Hi,

With regard to importing a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R...how much would I be expecting to pay a genuine non accident damaged car with low km's lightly modified with rims, exhaust etc (less than 80,000kms genuine)...in colour blue, or black....or a genuine non accident damaged S15 which has been nicely modified by a good tuning shop with low kms genuine and looks JDM. Also if it was a modified car is there any way compliance shops can pass it without reverting it back to stock (I saw edward lees imported a 900hp r34 gtr midnight purple III).

and Manual transmission.

modded cars and heavily modded cars cost money to bring in. if youare considering it I would speak to a shop about it before you commit to buying your dream car. I have been privy to a few modded cars and they had to revert to stock to get cleared. wouldnt it be easier to buy one already here?

Cars have to be stock when being complied to ADRs. I assume the man who bought that R34 GT-R is very, very rich and decided he wanted the parts put back on. Compliance Workshops will only really turn a blind eye to simple modifications like an exhaust, non-standard wheels, body kit - that sort of thing; when it comes to the engine, it has to be standard. As mentioned by the Chris, if you want something modified... why not just buy locally?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

      Just a heads up. Mine has just failed. When i turn the car on it just reboots everytime then the word "Android" shows up then goes to a black screen. I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
