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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
