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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
