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,

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
