Hi Guys,

great news for all you fellas looking to import a car next year - from the 01/01/2010 import duty on passenger vehicles is dropping from 10% to 5%

I'm seeking clarification on whether this applies from the date the car is shipped or the date the car arrives, as currently the dutiable value is based on the exchange rate on the date the car shipped and I have a sneaky suspicion they'll make this the rule for applying the new duty too.

But anyway, I'm stoked with the new rule as it can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on the cost of importing a car because not only the duty drops, but also the GST will be lower as you are charged GST on the import duty too (yes, a tax on a tax - ridiculous I know!)

over and out :D

Cheers

Aaron

Confirmed that it is for vessels discharging their cargo on or after 01/01/2010 :D

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
