Yeah, unless you have a RAWS certification then you can't... however if you go with J-spec or Risbey then you can personally import one, using their name.

What he meant is you can't apply for import authorisation as you don't have the right certification. But any private importers will be able to do that for you.

Nah, under the old scheme all the paperwork was in your own personal name. You applied for the permit and everything yourself and all the risk was with you. Under the new scheme private imports are only allowed for 15 year old cars and for private cars you owned whilst overseas.

With RAWS, only a RAW can apply for and import a vehicle. The car is in their name at all stages of the import process and all the paperwork is in the name of the RAW. They can certainly import one for you but it just won't be in your name, thats all.

Was it Bill or John who told you that?? On a personal note, SEI motors are quite expensive...

To import you must own and be a RAW, no mention of LMCP anywhere in the RAWS requirements.

Anyway there are currently only 3 RAWS in victoria !

One is cross over car conversions which does JAP stuff and the other 2 are US stuff, left to right conversions on chevy trucks.

But there are more in the process, UPimports will be up and running soon i beleive.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
