A quick update. Car arrived in Sydney early November and it's now at Comptune waiting for the compliance plate.

As part of compliance (I was told), the shop had to replace engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, new tyres, wiper blades and some child restraint brackets on the back seats. Are these quite standard procedures?

Any other items you guys would recommend to have replaced? First time importing a car so any tips and advices are welcome.

TIA!

Couple of photos from the compliance shop

Build Date = October, 1994.

Looks clean for its age :)

Got the Auction Sheet / Dealer Car Info?

And here are the build plate and auction sheet. Sorry for the delay.

Looks good Forged, the Auction Sheet matches quite accurately to what the car actually is.

Yes, as a part of compliance, they would be the standard procedures.

You would definitely change engine oil / oil, air, fuel filters so you know for sure it's running right + it's for your own good and the car.

I guess changing new tyres and wiper blade rubbers so they would meet to AUS Standards.

Child Restraints are just part of the AUS Complicating and ARD Laws.

I thought for a moment that wrxkilla may have recently bought that N1 with only 29,***Km on it at auction, but apparently not. It'll be interesting to see what country it has gone to though. ;)

It ended up in Brisbane at Motorman Imports, it's quite unbleieveable. Completely original down to the exhaust and verified as a N1. It's for sale for $150,000, I'll list it with the format on the first page and post more pics tomorrow (mods, I can remove the mention to it beign for sale if needed?). The price seems high but once you see the condition it's reasonable.

A couple of bits.........

Try to convince your compliancer to "forget" to install the side blinkers on the front guards.

Our cars look heaps better without them especially when Muppet's don't aligned them vertically to the GT badge.

Lastly, make sure you either keep the original rear speaker covers or make sure they don't drill through them when fitting the child anchorage points.

They are near impossible to source second hand and are NLA new.

My V-Spec II has a Nistune, Boost controller, 720cc Sard injectors, larger Walbro fuel pump, 3" exhaust with 3" high flow cats and rear resonator.

Tuned by Unigroup, 271rwks and feels and looks stock standard.

Looking forward to catching up soon.

Does anyone know what that V Spec N1 sold for at auction? If it is the car that i think that it is, they wanted $64,000 USD ex yard for it in Aichi, Japan. Would be very interested to know what it sold for at Auction.

Thanks mate. Good to have confirmation of what the auction sheet tells. I can only make out what some of the numerals mean. Is that grade B for the interior?

Cheers

If you have a personal preference for tyres etc, approach the compliance shop to see if they're agreeable.

End up having to source my own tyres. The shop couldn't find the correct sizing, they were going to put 225/45 on it. I went with Hankook S1 evo 245/45ZR17 99Y XL

Congrats on the VS II.

Pleased for you!

That looks awesome!

Thanks guys!

Yup 15 pics on Carsales.

Interesting outcome perhaps...

Thanks for the tips Bob. I'll call them on Monday to see what's the go with blinkers. Last time I was there they said all compliance work are complete just waiting for the plate to arrive now. The blinkers were definitely not done at the time.

Didn't really pay attention to the rear speaker covers. Hope that's not the case :verymad:

All good!

Yes, that's correct, "B" for Interior.

B = "Minor repairs are not necessary. The most popular grade for export. Very clean interior."

And your car scored a "4".

4 = "The car is under 150,000km The exterior may have some scratches / scrapes and dents.

The car is in above average condition. No Crash history. The interior may have some tears, cigarette burn marks, and / or stains.

They will require some minor repair. The auction sheet will tell us in more detail. Generally a 4 grade car is a good target and the most popular for export. Price range will be in the top 30%."

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
