When I was looking for an FD there nobody was complying them in Vic. You had to go to QLD or NSW for compliance. Don't know if that's changed recently, so I bought a 34 GT-T instead (still in Japan.)

So yeah, if you want to import one you might need to get it complied interstate. Too much of a hassle.

Edit:

Yup, that's still the case.

Just checked the RAWS site.

Compliance available in NSW and WA only.

Do note that even if they do compliance work for free, it will take a gd month or two, as paper work will take ages.

Then an engineer as to inspect each modifications done for it to meet the standards. Then the paper work will be sent out backwards and forwards.

So if you are willing to wait that long then go ahead. Just something to think about i guess..

^^ this is because they have never done it before. So it would take a lot longer than normal skylines etc etc.

Also now looking after one is going to be much more expensive than a 34.

So why dont you see to many around?? well price firstly!! secondly parts are not cheap!!!

you are still in school dude.. Are you sure you will be able to afford it.

Not questioning your money status here. Just saying, after finishing school, some of your interests will change. You might go on holidays..

Actually i will stop here and let you think about it a bit more.

Dont jump and buy out a 50k car!!

all the best.

if its gonna take that long i proberly wont even bother , atm i just want my car back. i cant really think of any cars apart froma 34 or a FD....everyone seems to tell me its gonna be real hard to maintain a FD....which kinda makes me want to own one even more. my whole life ive wanted things that no one has...i guess its just gotten even bigger.

thinking about it logically a 34 is already good enough....so i might just stay with it.

Edit: Get off your red p's before you buy another 'Fast' car..

N get some driving experience...

Im not saying that we all are perfect.

Im saying get off your Red ps atleast.. that is all..

gdluck

its gonna take me 3 years to get off my Ps mate....i cant wait that long lol

mates keep telling me to go to some advance driving courses...but i dunno.....i guess its fun and all but i just never get around to makn the arrangements.

YE GTA in the city spencer st sells rx7 but be cerful when doing buissines with them..

Hrmmm...havnt herd of em but thanks for the heads up, although i think ill stick with a 34 for now.....

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
