just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, just recently purchased my first skyline, its a 2000 model r34 gt-t, i bought it from powerplay imports in sydney and must say they were fantastic people to deal with, after 18mths or so of saving up its great to finally realise my dream, ive posted a few photos of my car and look forward to hopefully meeting a few of you on various cruises over the summer!

thanks for all the kind words guys, one quick question, i bought the car unregistered and it is currently on an unregistered vehicle permit which runs out tomorrow, i know when changing all cars from one state rego to another it has to go through regency and the car does have a few defectable items on it (turbo timers, pedals etc) would it be in my best interests to replace/remove these items or just leave them on when they go through the process of checking the engines numbers and what else they do exactly?

hahhaha, thats a big question, check out the sticky thread Regency Experiences.

In short, take off what you can (hide turbo timer, take off pedals etc) and go to Sturt Rd RTA. Much nicer to deal with, and more relaxed, than Regency.

They'll just want to determine VIN engine numbers etc, but have power to defect if they see fit. Regency will bend you over a barrel if they can....

wheels look fine shouldnt have to bother with those, just call up and check how wide your wheels can be that would be the only issue, ride height looks fine, if slightly larger probably worth changing but i got my old car through with 16x8 when 7 was the max legal width, all depends on if you get someone who likes your car theyll let it slip, change all mods tho as they will rip you a new a#$hole if they spot those and wont see you driving around for ages

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
