hi

just helping a mate out,

his found a skyline for sale but is uncomplied and unregistered, the owner says he has import and compliance docs, the car has been like this for 2 years in aus, hasnt been in an accident, and is relatively stock bar some rims, turbo timer, blow off valves (all easy to remove and replace with originals), he questioned him about the period of time its been sitting here and the owner said the compliance has been extended.....

does all this sound right? could it be complied? in nsw ? (car is in nsw aswel)

any info would be good

cheers

nah it wasnt imported as a "track car only"

i dont know much about these importing/compliane things but track only cars dont need compliance right?

his got the paperwork for this and import docs.....main thing that worrys him is the amount of time its been sitting here in aus....

thanks again

You can extend the time period for compliance every 12 months if it hasn't been done yet. If this guy says that's what he did, then he sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Ask him who the compliance guy is (find the name on the import approval) and go to the DOTARS website and look up his telephone number. Call him, and if the compliance guy says he won't comply the car for one reason or another (i.e. aftermarket intercooler, accident car, etc.), than you should probably steer clear of this car.

cheers,

question you should be asking is why has this car been sitting for 2 yrs and not complied...do not under any circumstances part with any $$ until it is complied and registered...or you might end up with a whole heap of useless metal. Personally I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole as a lot can go wrong even with a car thats been sitting for 2 yrs. Plenty of other fish in the sea.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
