Hey guys,

does anyone know how long the compliance process takes?

my car arrived on the 14th of June to Australia, it's in compliance now, and its oviously been there for over a week. I just wanna get an estimate as to how much longer i have to wait to see it! :)

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

personally I tell people 4 weeks. gov turn around on paperwork and also nidrie's turnaround on providing plates are both highly variable. so yeah as quick as 2 weeks as long as 4 should be about right. I know it's hard but try not to call the poor buggers every day to ask how it's going. believe me as soon as it's ready they'll call you. they do want to get paid after all.

Mine took literally 2 days to comply, including installing the FM Expander, and then they waited about 10days for the compliance plate to arrive. I was happy until I found out today that the next boat from Brisbane to Perth is on the 9th of July. :(

Quick unrelated question (please dont get mad), I am guessing that the car will have only been driven a very small amount in the months leading up to arriving in Perth, so would people suggest just filling it up with a tank of BP Ultimate or having it serviced?? When I bought my Series 8 RX7 the dealer said that it still had Japanese fuel in it, which he said is much higher quality than Australian Fuel, so I should fill it up with 98 octane straight away. I am guessing/hoping that the Compliance Workshop would have changed the oils and other fluids but this is something that I havent really thought about until now. I actually thought that I was just paying a couple of thousand $$$ to have a plate bolted to the engine bay....can anyone tell me if they should be doing what you could almost call a "minor service" on it?

Cheers

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      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!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      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.
