he may be trying to get the car complied... in which case there are a whole lot more hurdles you need to jump threw, 1 of them being and english owners manual

There would be a lot of JDM only cars that wouldn't have a english owners manual. For instance there isn't a 1JZ english workshop manual in existance so i highly doubt that there would be english owners manuals for any 1JZ equiped cars when there aren't workshop manuals.

Also there are no english owners manuals for 180sx's there are english owners manuals for 200sx's and 240sx both of which are the same car but none for an actual 180sx.

Dale, my 100 came with a 'owners manual' as it was a test car. It was all of about 5 pages basically saying 'put petrol in the petrol tank, oil in the engine and coolant in the radiator'. Just another stupid 'rule' to make it that little bit harder to import.

Also, while we're reliving the days of REAL comedy on TV...

Thank you to everyone concerned for my welfare. When a Jap import is registered in SA for the first time, our lovely inspectors go over the Consumer Information Notice (paperwork from the compliance workshop) and cross check that everything is done exactly as is written, right down to the brand of tyres and the sizes. Mine said on the paperwork it had a translated English manual and it didn't so I fail. I'm sure you can imagine the phone call to the workshop after that one - it's coming down overnight via Express Post...

so is it still gonna be making an appearance on sunday? id really like to check one out. >_<

thinkin i might buy some new wheels next week, theres a set of 17 x 9 +20 grenades at JIS...

Yep, as Chef pointed out when every car is complied in Aus it MUST have an English manual supplied. Mine was a 10 page photocopied and stapled pos, but meets the letter of the law.

Andrew, from what I gather, you don't have to have one unless it has been mentioned in the Consumer Information Notice compiled by the compliance workshop.

In other words, Regency are nit-picking and should be blown up!

^^^Pretty much.

As I was saying to the girl behind the counter at the ID inspection place (who I later found out had had her own car impounded at one point haha), the Cedric will be a much nicer car once its about a foot lower, has a guard roll and has the 19s on. (Stich Kamfer, 19x8.5 and 9.5 +26 all round, ex-Japan, for the wheel Nazis...)

This one may be up for sale sooner than I thought - it turns out that buying a car and forgetting to tell your wife is not a wise thing to do...

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
