We currently have 27 vehicles on our compliance list and we are about to add 2 more, Both the Nissan Cube and the Honda Civic EP3.

What we need a Test Vehicle of both types for our compliance testing. The turn around would be 3 to 6 months, but it would be a free compliance. Car of course we have to be clean, no rust and as close to factory condition as possible. It would have to come to Melbourne firstly of course but we could send it off from there.

If you are interested email us at [email protected] or call on 03 9415 7150.

Regards,

Paul @ Carizma

The cube needs to be a 1.4 Ltr, Auto up to 12/2005

The Civic EP3 Type R needs to be up till 12/2003

quick question, would it be cube gen 2 or 3? not sure which engine/trans choices are on the possible raws list.

not interested in doing the 04 model EP3s? or did the have the facelift during 03 sometime? I'm keen on one of the later EP3s with the slightly updated front end. just can't remeber off the top of my head if that occurred in 03 or 04 model?

Hey Baron,

We will eventually, it would require a new emissions test, so down the track yes but in the short term we are gonna start with up to 12/2003

cool. so I am right that the facelift EP3 with the different lights/bumper/etc is 04 onwards? I am a long way from being an EP3 expert :P

I might still go for a 02/03. if I find and buy a suitable car I will let you know asap.

thanks Paul.

Not sure about the face lift, will find out but the reason were not doing 04 on wards atm is emission testing requirements changed and it got more expensive to test.

yeah fair enough, it makes sense. I think it is 04 when they had the facelight, new lights and front bar and the interior changed a little too with different recaro's etc.

That's correct, they are a goer now.

ta!

looks like I need to snatch one for a few more days.

was it heath that cleared it?

remember them saying they had to smash glass on one.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
