I'm doing the compliancing on my R32 myself before getting it checked by the engineer to get the personal imports plate.

I've read the DIY compliance thread, but since I actually owned my car overseas the conditions are a little different. The following was brought up during my conversation with one engineer :

1. Child restraint points, no problem can get this from supercheap or autopro

2. Drivers mirrors, someone said that this doesn't need to be changed. Mine looks quite flat, so how concave is concaved?

3. Fuel restrictor, someone said that a sticker will do, another said that it has to be done for a few dollars, which is it?

4. High rear brake lights, can do.

Things that the engineer didn't mentioned :

5. VIN plague, I can do this myself no problem.

6. Seat belts, mine are fine but do these need to be changed?

7. I have non-original wheels, do I need stickers for this and what do they look like?

Are there anything else that I need to do/change?

Thanks in advance. Was pretty happy to see the car after only a month but had something stolen from it unfortunately. :D

What state are you in? All you have to do with a personal import is ensure that the car meets the registration and roadworthy requirements of the state. So contact the RTA / etc for your state and ask.

You haven't mentioned side impact bars so I'm assuming it's a later model R32. If it's pre August 1991 you will need that done as well.

Hi,

I'm in Victoria and my car is a late 91 model (though how can I check that properly?).

I don't understand what is "Guided Mode".

Seat belts are fine.

they will have JIS markings on them (well, on a white tag sewn into the base or something like that).

Provided they lock (they do), they are ADR compliant.

You could check by pulling the trim off the doors and cheking for side intrusion bars.

or you could post your vin number into the appropriate thread (nissan software or something - the thread exists), and then post the reply back here (so I can see too.....)

So what do you need to register the car? I am presuming that you have all the appropriate import approval stuff...

How big / what are you "non original" wheels. if they are the same size as stock, I don't see a problem. If they are legal, I don't think there would be a problem. If they are 32' - I see a problem...

EDIT - Nissan FAST Software

My wheels are 17s, so no problems there.

Can anyone tell me where to get a fuel restrictor?  I heard that you can buy it off Mitsubishi for their Magnas.

Lemme know how you get on sourcing the bits and pieces Informer. I'm doing the same thing with an 89 gtr.

What did the shipping fairies appropriate from your car?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, I also meant to say that it is possible to use a venting BOV and restrict its outlet down so that it does vent enough to prevent the sututu, but vents slowly enough that the AFM doesn't see all the air at once and makes it easier to avoid stalling.

      I'll go talk to my bank manager. Either that or my nearest western Sydney drug baron.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
