Lol they arrived on the same boat most probably because mine arrived on the 1st of Jan, taken to compliance around the 5th.

Purchased via Iron Chef.

Is yours going through in Sydney?

I went to the workshop a few weekends ago and saw my car so I might have seen yours as well.

Hey mate,

Im in Melbourne. Did you use Autohub? Our cars probably did come in on the same shipment. I reckon i would be ok with this wait if there was decent communication and clear justification why it has taken a month since they told me they sent off for the plates.

didn't anyone tell you that all clean and straight-forward, private/broker import cars automagically get targeted for "random" inspection? thereby holding the process up by several weeks.

The Department of Infrastructure and Transport's "random" inspection process is very important to ensure that while your car is being inspected all of the accident grade, wound-back dealer cars are ushered through the process without obstruction.

also - are you suggesting they should be held accountable for delays far exceeding their alleged "15 working days from receipt" processing target? LOL - remember we're talking about the public circus.

;)

Btw, Im pretty sure that the RAWS team are contracted out by Dotars and are not public servants.

Not sure what auto hub is.

I purchased mine through Iron chef.

But if you are having the same holdups that Sydney is having then I feel a lot better. I guess it's a holdup with paperwork or plates and we just have to wait

When I imported early 2013, I had about an extra 6 weeks delay. Mine ended up being due to Dotars training " A new girl" as they had been understaffed for a while. They stuffed up the paperwork and had to resubmit it again........... Once Iron Chef got onto them it went much quicker after that :banana:

Very nice! Looks like you scored some decent rims as well. Is that a factory bumper?

Heres my new daily beast!

The cube! niceeee

Yeah scored some nice SE37's and suspension.

Factory series 2 bumper (This will be one of the first mods haha because it looks horrid)

My GTR took less than a month for compliance as it was relatively stock and i had no issues. Car arrived on Oct 9 2013 and was ready by October 26th. However I bundled rego into it to be done which took another week or so to do but I was fine with that which delayed the car from being released until early November 9. Purchased via Iron Chef.

The wait is always a killer, but you guys are almost there!

just thought id chime in as i believe im in the same boat as you guys you can check the status of your car via dotars "Search for Approved Vehicles" and type in your VIN which is on your auction sheet if you dont know it already, mine got approved on Feb 28th so im guessing 2-3 week till im registered.Its true the wait has been absolute torture, especially seeing GTR drive past, you absorb every noise sound and smell knowing soon this will be in your possession.........

They told me it should be this week but I still haven't heard anything.

Might try and find the auction sheets and get the vin number to do that check.

Lucky for me I have a nice and powerful 33 to drive for the time being haha but thanks heaps for the link

heya, you don't need plate number. just grab the chassis number from your auction sheet and type it into the 'VIN' field - remove any dashes, leave the plate number field blank:

eg. BZ11344272 or ER34025033

then hit search and it will return the compliance plate info. if the car hasn't been complied yet you'll get the "no records matching..." message.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
