usually they destroy them when they take em off

So that means that if i import a car with gt2530, intercooler, coilovers, etc. there is a chance i could end up with a car missing a whole heap of parts and have to purchase stock items?

people talk bout taking parts off and hiding it in the car or just leave it in the car and install it back on later

That's what i meant to do.

Thanks,

Wow after driving a VL commodore 3L auto this skyline is amazing - handling, power, looks kills it in every way. Just be careful in the wet this thing will spin the rear wheels in any gear - it can be a bit scarry.

Great tourqe though u can change through the gears at 2000rpm and its fine, once you go over 2500 u can start to feel that turbo kick in and its wooshka from there on!

I'm on a high - hehe!!!

@ Richelieu... I get the impression that compliancers will take off all aftermarket gear excluding stereos and fit with standard items but will refit your mods after registration for a fee (increased compliance cost up to $2k more I've heard - which I guess could be worth it depending on mods).

zymotic,

Can you tell me how long compliance took for you? My Skyline just landed in AU on October 5, and is currently getting clearance from customs...My Skyline will be getting complied at the same place as yours, and i want to know how long it'll take, approximately...cant freakin' wait!!!

Congrats on the new line zymotic!

"I know it won't be quiet as fast as a WRX but it will certainly look better in my eyes" - maybe not yet, but a WRX is worth double what you paid for your line! A couple of mods and the only WRX you'll see, will be one in your rear vision mirror :)

Good luck!

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
