What DOTARS says goes. They're the authority responsible for this stuff, so if they say you can get compliance, you can get compliance. Keep a note of who you spoke to and the date just in case anyone contests what you're saying. I think the RAW's wont give you any trouble if you've got DOTARS behind you.

Just a side note, now that its going to be complied under SEVS, that means it has to come back to stock. Have you got much aftermarket gear on there?? Would be a pain to have to take whatever you've got off, but I suppose it wont matter - you'll be too happy that its even getting complied :(

Good luck again!

Very good, shouldnt be too hard at all! I dare say (and ppl correct me if i'm wrong) that *some* RAWS may overlook the injectors if they look stock and fuel pressure regulator too. Don't quote me though!

In any case, easy job.

Sorry for a bit of a thread hi-jack.. but..

I purchased a 1990 model Laurel uncomplied that came in under the 15 yr rule.. I have a copy of the approval and have checked its autheniticy with DOTARS. Am I going to need a deregistration certificate or the like as well?

Everything that dotars said is correct but one thing they missed is that you'll need the deregistration certificate from japan.

But i asked them that question: 'do i need dereg papers?' n they said no. I thinking that the dereg papers are a new thing?? Like since the introduction of the SEVS? n that came in 2003, and car was brought over in 2001?

(Getting more and more confused every minute)

every car that i have complied needed the de-reg. and that was under LVIS/CPA and 15yo. hell i needed the de-reg to even get the VIA under the 15yo rule as that is what shows date of first registration (to prove 15yo).

i needed dereg papers for my '89 gtst.

But does it not matter that my car was brought over amost 5 years ago?? I was thinkin maybe that the regulations were different back then, so the original buyer of the car from japan never requested them (dereg papers) because they werent needed back then? Apparently you didnt need them back then, now you do.

Ill be faxing a letter to DOTARS anyway, to get the original copy of the Import Approval and see where that gets me.

Thanks all.

mate it doesn't matter what we all say - dotars have the last say, and what they say goes.

for what it's worth, my dereg paper was this crummy third generation photocopy, i could barely read it. i don't even know how deeply the rta read it.

i am also of the opinion that dotars will probably be helpful in this case, if you just explain what's going on. be sure to keep us posted.

Well, good news all...the car is now in the process of getting the compliance work done. It has been a very long and stressful time, but it will be well worth the effort, everything back to stock wasnt so bad after all. So it shouldnt be too much longer before it hits the road!

Thanks for everyones help and info, much appreciated.

He's really happy with the work, good clean job and the fact it was completed relatively quickly without any fuss. Out of everyone I phoned to get quotes for both his 34 and my 32 this guy didn't try to sell the earth and gave us a price and was really helpful.

I just can't wait til i get my 32. Not long to go.

All the best.

Well, the final chapter to the story.

I picked up my car this morning, fitted with the Compliance Plate and all the stickers and everything...it all went well.

Sam at JPV sourced all of the paperwork that was needed to do the compliance, we did end up needing the Japanese Deregistration papers, but he sorted it all out.

Im so very excited, now all i have to do is get a RWC and reg. and my beast will be hittin da streetz...

Good luck to all that are/will be in the process of Compliance, and thanks for everyones help,

Mat.

P.S Cannot recommend more::>>> Japanese Performance Vehicles, Bayswater, Vic. Talk to Sam.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
