Hi,

I am in a bit of a situation with compliance. Compliance have advised my car is too heavily modified to be complied without having a stock R33 GTR onsite for 1 to 2 weeks.

My importer is also trying to organise a car but he has not been able to do this yet.

EDIT - Ive decided that I should probably sort this out directly with the importer and compliance workshop.

This post was made while on holiday so I should have probably put more thought into it before posting....

Regards,

Gareth

speaking from experience, how definite is the 1 - 2 weeks time frame? Compliance and time frames don't work well together, i find a factor of 10 fits the real world.

maybe a import yard/dealership could help? maybe one of the SAU traders? i don't know if 'all blitz' is still selling cars

EDIT: by selling, i mean, possibly has an un-owned R33 GTR that could be given up for a few weeks

What parts are you talking?

Sounds like highmount turbos along with other things, in which case someone i dont think you'll find one easily.

Being the donor car will be stripped of its parts to go onto yours, someone probably wont just 'give' you their car to let some random strip it and then re-fit.

Compliance rules arent exactly hard to understand, you should have known before bringing a highly modified import into the country that it wasnt going to pass.

Yes I understand the compliance rules.

I would not personally call the car heavily modified, when I bought it I was not aware of all the modifications. I only knew about what the importer told me. I dont believe he was fully aware of the modifications either.

The turbos are stock as far as I know, its mainly the number of small changes.

And this was through a broker, through a company.

Being the donor car will be stripped of its parts to go onto yours, someone probably wont just 'give' you their car to let some random strip it and then re-fit.

I will give the importer some time to see if he can sort this out for me, I am offerring to pay some money for it but I am not exactly rich.

The car would be used for compliance purposes, once I am past compliance its all fine.

Anyway, I will await an update from the importer.

Apologies for the random post, Ive been a little stressed over getting the car on the road.

Regards,

Gareth

may i ask what happened? does it have to be a R33 gt-r?<

PM me if you really want to know....

I think you'll find that not many (more likely no-one) will donate their GTR to get stripped of necessary parts needed for complying your car then put back together...

Maybe you should state which necessary parts are needed to comply your car, rather than someone hand over their whole car to make up for your importer's inspection skills....

doesnt seem right you should have to fork out extra money because the broker didnt no the item he was importing for you ?

id be telling the importer he has until X date to get the car so it can be registered...

Working on that with the importer, I am really frustrated now. Its disrupting my holiday and the car is still not registered after over 6months!

As for forking out extra money, too late. I've already been screwed over time-wise, with an incorrect valuation, and stroage fees.

Anyway, I've decided that the post was a little pointless so Ive edited my first post.

Gareth

sounds painful. good luck though.

lesson learnt - if you're not sure what you're doing with imports, buy a car that is complied and registered here already.

you might find that the 'cheap' self import and compliance costs the same as a importer doing it all then selling it with a margin for him.

Thanks, the main lesson is to be more careful of which importer you use.

Or buy locally....

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
