Why would they make you destroy something that you have paid for?

Just because it needs to be complied as stock, doesn't give them the right to destroy your legal property, I would imagine.

Sounds moore like dodgy compliance yards trying to keep an exhaust system for free to me.

Under the new rules cars or to go straight from the docks to compliance in a standard stock form

If they are fitted with aftermarket parts of any form they are to be removed destroyed and proof shown that has been done and stock parts refitted.

That's why you are better buying a stock car and not having that new HKS2835 pro S turbo get removed and destroyed. that would really suck.

I stand corrected.

Wow that isn't very fair.

Lucky JL Newton has found a decent complier.

Hmmm makes me think a bit more seriously about what I will buy when I import a GTR later on, next year.

Yeah, you cannot bring in anything modified anymore, but try and find a GTR in Japan that doesn't have a cat-back exhaust, almost impossible, especially considering age would be starting to catch up with factory exhaust systems. And who would replace it with a standard exhaust. Another part of the compliance is brakes have to be completely rebuilt using factory Nissan gear which comes in at around $2k, I could have used that money for slotted rotters and endless pads, and it would stop a hell of a lot better than standard Nissan stuff. Anyways, thats the rules!

Yeah, I just don't want to remove too much stuff, it seems hard enough to get interest in the GTST as it is, let alone with all the good stuff taken off. Luckily for the me the camber kits are are the same between the GTST and GTR, just need the adj. caster rod and sway bars, and I already have a nice set of fully adj, Apexi T-max coilovers sitting in my lounge room floor. Suspension is done!

congrats - sounds like a nice car - wats ur old r33 goin for?

Thanks mate, not really sure what $s to put on the GTST yet, there is such a wide range of prices out their??? It won't be up for sale until probably late Feb, I am thinking somewhere between $16k and $19k. If it goes as low as $16k I will be taking all the good bits off and selling them. There are a few guys here interested in some bits for their track exploits. (Cusco F & R strut braces, DBA slotted clubspec rotors, Cusco radius rod, bilstein shocks, O2 Rush pod and UAS Cold Air Box, etc)

cant you import it without brakes, and get it complied witht eh better brakes here?

Nah, has to be complied here with genuine new nissan bits for the brakes, amongst other things, they are very tough now. The new rules basically try and get the cars as close to new/showroom condition as possible considering age. Everything must be stock, and I mean everything. Can't be all bad I suppose.

Still, I am sure the original Brembo/Nissan combination can't be that bad!

its crappy about the stock as a rock thing.. but they know full-well the parts would just go back on, or onto the market if they did.

Nice car.. don't think i have seen a white 33 GTR up here yet, then again i have only been here about 3 weeks :P

    • 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.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
