Hey guys,

I've just bought myself a 32 GTR which i was led to beleive had previously been registered in aus and was complied ready to go, turns out this isn't true :(

So basically i need to put the car through transport and get an Australian VIN number stamped onto the chassis before i can proceed to register it, has anyone done this before? i'm really concerned about whats going to happen when it reaches transport as its had a little work done to it and is also a bit rough around the edges atm, the main concern i have though is it has an RB30 bottom end in it.

I'm also worried about the costs involved if they need to put side-intrusion bars in and change seatbelts, etc..

Any info will be appreciated,

Cheers,

Daniel.

Yeah i have a few times , does it have all the paperwork? (i.e import approval , engineers certificate if necessary , ais inspection ) , if it was a pre 89 , it will need aus spec seatbelts , babyseat bolts , r/h mirror in memory and usually the ais station puts the vin on the car with number/letter punch thingys

It's not a blue gtr with a odd looking front bar?

It did have an odd bar so yeah its it, its a 12/1990 model, i have the import document with the approval number, and its been to an AIS and had an inspection done, failed for tint, "unapproved suspension mods" (coilovers) and no australian compliance plate, tint has been removed, and the coilovers will be removed if it fails for it again where i'm going... just concerned about getting the compliance plate/vin number.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
