Anyone Have A Stock R33 Gtr For Compliance (willing To Pay $$$)


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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....

Care to elaborate rather than just making accusations champ?

I am allowed too ??

I have sent a PM to some_cs_student about what this company put me through and it seems he is going through the same

ok.

will accept the acceptable pm if its acceptably acceptable

in other words, care to send it my way, i may be able to help your cause

ps didnt say he had to say it on here, also maby his post should be deleted as he is making accusations within the same vein

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
