A guy at work is after an import for around $10k.

Can anyone:

A.) Recommend an Importer/Broker; and,

B.) Any idea of what he would get for that money? He's after a sedan, n/a, auto.

Positive comments only posted thanks. :(

Please PM me with the names of those Importers you wouldn't go near. :)

j-spec got me mine, and mine ain't performance... cefiro, laurels and steaga's are nice as far as nissan goes, then there's the eunos's that u can get, or a GTS4 non turbo r32... which is probably what i'd reccomend, a lil rare, but pretty cheap. J-Spec also go thru private sales in japan in addition to the auctions which they list on their website, so as long as he can wait for a month he should be able to get one. Maybe his budget might blow out to about 12k max

As far as 4 door imports go:

Toyota Chaser Tourer

Cresta

Mark II

Toyota Prius (think that's the enviroment friendly one)

... the Skyline R32 sedan has not been approved for import under current laws, so that is out of the question at this stage ... non-turbo Skyline R33 sedans do not meet the necessary power-to-weight ratio so they are not allowed either - you could almost get a non-turbo R33 coupe but that would blow the budget (you could almost get an automatic R33 GTS25t sedan for that price though)

There is not much that you can import as far as non-turbo's these days because of the 105kw/ton minimum requirement to be eligible under the SEVS import scheme ... 15 year and older is probably the place to look but there is not much that you would want in non-turbo .. here are the best options:

non-turbo Cefiro (not a bad car - probably the best choice)

Skyline R30 or R31 (hard to find in non-turbo)

RX7 series 4 (most are turbo and only 2 door)

You can import R32 GTS-T coupes without any problems, however the complaince prices are increasing as we speak because there are very few plates left - you can expect to pay around $2,400 for at the moment with prices probably rising to around the $3,000 within the next few weeks.

The R32 sedan is not allowed for import at this stage - it probably would be allowed under the new SEVS scheme, but I do not think anyone has submitted as application for it yet - even if it was approved the compliance would have to be done by RAWS workshop and the cost would be at least $4,000.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
