the contact details is on the last page of the import approval doc u fill out.

They actually say on the answering machine thingo when you call that 'unnecessary enquirys may delay issuing your import approval' .

Not sure what to take of that, what do they do when you call them? put your approval on the bottom of the pile???

yeah just received my IA as well on monday.. faxed it thru on the afternoon of the 31st of September. so taking around 3 weeks to get here. been waiting to send that since Feb this year.. long wait coming to a end

I got my approval, contacted J-spec and was told basically. "Fux knows when it will get on a boat. They're all full." :hellpisd:

Oh joy, gonna be like last year when I finally picked up my 33 on Xmas eve, 17 weeks after I bought it in Japan. :boohoo:

ok so is there only one shipping company that comes to aus?

I just faxed mine in this morning (twice to make sure) and at lunch am going down to get an express post bag so they have the originals of my doco

man I was hoping to drive the f#$^*( thing before xmas. this was my present to myself :D

mark

mark, i'm in the same boat.

Give dotars a call (the number is on your import approval paperwork) and make sure they have received it, ask them how long it should take.

Tell your supplier in japan to find out when the next ship leaves that has space on it. There is a ship leaving early December, im trying to get my car booked on that, even though i don't have the approval yet.

Faxing is definately quicker at the moment.

I sent my application express post on 29/9 and received it today 1/11

As for shipping apparently up to 85% of car carrying ships is allocated to new cars atm

and everyones trying to get a space.

You do have the option of putting a car in a container as they leave weekly instead of at

the end of the month,but this will add at least a k to the cost.

Btw next ship to dock in freo is the Arcadia Hwy

13th NOV

well i just got an email from Geoff and he said that only 2 out of the 5 cars he had booked on the ship made it onboard.

the 3 were bumped off. he'll let us know who made it and who didnt. knowing my luck, mine will be sitting on the docks. :(

he also said that the next boat will be 4 weeks away.

steve

hope thats not the case steve

I have emailed craig this morning, I got my IA faxed through to dotars yesterday morning at 7am

then sent the originals xpress post for arrival today

I don't know how long the form takes, but I assume if they could get it on the next boat (like they were trying I beleive) then the form would be back to me before the car arrives

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
