Hello Everyone.. This is hard to word but i hope you get my drift...

I recently bought a Nissan R33 Gtst from a company that imports cars (Will not name company as there may be further action against them)and was told i would get a RWC and all the stuff needed to get the car regoed in Aus ( I have it in writing)

I finally got the car 14 days ago. i look for the RWC i cant find it... So i ring the company, it went straight to message bank. I ring this company for the next 4 days and same thing... So i thought stuff this i will just get the RWC myself.. I took it to the work shop i always use and they said inorder to get a RWC i need new tyres.. So i told them to go ahead and get me a good safe set of new tyres.

So i thought everything was sweet.. I had the RWC/Import Details/Complaince Documents nothing could go wrong..

I go to get the car regoed today..Burwood (well my dad did, I had to work) and i get a call at 9 and he tells me that the tyres are not the same as on the complaince sheet... they neeed to be 225/50/R16 ...I was like wtf where are them tyres then... I ring up the complaince workshop... (It has changed hands in the past 3 weeks) and tell them that they did not put my tyres on... He said he had nothing to do with my car and it would have been the previous owners that would have done my car... (He said he has been gets stacks of phone calls a day about this same problem from this company)

So i had spend all day ringing this import company to get no responce...

So inorder to get my car regoed i need the same tyres as on the compliace sheet which are 225/50/R16... And as my rims on the car at the moment are 18 Inch i will need the whole wheel.

I will learn from this stupid mistake, But i am asking if anyone out there who has these tyres that i need could rent/sell/lend to me i will put a deposit down if needed. I will hopefully make another appointment at Vicroads on Friday 20/7

If you can help sent me a message

Thank you very much

Greg

Man, sounds like you've been fu(ked in the arse. I'd be very interested to know who the workshop is so I can tell people to avoid them. PM me the name if you can.

Regardless of it changing hands you had a contract with them yeah? I'd be going down there and kicking some arse!

PM sent regarding names and other info.

**JaR** I live in Doncaster so if no one is closer i dont mind driving

haha i had a similar story.

my seller used the stock r32 wheels to compliance car but put back the rims which were sold with the car.

Burwood vicroads told me they were the wrong tyres and I had to get them swapped back with the stock r32 wheels.

Shouldnt the workshop have the wheels they used?

I just drove back to my dealer and told them to swap the wheels with the ones they used..

Common thing for burwood vicroads to pick up little things like this. Apparently dandenong vicroads let it slide according to my dealer haha

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
