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.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
