I'm just curious regarding the new laws on cars being manditory fitted with ESC. Will this effect importing a car?

EG, if i import a R33 with no ESC, then try register and comply it in vic in 2012 after the laws are in full effect will it need to be fitted with the new parts, if thats even possible to do?

"the new law requires all passenger vehicles and SUVs made (or first affixed with a compliance plate) on or after January 1, 2011, to be fitted with a compliant ESC system"

Vehicles on the SEVS register are exempt (ie skylines). Probably because they have to comply with ADR's in order to be complianced, and are signed off on already.

even brand new cars get complianced.... hence "first fitted with complaince plates" .. i would say its just brand news cars ... but good question, i would be interested to see what other people have to say about this

I'm gonna say no on the fact of that I'm pretty sure cars only have to comply with the ADR's / laws in the year of manufacture or something like that.

Eg. I don't think you're going to have to fit ESC to a 60's Mustang you import. And the same with cars that don't require cats or seat belts.

i think i heard or saw somewhere that its only new cars have to have it, for example once it takes effect and becomes mandatory than all cars made after that needs ESC but anything before is fine.

Moving forward - what about for imports manufactured after 01/01/2011 - I'd imagine not all of them would have ESC

most of the import models manufactured after 2011 come with ESC already. its only the shit spec ones that don't.

mate's dad imported a '69 mustang a couple of years ago. speedo in mph, 110db exhaust etc, but it gets away with it cos it's a 'classic'. it'd be a nightmare to impose such regulations retrospectively.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
