No, if the car has already been imported and an import approval issued for this chassis number, it remains the same even if you export it to NZ and then bring it back. Say you bring this in as a race/rally import then suddenly there's a compliance plate for it so you send it over to NZ or Japan even then bring it back...no that doesn't work. Call DoTaRS to verify my little piece of info

Heya Kristian, if you can get the car here in one piece for that amount I'm very interested. I don;t have a cams level 3 license to be able to import the car as a race car myself, but if you can arrange it, I can arrange the cash :rofl:

Kristian,

Not having a shot at you or your business by any stretch but were you seriously intending to import this car and perhaps take a deposit/full payment from someone without even checking to see if compliance plates are available for 99 TT RZ's?

Isn't that the first thing you'd check / already know being in the business?

Compliance plates are available for 1999 Supras in Melbourne.

I only just found out that THIS car was not able to be complied when I went to purchase the compliance plates.

You might also like to know that I took paymentof $26,000 for this car last week, and when we found out it could not be complied, we gave back a FULL refund.

Japanese Import Parts provides 100% refunds when the customer does not get what they pay for.

You might like to consider a PM next time to check all the facts before you assume and post up in the thread.

Didn't assume a single thing. Thought that was obvious by the questions I asked and the fact that I started the post with, "Not having a shot at you or your business by any stretch." I am very pleased to see that an SAU advertising business such as Japanese Import Parts is a responsible, law-abiding company. It is a pleasure to know that a company associated with SAU refunded the $26k as you were obliged to.

Have a great day :spank:

Adrian

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
