get it checked over and marked off as complied?

The car came in under the old 15 Year rule, will thinks like 8 Point Cage, Bride Seat, etc.... have to come out for compliance?

The car has an RB25 with usual mods, will the engine have to be mod plated to be complied? or does that only apply once i am trying to get rwc?

Thanks in Advance

Mark, Registering it as a 2 Seater does not bother me in the slightlest, that was the plan.

I know I could just get the Cage, Seat etc. Mod Plated although my reasoning for this question is for the fact that I will be complying it although not registering it straight away (unless you wanna lend me $1000 :lol: )

So as I said due to Mod Plates not being done until after compliance when i am getting a RWC for rego, will I have to take those things out to comply it?

Any help on any of the questions will be great.

Thanks Mark, Speak to you soon champ.

You won't need to remove those items to have the vehicle complied.........however all of the things you mentioned will require a Mod plate.......this will entail the vehicle being checked over by an authorised engineer to ensure that the abovementioned modifications have been carried out in a safe manner.

Compliance for a 4 door vehicle (such as a laurel) will cost you about $1500 to have it done RIGHT..........There are plenty of people out there that will do it for less.....some of which have previously retained the japanese seatbelts etc. (i assume they fit new ones and swap them back after engineer has signed it off)

I am a big believer in "DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME" as i will cost you alot more if you are dragged over "pits" at bundall and it is noticed your compliance is not up to scratch.......it will come back on YOU. (The engineer will simply say that it was right when he saw it)

Thanks Nico and Mark all this is a huge help!

Ok, so If i only want to get it complied at first I can drive it in with Cage, Seat, etc. and just pick it up when they are done, none of it has to come out? But when I want to register it I will then have to go and get a mod plate for cage, seat etc....

Is that right?

If so, Nico can you recommend anywhere on the coast to do compliance? And when you say $1500 is that drive in-drive out and does that price include or not include tyres?

Thanks again for your help.

Mark, the car gets here Tommorow, come down to Banzai Saturday arvie to have a gander :lol:

Hey Mate,

I can personally voutch for Innovative Auto Design in Spring Wood. The man to deal with is Dave he's an absolute champion. The turn around on my two vehicles was within 5 working days. Price was extremely resonable at $1300, cash, including the sign off. If anyone talks to him drop that andrew, from kudos or with the white ceffy, sent you.

I hope that helps,

Andrew

Rubber is not part of "15yr" compliance, although depending on condition it may be required for your RWC.

I hope that helps,

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.

      Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.

      About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
