Guys im wondering if i can get some advice on this. Ive found a red MR evo wagon id like to stitch up but something is bugging me.

The car comes with 3 years left on the factory warranty but if im exporting the thing to Australia next year, what can i do to secure a warranty for the car there? I understand this may be a dumb question but ive honestly no idea what procedures there are for this type of thing.

Does Mitsubishi transfer warranties? I know Nissan do...

What are my options, if any?

Warranties are only valid in the country of sale.

I was told Nissan will transfer warranties? Was i being told porkie pies?

You can get a warranty for any pile of s... you want. They're called aftermarket warranties and they are worth precisely 0% of the paper they are written on so you may as well just piss on a pile of cash to the value of the warranty and call it a day.

Okay...now im really confused...

You can add a warranty to my privately imported Evo wagon? I pay $795 and im covered to a certain degree by your company?

*edit* I need to add ( ask ) that i will be bringing this car in as a personal import, i.e, owned and driven in Japan for a year and then exported into oz...

Is this possible..for example do you have a place in Sydney or Adelaide that can cover it?

yeah they transfer warranty within the country of sale. like if hiroshi in saitama sells his R35 GTR to kazu in shibuya then yeah you can transfer the warranty. but it's not international mate. no company would do that. so the answer to how can I get a warranty for my personal import is "you can't".

SEVS imports are often warrantied by the importing RAW. but for personal import you are on your own.

There are companys you can approach to provide a warranty on your car for an initial cost (I believe). One example is the Australia Wide Warranty Network www.aswn.com.au

Having said that, the quality of those kind of warranties really depends on the local workshop who they mandate will do any repair work. Plus you need to keep regular service records (which is fine for myself, but when someone is telling me I HAVE to, it's annoying :P ).

I should have haggled money off the price of my car, because the locals who support the 'warranty' are a pack of cheating, lying mongrels who I wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole. :whistling:

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
