Employ a good customs agent, they will handle all the import paper work from you. Prices range around $200ish.

Someone organised Seaway logistics, customs agent license number 1383 to contact me. Don't know if it was Jspec or JPV. anyway, I'll send them the import approval then, and I'll call J-Spec as soon as the office opens.

It wasn't anyones fault but my own, I didn't ask enough questions, and thought I knew more than I actually did.

J-spec have been awesome. I talked to Craig again and he has been a great help, Also Sam from Japanese performance vehicles helped me a lot.

What I should have done is tell Craig that I was a newbie and needed the steps outlined for me, instead what I did was make some assumptions, and if it wasn't for J-spec checking up on me, I could have been in the sh!t.

The car carrier docked today, so I'll be getting the call soon and it'll be at my door in a day or two. I feel like a kid just before christmas!

OK, so the car is in my driveway now, pretty excited. Had a couple of q's though:

The exhaust is cactus. The front pipe, and cat are pretty rough, though the underbody is fine. Does this indicate anything?

Also, for compliance, do I have to find a stock front pipe, or can I use a stainless front/dump pipe, such as the one in batmbl's group buy?

Should I get it complied with the rather well worn stock exhaust, or can I put on a new cat back for compliance? Do they do EPA and noise tests for compliance?

I'll post pics when I get the chance. I leave home in the dark, and I get home in the dark, so no photo opportunities yet.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
