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....

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
