We imported a highly modified RX7 (T8834D, big motor, external fuel system etc) and used Kiwi to transport, and it was a success. Car even came with a note on the steering wheel in Japanese saying please do not start - highly tuned :P

Wow..

I hope they take the same kind of care with my car :)

Where was the final destination for your car - mine is being trucked from Brisbane down to Melbourne once the ship lands - is customs/quarantine performed in Brisbane or Melbourne?

My r32 just arrived in Brisbane on Sunday with kiwi and will be trucked to Melbourne. My broker said it goes through customs or whatever in Brisbane of course, and that will be between 3-7 days. The good thing is that it will be delivered directly to my door!

Very handy as I had a knee reco a couple of days ago...

cheers, Ben

I guess shipping with Kiwi isn't that bad then, it's just the delay that is a bit irritating. That and the car now apparently not being driveable.

Does anyone know the answer to my compliance question: ie from when the car arrives at my door, how long do i have until i need to have all the compliance work done under the 15y rule?

I had my car shipped via Kiwi. But when the missing parts and damage occurred cannot as yet be determined as it was in customs storage in Brisbane for 6 months, and then shipped to a bond storage yard in Sydney where it sat for a week before it was cleared for me to pick it up.

ocean, I might have a headlight or two for sale soon. I like the N1 headlights ;)

Actually, alot of GTR's have the catch can in front of the battery like that. This is more than likely due to not having a better option elsewhere in the engine bay. In my 32, the ABS has been removed and the catch can is in its place. The battery is also in the boot as there is something else that is in its place :P

If anyone can confirm what jetgts said about 100 days from clearing customs for compliance to be completed?

NXTIME: Let me know about the lights, although i may have already located one.

Patrick,

I just looked at pics of your car and realised that it has N1 headlights, so you will need either a LHS N1 or two standard GTR ones. Maybe you can find one in Japan and put it in the car if it hasn't left there yet.

Bugger. How do you identify the standard vs the N1 ones? I didn't know they were different.

Edit: are these the standard headlights? http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...ck/img/7056.jpg

Well I was told my car would come here using Kiwi but now its not going to happen.

Umm Morgs, that wasn't imported by your gf was it? A white RX7... the one that gave me a splitting headache after it was driven from Sydney down to Melb? I had the pleasure of trying to get the Apexi gauges on it to work the other day :cheers:

ocean... there's no set time limit in VIC (it varies from state to state). for a 15 yr old car you can take your sweet buggery time or cut it in half n sell it or put it in your backyard for a couple of years or do whatever you want to do with it. With SEVS vehicles the car's not allowed to leave the compliance centre and not allowed to be in your possession till its complied.

there's only 1 N1 headlight, but there's a poverty pack headlight that looks remarkably similar (cept the inner light isn't a projector)

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
