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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
