Hello,

Just moved to Australia (QLD) from Okinawa Japan and I was able to successfully import my 96' GT-R 33 under the personal import rules. Well, I say successfully, but it was damaged and vandalized at the wharf (My welcome to OZ moment). I have been going through the thrash of learning the differences with things here in Australia (fuel, oil, GTR parts, etc.) and hope that you guys can be a help to me, and I can offer whatever assistance I can.

I have owned this GTR for 5 years and the best thing about bringing it to OZ as a personal import is I didn't have to 'stock it out' before it left OKI for compliance. So it is built and tuned, although I would like to get it checked out by some reputable dudes who know the RB26.

If you guys have any bones to throw my way about shops, Brizzy to Ipswich area, a good place to find parts, it would be much appreciated! In the meantime, I have been getting everything sent to me from Japan, but it would be nice to cut the wait times down when I can.

Welcome to Queensland, very sad to hear your GTR was vandalised.

Depending on the parts you want will depend on where you go. Kudos Motorsport are good for local parts, amayama if you want genuine parts and can wait. Also aftermarket parts are often cheaper to buy in Japan and ship over than local shops.

Hope to see you at some events.

Gavin woods at Labrador is a Nissan specialist with lots of experience,

probably the most honest and genuine guy you'd want touching your RB26, he owns and drives a 33GTR that was used for Targa Tasmania, there's a lot of workshops in Brisbane that will rip you off big time, don't take the risk...

I never saw any comment, none of us have mod powers so it must have been one of the site mods.

I didn't see a comment? Our only mod is rarely here anyway so he wouldn't have removed it?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
