For those people bringing in modified cars under SEVS and expecting everything to be right well this is the go.

Before the vehicle is delivered to the workshop ensure it is back to standard not "that should be right just sort it later".

If the workshop replaces aftermarket parts oficialy it has to be replaced with new parts, not all do it but ones that do can hit you with a big bill.

This was confirmed with DOTR's they are the final decision with what they say is fact and not fiction.

All non conforming parts are to be returned to the owner of the vehicle if requested,

Parts are not to be Destroyed automatically as Export is an option,

Common Law under ownership of parts over rides the Federal Legislation,

Only new parts are to be fitted to a vehicle if replacing non conforming parts,

Parts from a different model are not to be used especially ones that leak (Soarer Suspension in a Supra),

Destroying and exporting of non conforming parts is to do with the RAW owning the vehicle not a third party.

A couple of people are having problems with Greedy workshops which is why I posted this, at worst you sign a Stat Dec saying you own the parts and you want them back as the car is standard and complyied.

It is under review but this is how it stands at the moment.

These links can help out a bit more,

yes. Read into what he is saying.

He is saying that the car must be standard when it is presented to the RAW for compliance ie. you can make the car standard before it gets to the RAW, then they will comply it as a standard car.

i thought you couldnt even see the car until it was complied?

soooo i could import a worked R34 GTR..

get it delived to my place after customs, put it back to standard MYSELF.. get it towed to the complience workshop... get it complied/registered

then put all the mods back on it?

what if it has forged pistons etc (internal work that cant be seen)

would that have to be changed?

I was pretty sure you didn't have a chance to get your mits on it at all.. had to go straight from docks to compliance centre.

With 15 year cars you could do what you liked before compliance. SEVS is a more integrated process.

It is a question like "how long is a piece of string".

Depends on the state you live in depends on what workshop you deal with,

Depends if you can even find the standard parts as for some cars it is very hard,

If they are going as far as pistons their will be a lot of other work done to it so do you want to get the car here and then go shit I dont have that bit and order it new,

Guy's are getting ripped or given the run around on simple things like suspension and wheels let alone some of the other parts you are thinking about.

If it isnt trained monkey bits to swap over and you are unsure DONT buy it unless you can afford a lot of bits from Nissan.

It wont be long and the ruling will be straight to the work shop from the dock.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?

      I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer

      Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
