Would something with modifications pictured below be eligible to come through SEV's?

The simple answer is NO because it's not totally standard - the current laws are that all cars must be completely stock for SEVS compliance, however in reality you should be able to import anything as long as it can be returned to standard without any signs that it was ever modified (eg. no holes cut for intercooler piping, etc.)

If you do import a modified car then you would either have to swap it back to standard yourself or make some arrangements with the compliance workshop for them to do it for you, most workshops will charge extra for the work involved unless it's only very simple and common mods like exhaust and allow wheels.

Obviously some care would be needed when buying cars with this level of modifications to make sure it's only mods that can be removed without leaving any damage on the car, so just make sure the car is checked very well and also make sure you get approval from the compliance workshop before buying, this will reduce the chances that it could be rejected once it arrives.

Thank you Craig,

This is Jarryd who rang about the GX71 last week, looks like it won't be happening as my mate was wanting to road register the vehicle but long nose conversion breaches at least 4 ADR's :ninja: Very grateful for your efforts and may still get back to you soon regarding another car on Don's Gallery

Does anyone know who has a compliance pack for the JZX81?

Yes they are... as a 'purple plate' import under SEVS

There is apparently a company with a compliance pack called ISHE(don't know what these letter stand for) west of Brisbane.... Yet to find anymore info on them

Nothing on the register, nor the RAWS search atm about RAWS eligibility or approval for an 81.

There's only one colour plate for SEVS, and JZX81 isn't one of them :(

Are you thinking of IMSHE on the Gold Coast??

I'm only going on the info I was given.. Is the place you speak of known for compliance work?

They are actually called IAMSHE and they are a SEVS compliance workshop, I am not sure if they do a lot of 1988 & older cars these days or not:

yeah just spoke to them and they don't do jzx81's..

Turning into a wild goose chase

Sorry, I should have mentioned that no workshops are able to do JZX81's at this stage, and I doubt any ever will due to a lack of interest compared to other models.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
