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

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
