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 ?

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
