Hi,

As a V35 owner, i love the new V36 370GT in every way, and i can't wait for them to eventually hit our shores.

it will be a defiante upgrade direction for me unless i with the lotto and get a new M3 before that :D

i suppose this question is more directed to j-spec and the like..

i just wanted to know, given that the 370GT has been released in japan now, what is the usual timeframe for places to get compliance?

and, when we will approximately see them on the roads in australia?

look forward to everyone's help :D

cheers,

Warren

The V36 isn't on the SEVS schedule yet but paperwork is ready so in a few months they will be listed and eligible to import and as per the 2004 M35 Stagea's emissions is needed and it is a $30,000 plus exercise, cost is more the worrying bit then thinking it will fail but it is still a possibility which is why none of the usual people have committed to test it.

It is being funded but due to various reasons limited workshops will be able to comply them even to the extent you might only have one RAW in WA for a year or two.

It isn't on the the SEVS schedule as we cant submit the application yet so it is a few months away which means about 6 months before a car is in the country but currently no one wants to pay the $35,000 plus for emission test's (due to the variants).

Lucky to see them available by early 2009 and even then it will be limited workshops complying them and more then likely the bigger ones only as it will be an expensive project.

I was gonna say, they still haven't been out for 18 months yet, so they're not even on the SEVS register yet. I think a few people have applications ready to go though as soon as it becomes ok. I don't see how compliancing can be "underway", unless that includes what DRIFTT (and I) have just said...

As you know it is called "come in spinner" how many promises are made with out looking into it from the so called experts, you have to remember 2004 VQ25DET M35 Stagea's can also be complied.

Below is the link to all of the eligible vehicles updated regularly but this is only eligible vehicles under SEVS and their variants not vehicles approved to be imported and so their is no confusion the requirements to get the V36 and any other vehicle on the schedule.

SEVS List Eligible Vehicles

APPLICATION FOR ELIGIBILITY SPECIALIST AND ENTHUSIAST VEHICLE SCHEME

10. Has this vehicle Make-Model been supplied to a market (anywhere in the world) at least 18 months ago?

18. Vehicle will be required to meet at least 2 of the 4 specialist and enthusiast vehicle criteria. See Circular 0-2-12 Table 1.

18.1 Appearance:

18.2 Unusual design features:

18.3 Performance:

18.4 Featured in specialist motoring magazines in ‘as manufactured’ condition:

18.5 Does the vehicle meet at least 2 of the 4 specialist and enthusiast vehicle criteria?

I've got 2 articles stashed away :)

I have some that can go in now but even then it still has to be viable to even warrant the expense to post it down to DOTARS, the V36 already meets the requirements aside from the 18 months from release date so no problem their.

Check this one out that got knocked back if it was this simple everything would be on the list and no wonder DOTARS are so busy trying to do their job with stupid applications like this not to mention the Kia and Hyundai ones.

TOYOTA VOXY LINK

Appearance Silhouette does not differ sufficiently to other vehicles in MA category. It is a van how different can it be to even suggest a different silhouette.

Design Features Fold down/up seats and walk through flat floor are not considered unusual design features for MA category vehicles. That is such a new idea as well.

The second one in particular is ridiculous, given that that's how the Delica got through. I suspect someone at Toyota has put pressure on - it depends on how far you want to take it, but you can appeal it (I know the ST246 went to court before it was approved).

Delica's are under MC and only just came in with angle of descent/ascent, nothing to do with Toyota they are more then likely just car salesmen trying to get them in as a people mover not convert to a camper like the El Grand as the change to the ruling for conversions is coming out soon.

whens the Altezza GITA going to be available under SEVS ?

whens the Altezza GITA going to be available under SEVS ?

I was actually asked about this one the other week and as I said then it was looked at a while ago but back then they were expensive and not many up at the auction in 3 litre, now the price has dropped but again not many coming up at the auctions.

When selecting a new model with no evidence available and if not even on the SEVS schedule you look at a few things to justify the expenditure and risk at importing something different which include,

  1. Amount of vehicles manufactured and at the auctions,
  2. What they are worth compared to compliance cost,
  3. Year's of manufacture for reasons including evidence,
  4. How many recalls does the vehicle have and their cost,
  5. Are after market parts sold if selling to younger market,

Unfortunately what people want or what people say might be available soon will not justify the cost's involved with bringing new models online and is a fact to keep this industry viable long term as some workshops are going backwards.

sorry for the confusion. Yes, you are correct - the application and research into evidence etc has been done.

Given the current motoring climate - the decision to delay this may be indefinate.

As per another post of mine so people know the Nissan V36 will NOT be available for at least 8 to 12 months and an easy way to put it in perspective is the R35 GTR is the highest priority import currently in the system for various reasons including price tag and it was approved over 6 months ago under SEVS to import but we are all still waiting.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
