local MP usually helps. Personally everyone's tried the "lets bombard them with mail, faxes n calls n see what happens" approach and nothing happened, so I'd say, suck it in and work with what you're given. Not like you can un-ammend an Act anyways, last time that happened it took about 5 years.

Wrong.

Here is the link I received directly from the dept. this morning at 11.04am

So I think it is either law today, or will be from the end of today (ie tommorrow).

Screwed by the government yet again...

Ian

yep, for over a year we haven't been able to get ONE sensible reply from the government - I hope you all remember that at the next election!!

And even before then, lets keep hitting them with faxes and emails, they have been *%#$@*& about this whole issue, and we shouldn't let them forget it!

:P oh look... spilt milk.

im still waiting for one...

So you've submitted one then? As long as you've submitted it by today then you'll be sweet. I e-mailed DOTARS and made sure mine had been approved... [email protected] - drop them a line.

i havent got my dereg papers to them yet, so i will just call em up a few days after i fax that through

Drew, make sure you send in your import approval by tonight, and put us as your agent, so that DOTARS can contact us when they need the paperwork. It'll work out a lot easier.

well... im incredibly tense and on edge now.... theres one last chance.. a car that should be going for auction soon.. talked to ben not long ago and he said it was going on auction in half an hour... he said he would get back to me.. so if that car works out ok im going to bid on it. and if i win he said i can get import approval tonight.. if im very very very lucky.. fingers crossed everyone .. wish me luck

Does this mean that R32 and other "15 year rule" vehicles already in Australia will become more valuable? I mean, before it was fair enough to say "why pay $$$$$ for a local one when you can just import one which will have more mods and less kms..." now there isn't much choice in the matter. Reducing the amount of available stock means what stock IS available (those already in australia) will increase in value right? Because it doesn't make much sense to import one through SEVS when it costs a lot more, and modifications must be removed.

Edit: I get emails from prestige motorsport and apparently things have been crazy today with people jumping in left right and centre at their last chance to get a pre-SEVS '89 or '90 car.

Actually, I think it will have the exact opposite effect. The market for them will dry up and move on to other things ie there will be more r33 compliance places, which will bring the price down for them. So the people on this site who have been saying they agree with the changes, as it will push up the price of what they own, are going to be in for a bit of a surprise in the medium term...

The best thing for prices is normally a healthy market and lot's of interest. Both of those things are going to decrease without the new supply available.

Lets come back to this thread in 12 months and see if I'm right!

Ian

I disagree..

Things will settle more.. but prices will go up or hold for a fair while.. like they did when SEVS stopped the R33's being fully modified.

There will always be a market for a few of the different cars like R32, cefiro, etc as there is less of them around than R33.. Already you'd ask "why is an R32 sold for only $2k less than an equivelent R33?" - but they do and have for quite a while. But maybe they will come down a bit.

R33 are saturation point, a mass market item - there will always be a niche for the other cars.

We will see :-) And I disagree about the R33, they aren't anywhere near saturation!

Losing the mods wasn't the same situation - as mods never seemed to be properly priced in anyway..

The R32 will always remain a special car! But without new supply, quite a few people are going to move on to something else...

yeah i applied about a week ago.. i have let ben know and he said he will sort it

    • 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.
