how much would it cost for the car to get shipped to me in syd and get it complianced with all that necessary things done? who would be able to do it for me (cheapest person possible).

what needs to be changed once the car gets here? seat belts? parts? tyres? etc etc etc.. is the car allowed to have any mods? bigger turbos, coolers, exhaust, kit, bigger wheels etc???

one more question - what if the r32 i import over has a rb25det in it? would it be eligible for importation?

Thanks.

There are a number of compliance workshops in Sydney, I suggest ringing around.

Coming in under SEVS, the car will require the usual work including new tyres, seat belts, side intrusion bars etc etc.

what if the r32 i import over has a rb25det in it? would it be eligible for importation?

Under the old 15 year rule this would have been possible, but not under SEVS.

damn..

what about mods done to the rb20 such as exhaust, filter bov, the usual bolt on stuff ?

would internals matter such as cams, injectors and pump?

or does it have to be completely bone stock?

Technically, the car has to be completely stock during compliance.

whyte, there is an importing FAQ stickied at the top of this section, give it a read as it has links to the relevant pages at DOTARS, that way you can get the info from the horses mouth, if you still have more questions by all means post them up, but a quick search through this subforum will give you all you need to know.

Why you would import an R32 you cant see is beyond me. For the same price or less you can have a car already here that you can inspect and test drive and that you dont have to pull everything off of to get complied.

thats the reason why i was asking. to see if it was cheaper to buy here or import one from jap. if i was to import one, i wanted to know if i will be allowed to keep the mods on or not.

sorry mate, not everyone can afford a R34 GTR like you *bows*

I think you may have misunderstood me. I wasn't saying YOU specifically are dumb for importing one. I'm saying that in general the market for R32's is pretty good over here with plenty of local cars to choose from in a wide variety with regards to 2 door, 4 door, 4wd, turbo, etc etc.

Importing one you will have a hard time finding a good one under 10-12 grand all said and on the road. You would easily find a registered one going over here under that.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
