I baught a car from a member on here and he had the de-rego papers for the car. I am at the stage now when i need them and i cannot get in touch with him. How can i get another copy? The car did not come through a broker, the guy imported it himself.

How long does it taketo get them? Can i comply the car without them??

thanks

If you have the original invoice from whoever sold the car to the other bloke in Japan, try contacting them.

The compliance workshop who applied for the import approval may already have a copy, but I suspect it's them who is hounding you for it. Actually, ask the workshop for the copy of the invoice from the dealer/agent in Japan might be your best shot - the RAW would've needed it when they applied for the import approval in the first place.

I dont have the orignal invoice unfortunatley. And yes its the complience workshop chasing it.

I will ask the RAW what you said about the invoice, and then try contacting them. If that dosent work is there a way i can get it if i have the VIN number? like get it from japan? Is there someone that can do that?

Another dead end

The raw only has a copy of the import approval. Have someone that can find the de-rego in japan but need a license plate number and that i dont have.

So pretty much screwed, have a car i cannot complience. The guy has fanished and im feeling a tad ripped off!!

I don't understand how the workshop could possibly have got the import approval without some kind of original invoice from Japan as proof of purchase. Anyway, the other place that will have a copy of the invoice would be the customs broker that handled the customs work. Seeing you're from WA, try the usual culprits over there, like Universal Customs Brokers - there's a remote chance they might have done it. Your aim is to get the invoice from Japan, that way you can track down the company who sold the car from over there, as they will probably have a copy of the de-reg.

I'd also be trying to find the person who sold you the car a bit harder too :whistling:

They dont need the Jap dereg. They keep if for their records but can comply the car without it. How do you think workshop compliance cars imported from NZ, US etc. No jap dereg!! If they wont comply it request that it gets signed over to another workshop. What type of car is it? The Stagea?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
