most of the cars couldn't be complied?? i thought that all the cars there were complied already??  i visited them a couple of times .. had some nice ones .. had some shitty ones ..

Correct a mundo. Thats what happens with the new RAWs ssytem. Its too hard for most dealers to make a buck anymore, and they are out of business.

Motorcity is one of the few decent dealers left. Who also knows how long they too will last.

Start watching those skyline prices begin to rise my friends. Demand pushes the price up, especially when the supply curve begins to fall.

Paul (Boost King).

sorry, back on topic - this is a real shame, as Simon had already bought the full RAWS package to start complying under the new scheme, and was getting ready to get permits to import the R33.

On an upside, as Boost King points out, at least now the price wont continue to drop for imports - and hopefully modded cars will start to better reflect their true worth (cost to build). that is of course, until they are 15 years old.

Just had a thought, maybe the govt only wants OLD cars on the road - yep thats gotta be it:)

LOL thanks Steve! :rofl: Yeah, I only signed up a YEAR ago!! :)

When Matt and I were doing promo work for Simon at the XHP Show, he was talking about selling up and going into compliancing - next thing we knew, Turismos were gone. No word as to what exactly happened though....

What happens when they are 15 years old?

NitRaTe, how much do the compliance plates cost, and how much is it to get an evidence pack under the new RAWS scheme, and would you be able to privately import a car and get it complied by other than a RAWS approved compliance place, if it is less than 15 YO?

I know that you are still required to make the cars meet the standard that apply to cars through the RAWS scheme, but as it is outside the scheme, there is alot less evidance required, and you dont have to have govt approval to comply the vehicle - alot less red tape, and middle men, means alot less $$$$.

If I am completely out of left field, please let me know what the truth of the matter is, cos this is just my understanding/personal assessment.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
