Imports Through Dickson


Recommended Posts

they keep changing there minds with my car, ive had 3 phone calls in the last 2 days. Its never been registered in Australia so at first they said i needed an ID so i go from tuggers to dickson, dickson tell me i need a roadworthy so i head to mitchell, mitchell says i need an ID so back to dickson, dickson agrees with that this time so i book in for Thursday. Dickson calls and says only RWC needed, calls again and asks some questions and decides ID needed, calls again this morning and says RWC only. I just want my goddam car to be driving on the freaking roads damit!

Sounds alot like me, only i still had Vic rego on it.

Get an ID, then get a RWC - stop listening to them, it will only make your head hurt.

They don't even know the rules, if you can research them yourself, you'll be better off.

i thought dickson do RWC's :)

i found this to be a problem too, but not to that extent. its annoying when you hear a thousand different things of how to get your car road worthy and registered and your common sence tells you "ask dickson motor registry themselves, they should know, after all, its there job." so you do, and you then get another thousand different answers.

feeling like a ping-pong ball, going back and forth with different info each time, isnt fun :)

I am bit scared now Nugget lol. I was going to get it imported and regoed straight here but have now changed it to get complied and regoed in NSW then all I have to do is bring it over Dickson by way of state transfer on the rego but sounds like that is going to be such a hassle too :(

Would you mind please sending me a PM on the company that did your NSW work just so that you don't see a post up here in a month or so saying a story like yours?

i will look at the papers tonight and pm you, not sure off the top of my head that all

I called the mitchell RWC place again because he seemed to understand more then Dickson and he said just do what dickson says but if they screw it up blame it on them and they should fix it up on the spot.

Ive got the names of the 2 people from dickson who told me different answers so ill let them sort it out

Just because they are at fault doesn't mean you will be out of the woods.

Dickson is useless.

My Advice, move to queanbeyan - at least in NSW they are consistently useless.

Have to count myself lucky I suppose, considering what was done to my car,I was only failed once and fixed the issues they highlighted. :P Just transferred rego to ACT today

bloody hell.... failed because my wheels were 12mm larger then spec and i didnt have a tare weight of vehicle.

Wheels are my fault, it slipped my mind that id need the stock wheels for first time rego... Basically ive got 2 choices, drive to melbourne or get the stock wheels deleivered to home (shitloads of money) or get an engineers report ($300).

Ohwell i had fun driving my car around, guess it goes back under cover for another week or 2 till i get everything sorted. Already used 2 of the 3 day registrations your allowed so this is gonna be fun.

**EDIT**

Does anyone have 4 stock r33 wheels with enough tread to pass rego, will pay to borrow them for an hour or 2

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
