I haven't been in contact with them at all. Thought they were just going to ring me instead.... Well my experience is that I haven't heard anything back from them whatsoever. Am I supposed to contact them to help finish the process?

Anyone got their cars yet. I forgot to sign my aircon exemption so It had to be signed and sent back to my customs officer on wednesday - not sure how much that is gonna delay the release of my car. Also I find it strange that some brokers can get away without lodging an a/c exemption and still not have to degas.

No I haven't got my car yet. I'm waiting very impaciently for my Bill of Lading to be sent through. Without it I am unable to complete the paperwork for customs and unable to book for a customs inspection. Very VERY frustrating...

Got my car today, didn’t go though the degas shit everyone seems to have issues with.

I just asked my import broker to see what he can do, to get the car released without it been degassed or sign that air con exemption. All Good.

Nothing stolen.

It idles great that’s all I’ve done.

Ill try to get some dealer plates so I can run it out to Maddington to get complianced. Should be a good run on Japanese fuels and a loud exhaust, while it last.

Oh and boy oh boy, the car is beyond my expectations. A picture here is located here

I will try and get better ones when my digital camera decides to work better, the colours it is giving are rather dull and not what is really seen in real life.

I haven't got my car yet!

I am fuming!  I havent got my bill of lading yet either!  everytime i speak to geoff he insists it will be here tomorrow! 10 days later and i still dont have it.

I'm really upset with this matter. I'm with holding my payment of the storage costs of Japan ($371) until this matter is sorted out. Hopefully will get me some leverage in the matter.

Is anyone else still waiting for there car to get offloaded from freo? I only just got the B/L papers last tuesday. Should hopefully have it by next week after easter. So frustrating and I'm getting so impacient!

I used a custom broker too not an agent. Only paid 150$ inc gst in service fees, every other cost was cost price from customs, even got the invoice from customs address to myself c/o 'Continental Freight Services". Great for a tax right off. [i hope]

The way to go.

I have been having the same problem with Geoff, Tyler.

I finally picked up my car today, a Black Cefiro. I was pissed off it took them so long to ****en get the B/L. alot of bullshit if you ask me.

Just another way to get more cash out of me as far as I see it. Now my cefiro is going to cost me at least 2k more than it should have.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
