From the information gathered through the negative experiences of two (and hopefully not more) buyers, they found out that 2004 and onwards models did not, for some strange reason, meet the emissions standards set by the ADRs or whatever, even though the same engines were still being used as those in the pre-2004 models that ARE eligible for import here.

So, basically, due to some ridiculous red tape -and unless it's changed since then - you can't legally bring in and have complied any models built after November 2003...

There are a few threads on this, and a quick search will reveal more in detail...

not to sound smart but put your original post in the "Importing Vehicles" section of SAU. You will get pretty much a definative response as some of the importers (J-Spec, Carzima, Iron Chef etc.) who are apart of SAU and they do check and post and give adivce when needed.

this will put your mind at ease

The reason behind this, is because ADR's concerning emission's were changed after this date. Japan didn't change anything and ergo cars built after this have have yet to be proved to be able to pass the later emission standards.

While technically it COULD be done, you would need to find a damn near perfect car, and then bring it over and TRY to get it tested and passed before the 12 month limitation on compliance kicks in. It would be a very long, tiresome and extremely expensive process.

You would receive maximum kudos for your efforts from everyone to import one AFTER you, but :P

Speak to the Iron Chef, Kristian seems like a great guy, i PERSONALLY wont be touching J-Spec due to a mates non-stagea importing issues with them.

I live for opportunities to bust this one out!

But seriously, a quick search will save a lot of time - for example: try the M35 info thread, which has links to pics anf info on the cars you are looking at.

axis autech , ideally !!!!

Where in Vic are you?

Do you need to have the later model?

I can show you my Stagea if you want to get some idea of what they are about (if you have only seen them online). :(

My question was directed at Ryan because I was to extend the same offer to him... :)

im located near bachus marsh , but travel all around with work , i would like a later model as possable , so i dont feel im going to far backwards so to speak , i have a 2002 model ford , so a 2003 model stag would kind of defeat the purpose of buying a new vehicle , if you can understand where im coming from. regards alan

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
