UPDATE:

Ok so the boys at kamakaze have finished with my car done compliance and RWC needed only a couple of bushes for RWC waiting for compliance plate to come from DOTARS which should be tuesday wednesday the latest then off to vicroads i go the wait has been killing me.

Ok so here is what it has cost me for anyone thinking of doind the same thing

$8600 FOB-car itself from japan

$4200 approx for shipping, quarantine and all duties

$4020 for compliance,transport RWC and Fix things for RWC.

$200 in phone calls to find out the latest LOL(jokes)

$960 Vicroads registered and brand new plates YAY :)

Total $17780

I am using the jap tyres that came with it as they were near new Nankangs give you full details when im looking at it my driveway as well as a crap load of photo's.

For anyone else embarking on their first import journey take my advice if your impatient like me buy local as no amount of phone calls to quarantine the agents or compliancers will get your to you any faster. :D

Close to 18k, that's just too cheap Andy! :P (compared to what I payed for mine anyway).

Regardless, great buy buddy, and I can't wait for you to get it so I can steal your kit :)

At least let me drive it once b4 you steal the kit off it :D

Still waiting on cherry33 for an answer on the kits

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
