I went through the pits at dickson today and i got knocked back due to not having an "engine tune up sticker" also for not having an english owners manual and i need all the japanese stickers replaced with english stickers.

Does anyone know where to get a tyre placard in english for the r32 gtr?

They also asked for me to provide stock track measurements from nissan

Seems as if the pits are having a bad day today. I can't be of help, however, I'm interested to know what the "Engine tune up sticker" is for and why you need it?

when I took mine in, I had a replacment sticker made up re the wheel info (drivers 'B' pillar). Nissan should be able to provide you with any generic under bonnet stickers.

you should still be able to get the PDF of the owners manual somewhere. I've only got a printed workshop manual at home. honestly I fail to see how an owners manual is required - most second hand cars don't have them...

This might sound stupid. But is there nowhere else to take the car apart from Dickson?

Not for Interstate cars. Dickson is the only place :( A few people will tell you that any certified mechanic can do the inspection but be prepared to do it again at Dickson. Also, Dickson is extremely known for 'Not knowing their stuff'. I would probably suggest for you to take it in, get what needs to be fixed (Ignore the stupid stuff that you know is correct - A few to mention. UV Glass gets mistaken for tinted glass - UV Glass is factory - legal. BOV being plumed back - they will claim it's not when it is. I wouldn't argue it) but on the 2nd time bring back paper work from a mechanic or Nissan saying it is factory or "plumed back" this is normally free but some may charge for it( this is not a mechanic cert).

Also, the list of fixes that they supply is only valid for 31 days - so get that list completed ! haha

Helga and I are very familiar with Dickson now :( Rosie is up next !

They better not call back my car. Otherwise im fooked.

From July 1st all imports must go through dickson motor registry, they are cracking down pretty hard at the moment and recalling imports back again to make sure they stay "roadworthy"

Pretty sure it's not optional...

When do you get your car back Chris?

Potentially the end of the week, otherwise next week. They'll call me later this week with an update :D

only a small percentage of cars on the roads are NOT imported - do they intend to check every BMW, Toyota, Hyundai??? or, are they are only interested in grey imports...

where is the policy statement about that? talk about harassment, I'd be contacting the media and putting it around on the forums if that's the case. I have mine inspected yearly and fail to see how it can't be roadworthy given I do less than 100km a year.

crap -. I don't know what an engine tune up sticker is, I don't have an English owners manual, no jap sticker or English in the engine bay.

and the Tyre placard in English has gone missing.

far out - tuff on you.

But what about the brakes, rim sizes, oil leaks, blinkers, seats, seat belts, child restraints, lights, decibels etc...

the other stuff is BS...

in other news had bay sprayed with engine in (cos it cost too much to remove to tidy up).

Used to be dull grey, now same as body colour (black lower firewall as easier)

Hopefully done before the weekend

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
