Sorry, I should have been more specific. Was it in a car yard in Japan (that J-Spec contacted), or did J-Spec bid on it for you at auction in Japan?

Cheers :w00t:

It was with a dealer/caryard

A few days earlier I payed 390,000 FOB for a series 1 98 dayz model with 109k's from auction

wow thats incredible - less than 12.5k landed and complied... that devalues mine a lil bit then ey. Its done more than 3x the distance mine had, though, i guess.

Oh and it has the DAYZ kit... ive noticed that the grey ones are generally a lil bit cheaper, theres a lot more of them.

How would it go being complianced though, having had a manual conversion, big wheels, exhaust and suspension? what do you have to do with that?

most things have to be put back to standard....mine is just a dayz 97 model which had wheels and sports suspension and i had to get standard rims and i had to borrow stock suspension off another stagea driver to get it over compliance! (which is still going..2 and half weeks later) I think it also really depends on your compliance place, but majority of them return the car to 'stock' :P

So what they have to put an auto back into it????

hmm i dont see the point of buying a "race import only" stagea if that is the case. says 12,100 landed and complied... how accurate is that, then?

Sounds like buying a modified car can be more trouble than its worth, even one as cheap as this. May be that is why its cheap. hassle-tax.

i would have no idea about the manual..hopefully they would let that through :

as for the 12,100 landed and complied i dont think that would be too close to the mark...cause that is just standard compliance that doesnt take into account taking parts off getting standard parts fitting those and then putting the others back one...hopefully the compliance shop wouldnt take advantage and charge a fortune...

i tell you mine was 10600 landed and complied and i am going to hit about 13k so it was a little off the mark for mine too, but that is because of my extras that had to be taken off and put back on and find stock parts etc!

The shop doing my compliance has stock parts in the shop ie shocks, wheels, exhaust

Only charges $50/hr to remove and replace if needed, so maybe 2-4 hrs if needed

Also, what does the WA shop charge for compliance out of interest?

I was quoted $13,800 landed and complied

Will be $13,450 landed and complied

yeah darrin if i did go to brisbane i think i wouldnt have had much dramas as bretts (MrGTST) seemed to have no problems and was pretty much what we were told.

WA is more expensive than brissie...but with all of the extras they are charging i think i will be the 5k mark just to get the bloody thing complied! The only reason why it came to wa is because it was suppose to be here 3 weeks before bretts was....and brett got his yesterday :P I think mine will be able 13k on the road ready to go

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
