Too put it plain and simple the Administrator and the documents that will bring into act the changes of the 15 year rule are set in stone,

This is not a rumour or an assumption it is stating a fact from the horses mouth so you know what will happen as of JAN next year.

SEVS only vehicles will be allowed in under the ruling,

It will be vehicles built from Jan 1989 or newer,

Only a RAWS workshop will be allowed to import a maximum of 100 eligible vehicles.

The RAW is responsible to bring the vehicle up to state transport requirements,

No Mercs, BMW's, RX7's, MX5's, 80 Series Land Cruisers, MR2's, Patrols, High lux, Surf's, commercials and those other cars that flooded our shores.

It is a post to inform you not let you get up on the band wagon and posting from the champs site, as it means 90 model R32's, 300Z and other vehicles will be allowed in,

Don't shoot the messenger.

well atleast there letting some cars in! what about cefiro's,silvia's and laurels? and other 89 model cars?

We can only hope not...

BTW anyone want to by a cefiro :):mad:

Yeah, not too unexpected by anybody I wouldn't imagine.

With a senate majority goodbye to imports really over the next few years as they can push through whatever they like unopposed now. Oh well, thats what the Australian population voted, and I am sure some of you here - so this is what you get :mad:

Don't shoot the messenger.

*loads gun*.. oh, oops :)

This says personal imports are gone as of 1/1/2005 (apart from cars owned 12 months + OS ??). The RAWS will pick the cars they want and thereby control the market and the price. I can only see prices being driven up by this move, remembering that commercial car yards will be wanting cars as well as private buyers.

RAWS workshops will be happy as a potentially greater market share for them. Sad day for the true enthusiasts.

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
