My son who has an exemption to drive a "High Powered Vehicle" an RS4, needs to get a separate exemption to drive a "Moderately Powered Vehicle", an R32GTST. The mind boggles! I guess it is one way to get an extra $36.15 in the Govt coffers.

DOT will now only accept Factory Manual information. The usual sites on the net, including car forum notes are no longer be accepted. Only info from Nissan.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to get these specs?

I suspect it's not that easy....in Oz Govt eyes the manufacturer is the RAWS that complied it, not Nissan.

In any case, I am not aware of an English workshop manual for R32 GTST.

He can't be the first person in the state that has requested a 32 GTST exemption, is re-using existing information out of the question?

usually p-plater's write a letter (or email) to Nissan Japan, requesting the required info needed.

Link below provides some info

DOT specifically said info from Redbook is not accepted.

The thing that pings me is that some elderly gent on a brand new Harley ran into the back of the 32 while it was stationary behind two other cars that had stopped to let someone reverse out of a driveway. The rider had not been on a bike for 20 years, yes 20 years. He just ran into the back of the 32.

The bike was stuffed, the rider really stuffed, the 32 suffered no damage, the bike hit the tow hook. The law went balistic and want to charge my youngun

with driving a "Moderately Powered Vehicle" with`out an exemption. Fark, he can legally drive a Stagea with a bunch of goodies, but can't ride a push bike.

I guess I must get onto Nissan Japan, but from what I have read here I think I am farked.

HELP

There is an E-mail with the @nissan.co.jp domain

Can't recall it but they say that the team on there are useful and speak English and get back to you within 24 hours.

Try asking them.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
