You would be better to buy or order direct through an importer that regularly brings front and rear cuts in.

I suggest looking at Just Jap in Sydney - www.justjap.com

Its highly likely they already have what you want or can get it

SUPERBUMP!!!!

I am looking into a half cut myself (Stagea RS4) but, as mentioned above, the prices they are quoting are simply ridiculous. They are quoting the FOB price of a complete car just for a half cut FFS!

Also, due to the fact that it is 4WD, is there any way at all of bringing in a complete car just for parts? Its not essential, but the attessa ontroller / pump etc is all located in the rear cargo area so a half cut is kinda limited use only, and I NEED the panel work, but I would LIKE all the other gear as well, as I own a series 1 but I would like to bring in a Series 2 (Neo eng etc etc)

Any advice would be most appreciated.

well a half cut comes from a whole car. to get a half cut you have to buy a whole car, then cut it in half. it's not like they can go to auctions and say: "I like that car, can I just take the front half and give you half the asking price..." add to that the cost of cutting the thing up, then shipping it... etc etc.

My point is though, that once you cut a car in half it is no longer worth the same a a whole car. Also, I am looking at places here in australia and I know that they don't pay for a whole car when they import a half cut, so why the hell should I? You just need to look at the auction results to see the proof.

Anywhoo, I am trying to find people that are able to help me import either my own half cut, or an entire car even, with no intention at all to ever try and get it complied or licenced. I understand that there is a fair bit of difference in customs and duty though. Can anyone confirm this?

With out sounding rude it will never happen unless you want to spend more doing it your self compared to buying it direct off Just Jap even when their in a bad mood and want drug money, it isn't as simple as some people think, I know people in Japan involved in this industry and they would rather have tea with their Japanese wifes 70 year old mother when the other option is cut and pack half cuts into containers in the stinking heat.

Again as I say if it is that easy everyone would be doing it and you wouldn't need to ask questions.

if it's being used as a parts car would customs even need to know about it??

it's not going to be registered anyway so why would it matter??

stupid question but that's the way i see it.

Pretty simple really. For the assessment and payment of all duties and taxes applicable as a result of importation into Australia.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
