Hey guys,

just a quick one...

i just checked out a 91 r32 mspec, and noticed it doesnt have the green complaince plate like other skylines.

Allthouh it does have a pink sticker with "used import plate" on it.

Isnt a pink plate for a used private import? As in the owner had it in japan for over 12 months and then imported it to Australia.

And the green one is for regular SEVS or RAWS or whatever.

OK, after thinking about it, since it is a 91 model it must be a used private import, as only July 1992 onwards cars can be imported under SEVS/RAWS. (As Nissan sold the R32 GTR in Aus before then.)

That and the 1989 models that came in under the 15 year old scheme.

rhett, it's a 32 mspec,so clear sailing for a 1991 import.

the pink stickers are the new compliance "plates", not just for "personal" imports.

isn't a "private" import just one you've done yourself? ie you've organised compliance, customs, shipping... etc, etc, without using ie. J-Spec, as opposed to a car you've owned outside of oz for over 12 months, that being a "personal" import?

my R34 came under SEVS, and as such... i ONLY get a sticker

it's fine imo, my car doesn't have a green plate, because it came in under SEVS. Post this thread or a link to this thread in the 'importing' section. You'll get some answers from the people in the biz from there

I'm 98% sure that under the old SEVS rules that ANY R32 older than July 1992 could not be imported, be it a GTR or GTSt or GTSt Type-M.

Under the old scheme, there were two types of compliance plates - blue ones for SEVS imports (the majority of them) and pink/orange ones for private imports - cars which the owner had in japan for at least a year, then moved to Aus and bought it over with them.

So there should never be a 90-June 92 R32 in Australia with a blue compliance plate. The 1990 to June 1992 cars must be private imports with pink/orange comp plates.

I emailed RAWS about my own one and apparently they are putting stickers rather than plates on now. I just hate how they put it on a strange angle on the strut tower rather than on the firewall. Apparently your not allowed to move it either!

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
