if its 1992 model its either brought in as race use only, in which you CANNOT comply it, or it has to be imported through a RAWS workshop, who do the compliance work....

I sure hope you haven't bought a race only vehicle thinking it could be complied....

did you get any paperwork when you bought it??

compliance for sevs vehicles is usually minimum $2500

you can get quotes for basic compliancing,they do vary a bit.they will give you just the basic compliance checklist that is complusory and will cost lest 2 or 3 k.eg.the cat conversion is dear...they will only change brake pads and other needed repairs if needed and you tell them to do it.

It CAN be complied if it's manufactured in June '92 or later. Check the VIN to see what month it was made in.

Other than that, it can't since Nissan brought in those models themselves from mid '91 until mid '92.

who holds the import approval?

1992 r32 ?

your screwed if you want compliance .it can NOT be complied for road use

if its a 1992 australian delivered skyline all it needs is to be roadworthy and pit passed

a 1992 R32 should have side intrusion bars in the doors already.

It has to be complied by a RAW under the SEVS scheme. If its been in the country for over a year you might not be able to comply it. For it to be in the country already a RAW must have its paperwork, so your first job would be to transfer that paperwork from the RAW that imported it to the RAW that you choose to comply it.

Unless as posted previously its a race import... in which case you can't road register it anyways.

Best bet is to ring DOTARS and run the VIN number by them to see who holds the paperwork for it. If they say "that car was meant to be destroyed or re-exported a while back" well... heh good luck with that.

correct, Nissan brought in the R32 GTR only, but that doesn't matter. It's just the R32 part that matters, so the ruling applies to all R32's, regardless of whether they're GTR's or GTS-T's. From chassy number (R32 GTS-T) HCR32 271123 onwards is ok.....

took us a while to figure that one out....if you need to know the chassy numbers for non-turbos, gts-4 and gtr's, email me or give us a call....

might cost you a beer or two, haha.

david @ carizma

I thought it shouldn't matter what year the car is (unless it was brought under the 15yo rule?)

It's a gts-t and they were never brought into australia in full volume were they?

Good luck sorting it out buddy.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
