R32s (both GTR, GTS-T and GTS4), 300zx, more S13 silvias, 180sx first came out with the CA18DET... few popular cars actually appeared that year.

Come 2005, if the rule remains the same that is, 1990 models will be even more popular. While a lot of the cars above came out in 89, they didn't really hit full production en'mass until about 1990.

Much larger range of 1990 vehicles to choose from (of all types) it seems from the various auction lists I have looked at.

Hey Guys.

Ok i know first hand whats happening with the 15yr rules. I have been on the phone for almost an hour, trying to work out how they intend on implementing this rule.

Now it is NOT a change in the rule just a change in the way its interpreted. It has always been a 15yr rule, not a 14yr and 11 months rule.

Now basically they want the importer to prove what year(easy) and now the month also(hard)

Now they have said either dereg papers from japan, Proof from the manufacturer or a date and corresponding VIN list.

Now i don't know anyone who can supply me with the list of numbers i need.

But basically its to stop the potential flood of 89 models in jan 2004.

Being an importer sure is fun atm, with raws now this what mroe can they throw at us????

Finding the VIN numbers will be the key to 15 year imports a friend who is a buyier in Japan for some of the big players has nearly finished his collection of VIN numbers on all cars upto 20 years old that come into this country.

I have been sent a link to a car in free storage over in Japan and the only thing in short supply is bricks.

I would ask for info on my car if I had one sitting in Japan.

I just cant believe that people are whinging about this. If you had've asked any importer - and I'm not talking about someone who is only interested in extracting a service fee from you - about whether the 1989 stuff would be allowed in and you would have been told that there was no way in hell the government would let them come in. I havent bought a single '89 car to store because I knew it would happen.

Its the old adage - if something appears too good to be true then it is - 16k GT-Rs fall into that bracket...

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
