Yes if it has been registored before then there will have to be a complience unless they managed to get it under the 15 year rule that has since been changed... if that is the case then the car has been sitting a while and i would be more worried about dried up rubbers and stuff... just my 2 cents

i think the compliance plate is a pink plate on the inside of the passenger door?

my plate is in engine bay on firewall

I woul say if it does not have the pink compliance plate anywhere forget about buying it. Wait a bit and keep looking for a good one

I agree with Rhys, unless its stupidly cheap id buy one already registered (could end up being more hassle then its worth, time off work etc)

And plenty of imports came in under the 15 year old scheme

but they should still have 6U9000 then HCR32XXXXXXX or BNR32XXXXXXX

usually either on a plate attached to the firewall or engraved directly onto the firewall

ones that came in under SEVS either has a Pink or Green compliance plate

Edited by R32 Driver

as a car imported under the now abolished 15 year rule the car will not have a compliance

however you must have a copy of the import approval to register the vehicle

contact Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government and try and get a copy of the import approval for the vehicle

if it doesnt have one or you cant get one thats pretty much the end of the road

Previous rego may not be enough , you may still need this document.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
