What's that got to do with it? They don't have a torque converter, so they are a manual. How you change gear is irrelevant.

Agree, actualy they are better than normal manuals ( ones you push the clutch pedal)

If we're talking semantics, what does a torque converter have to do if a car is auto or manual either?

Surely how the flywheel is connected to the driveshaft is about as relevant as whether you change gears with an electronic paddle or a direct mechanical connection to the gearbox.

I know this is going to sound dumb but what exactly are trade plates and how do you obtain them? How long can you drive with them for?

you should be in the trade and own a company that is in need of a trade plate, e.g workshop dealership etc. catch my drift? your allowed to drive on a trade plate from what im aware it just has to be to and from a destination e.g dealership to servo etc. not like you can take it on a cruise or anything :D

Ahhhh yeah I get you, cheers dude.

It seems that the application to SEVS was made for a reason. Now that it is on the list, Nissan have 18 months to apply (and meet all requirements) for a mass import licence. Otherwise they forfeit the right to import the car.... then "Hello imports".... the price will tumble, (not enough for me I fear!!).

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
