Hi just wondering if Honda アクティ can be imported ?

or anything similar?

Vehicles similar to this can be imported as long as they are built in 1988 or earlier. The newer ones are not powerrful enough to meet the minimum power-to-weight ratio under the SEVS compliance requirements.

The Acty and most other Kei cars can't be imported because of SEVS regs, but in the case of Daihatsu, they could be made eligible because Daihatsus are no longer sold here new. Getting them on the register is one thing, getting them to meet ADRs is another entirely - from people who have tried with the Beat and the Cappuccino, apparently it's virtually impossible to meet ADRs.

I have seen the van version of that kicking around here a fair bit. as for getting one of those - find it pre 89 and knock your self out. plenty at the auctions and from what I can see - cheap as.

I've seen 2 cappuccinos on the streets of Melbourne :S

One red and the other yellow.

The Cappuccino and Beat were allowed in under the old compliance system pre-RAWS/SEVS, so they would've been in the country for at least 5 years now.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
