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.

should it have the green plate tho??

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!

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
