Ok, so those who've seen it know I have LOST MY PAPERS.
Rego, transfer, etc.

Now - I'm sure we've all seen/done/known a bodgied rego purchase receipt.
So that's out of the way.
I CANNOT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. :/


Ok - so here's the deal - the GTR has been registered in Australia for over 6 years previously - and the rego was cancelled before I bought it, so it is a completely clear title.
It is an import, so it has been cleared etc, as it was regoe'd before.

So, normally it could be re-registered yes?
As long as I have receipt of purchase and clear VIN.

Or is there a time limit for imported vehicles before I require the import duties?
Or as it has been regoe'd and cleared before I just re-rego on the clear VIN?


Simply - regoe'd before, lost papers, imported vehicle, wanna re-register in about 2 or three years.

If I can't re-rego it.
I will have to strip it for parts - which I REALLY don't want to do. :(

It is a low volume import? The one that needs compliance. Should have a green or purple compliance plate/sticker in the engine bay (depending when compliance was done).

If it is a personal import you may have some trouble (personal import is when you own the car for more than 12months overseas...) I'm guessing yours would have been a normal low volume import.

You'll be fine unless you can't access the engine number. I once had a car that needed the physical engine number sighted even though it was an ex Australia Post van that only had its rego cancelled because it sold at auction. Needless to say I didn't get the engine number sighted as that would have reqired an engine out job, got a mate to "sight it". That was back in 2002 though.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
