R there any good importers in Rocky?

There are importers, but opinions vary. I personally went through a guy in Perth.

No, it's done all by phone and internet.

I rang him, after doing some research and hearing nothing but good, said "I want this", he said "No worries", the next morning, my mailbox was full of cars in the specs I requested, and so I picked and chose. I picked the one I've got now, won it at auction, then it got shipped over here, complianced and I went down to Gold Coast to pick it up. All I had to do was to pay for things and make sure paperwork got where it was going. Was good.

importing 4wds has become more difficult with the new sevs rules. I'm not sure exactly whats eligible but I think its about only the 15 y.o 4wd that are able to be imported readily .... I do know you can;t import cruisers anymore because of their power to weight ratio isn't good enough to fit the rules.

First car was mum's Mazda 808, which has now become mine again, because my car before the Skyline was a 1988 Suzuki Vitara:

I gave that to the old girl because she couldn't afford to buy a new one...

And the importing isn't annoying or hard. It's very straightfoward. The guy in Perth gave me a good checklist for the process, but yes, had to wait about 6-7 weeks from the moment the bank gave me the money to the moment I snapped the tail out on the first corner.

Scibs you going to drag the 33 so you can have a time to compare the performance difference between 2.5L and 3L?

Yeah, I will be. Hopefully I won't destroy anything that will divert funds away from the 3L or new suspension (Which I need more than the 3L). Probably only do about 5-6 runs and call it a day. I want a good idea of what it's capable of, not a destroyed Skyline.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
