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....

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
