Hi

I'm thinking of buying this 1987 Rover Mini but its here in Brissy but not complied.

Its got the import papers, was imported from Japan

Is it hard and expensive to comply these things? as it will need to match ADR's emission for that year and carby engines are hard to pass and quite expensive for each emission test? door intrusion bars, unleaded fuel tank restrictors, tyres and probably more right?

Anyone here have complied a similar vehicle?

Do I just ring up engineers that are qld transport certified? like for mod plates?

Thanks in advance

you won't need to do any emissions testing etc. being a pre-88 vehicle they don't have to be complied as such. just a few small mods to meet basic roadworthy/state rego requirements. they differ slightly from state to state. anyone with experience registering pre 88 imports in your state should be able to help and it should be fairly cheap compared to SEVS compliance.

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
