Looking good, how long until compliance is done?

Should be 3 weeks if everything goes well. The only possible problem (as most of the work to the car has already been completed just the reams and reams of RAWS paper work to do) is Dotars is doing a random inspection sometime soon and if they find anything wrong at all it could be considerably longer. They have already told him there will be an inspection very soon and have picked the car they are going to inspect. Not mine.

Congrats JL, the wait must be infuriating.

 

Bags shotgun for a ride on the first cruise you bring it to.

 

Have you given it a name and sex yet???

The wait wasn't bothering me much before, but now that I have seen it I am ready to go! Sorry no names yet, not that I have ever named a car as of yet.

Just to clarify, all mods have to be removed, destroyed and replaced with factory stuff. Bye, bye exhaust, steering wheel and gearknob. Not too upset at losing the gearknob, it was a razo knob but it still looked ordinary. But losing the rest sux, especially the exhaust.

No, I know some compliance guys have been doing that, but if they get caught its the end of their license. The destruction has to be completely documented, even mag wheel are supposed to get squashed. Very strict, almost impossible to get around, especially since they do random checks and stuff. Doesn't really bother me too much, I didn't have much to lose, only a cat back exhaust and a steering wheel, I was getting rid of the steering wheel anyway. Oh, and it gets destroyed and then replaced at the customers expense. More mods the dearer compliance gets.

It was $120 to get the wheels polished, the best money I have spent so far! I spent 4hrs hand polishing them before I gave up and got nowhere near the finish on them that they have now. Well worth it.

Yeah that is something I have never been able to understand, that they have the right to destroy parts that you own, because you may or may not put the parts back on.

That is most unfair

stoopid in't it.

I can't see the possible reason other than making it difficult, as anybody can go fit or import those parts later anyhow they went and bought from somewhere else. Its such a waste, send them to Africa or something for godsakes ! so some little african kid can stick a HKS exhaust on his pushbike :D

  • 4 weeks later...

Pickup time 1:00pm Friday 26th March.

I'm excited!!!!!!!!! :boobies2: :boobies2: :boobies2:

Edit: Date correction, thanks twoquik, can't sit still, going to get bank cheque for compliance now!

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
