Maybe its a rear wheel drive non turbo.

The link below shows turbo on the engine cover.

Yep. RWD and non-turbo, and with 90,000kms.

Wonder if it was a taxi :laughing-smiley-014:

It says it includes compliance, but then also says the estimate is based on $2,500 compliancing, so it can go higher.

The VQ25DET I can understand having emissions problems, it's JDM spec only. But the VQ35DE is worldwide, it passes much more stringent emissions testing than Euro 2. I simply can't believe that a VQ35DE wouldn't pass easily. So is it more a matter of no one trying YET?

LOL....what beat's me is that the V35 Coupe and Sedan can both get compliance with the VQ35DE and it's on the same platform(I think)....go figure.

similar from what I can see. as I understand it regardless of engine, if its in another car that doesn't have compliance then its another test and another $5-6k for that test.

Yes it can be imported no problems at all. You then just simply have to wait for someone to produce an evidence pack to have it complied. My 2004 ARX VQ 25DET has been in country now for 12 months and still no compliance. My issues are well documented elsewhere. I would just like to once again thank that very knowledgeable import broker who categorically assured me that compliance was definitely available. What he neglected to tell me was what year it would be available in. Thanks heaps *%^&$*##!

cheers

Autech Axis's car is probably up for sale after the court case is finished. He is suing the person who gave him the false information and has very little chance of losing the case. Case is scheduled to be heard in about 3 weeks. I wish him every success as once the precedent has been set then I will probably follow suit. Nope mine is not on it's way to compliance in the forseeable future. Several factors are working against an early resolution. One being the fact that no testing station is available for quite some time.

Was thinking of you both when I saw the car advertised on the site :thumbsup:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
