To gain respect you must first show that you are worthy of such.

"Get a Life" & "Key Board Warrior" and such incitfull words of wisdom as "tell me how long a piece of string is" really show the maturity of some forum members. Arguing the merits of the posting i can accept, after all that is the actual purpose of a forum in the 1st place but personal barbs i will not tolerate, be I be a newby or long termer.

Around the corner from me in Punch Bowl there is a certain shop (alledgedly) that curently has 2 race cars in their position that were importhed in this manner.

I wasn't aware that Punchbowl NSW was around the corner from Frankston VIC :domokun:

your heart may be in the right place, but your methods leave us all doubting. what's th point of anonymity over such a trivial discussion.

wow, your "insider" info is sounding like more of an "outsider" after every post...

mate, your argument has been handed back to you on a platter, in lots of tiny pieces... harden up, admit you're wrong, and let's get back to the nitty gritty like when the hell are some of these GTR's which are going to pass through melbourne, be given to Final Inspection for a detail!!! I want a close up look damn it!! :thumbsup:

I'm getting the impression you work for Nissan Australia and/or you have a vested interest in disseminating FUD (that's fear, uncertainty and doubt for you) regarding the possibility/legitimacy of importing R35 GT-R's parrallell to Nissan Australia. Posting on subjects which you either have no first hand knowledge about or something you heard second hand.

At the moment you come across as someone who does not know what's going on in the Australian import scene so when you attempt to tell it like it is you're officially making a fool of yourself. Your DOTARS insider has no correct information or information that is out of date. A few of the forum members who are posting in here are close to what's going on with the GT-R's in the country and you aren't...

So who are you? Own up and tell us your name...

Now lets clarify what is being posted here from a different point of view being "business in confidence" specifically statements on who is importing what R35 GTR's as this is of a concern, if you look back at older posts certain information about various business is mentioned and were the information comes from or hinted to were it is coming from is the more important thing so a quick overview of the privacy act is below.

No one on a forum and going on your info a Government Employee or which ever place he gets the information from can tell/post about a vehicle of mine along the lines of when a VIA was issued, were is it going and and other statements like "The rest are pending (and as i have been told) will be pending for a loooonnnnggg time (race/rally excluded)".

Commonwealth and ACT government agencies must comply with 11 Information Privacy Principles which are set out at section 14 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Question: I am concerned that a Commonwealth or ACT government agency is using my personal information incorrectly. What can I do?

Answer: If you believe an agency is mishandling your personal information, first of all contact the agency to express your concerns. The staff member you speak to at the agency should be able to tell you why your information was collected, how it is being used or disclosed and whether there are any relevant laws that allow the agency to use or disclose it in the manner it has.

For further information on lodging a complaint with this Office, please see the How to make a complaint or Your Privacy Rights pages of our website.

Good point.

If our "DOTARS insider's" friend really did tell him that an import approval was granted for "the Donut King car" he is probably in breach of federal privacy regulations. Quite ironic considering he's blabbering about people "misusing" trade plates but at the same time spilling his guts about information that he has no business being aware of.

Lets get a few things corrected.

A car can only be imported into Australia with an appropriate VIA. From my contacts 3 VIA's have been issued for R35's.

1 x Nissan Australia (Melbourne Motor Show)

1 x Donut King

1 x NSW company (unknown name)

I have been told that Nissan have special a special VIA that allows them to register the car under certain conditions. The other 2 vehicles have been imported under the Race/Rally regulations via Perth.

I have also been told that if either of the non Nissan cars are used on the road (with trade plate or not) that the owner faces immediate confiscation of the car and the owner and/or driver faces very stiff (corporate level) fines. If as other forum members have noted that a car has been seen on the road, where is the Video footage and photos? In an age where every one has a phone with a camera, how come we don't have any evidence of a car in Chappel Street? Sounds like an urban myth to me.

Why would you risk a 150K plus car on the road when it shouldn't be there?

more to the point....get out and do your own job properly before you start to do the police's job....you guys are the biggest bunch of lazy bullshit weilding bastards i have ever come across....DOTARS burn in hell.....thanks for reading

I used to deal with DOTARS on a weekly basis. Sure it was regarding Diesel Engines for Trucks, but similar processes i imagine were in place.

It took anywhere from a year to a just a few weeks to have them pass. The ones that took a year were, where legal teams were involved. Mainly because DOTARS do not like dealing with Carbon Credits. Most were passed within 1-2 months.

I do not understand the laws in their entirety regarding on road testing... but believe me when i say i have driven prototypes with trade plates legitimently. These were one off's that have since had a few changes and then proceeded to production.

I assume that Nissan Australia will be conducting some testing of their own (to fine tune suspension etc for our sub-standard roads) and i have also heard of more than 3 R35's getting about.

Either way, it's a great looking car, it's performance is un-questionable, i'd love to see one on the street, talk to the owner and look under the hood and more to the point, i want one.

In your few postings on this forum (under this guise?) you have not exactly conducted yourself in the manner that would command respect either. The 'personal barbs' have clearly arisen out of frustration experienced by forum members in response to the arrogance displayed by you in relation to the specialist and enthusiast importation regulations, and your apparent lack of knowledge thereof.

Kindly do not post misleading and inaccurate information without doing thorough research first .... from a credible source. It's not a debate as you say, it is just the constant rebuttle of your ridiculous comments.

I still fail to see what "DOTARS Insider" has brought to the table apart from some half formed, ill conceived snippets of information that anyone with half an ear to the ground would know of anyway. If he wants to garner some respect or credibility he needs to ask his supposed insider mates for something juicy. Even then he's still that far behind the 8 ball that its barely worth the effort.

Its not school holidays in the East already is it?

ahh c'mon you guys are mean. I want to learn more from inside DOTARS. What is going on? What is the coffee like? Is it true all of your funding comes from Toyota to make sure they don't have to compete with their own products and to support otherwise unprofitable local manufacturers? Why does it take more than an hour to process a 5 page import approval form?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.

      The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
