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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
