Re-exporting parts

Hi guys,

My car is coming in pretty soon and I really don't want to lose my xenon lights during compliance. I was reading the RAWS manual and it says that you can re-export or destroy the parts. Are there any restrictions on re-exportation? As in, can I send them to a friend in New Zealand, and then get him to send them back to me? Or does it have to go back to Japan?

Cheers,

Michael

can goto NZ i presume, may be an expensive excercise tho wouldnt it?? :S

I always thought you just had to replace all the parts on it with stock stuff to comply it if its under SEVS...

how would it work and they be able to check it if you brought over a container with ur car and said it had all the aftermarket parts sittin in the back seat or the boot??? like im bringin parts in for mine that i have accumulated that while i have been over there but arent on the car yet, but also, my car doesn't need to go through SEVS compliance...

It'd be expensive, but probably not as expensive as rebuying the headlights.

The xenon lights don't comply, even though they're stock. It sucks, but that's SEVS for you.

I really don't know how it would work if the parts were in the car. I'd say they wouldn't worry about them. I can't exactly bring the car in without headlights though.

You buy or borrow some Halogen ones and keep the Xenons at home. You do not have to destroy or export them. Any workshop that says you do is trying to stiff you. After your car is complianced and on the road, what you do with the xenons is up to you.

There is a user on here called Drifft or something like that who posted up info on this quite recently.

Yeah I just read that thread, but then read the RAWS guide that he posted, which seemed to indicate export or destroy were the only options. So I was a little confused.

If I could find someone that had Chaser halogens, I'd put them on it and hope for the best.

He's definitely right that they are MY lights, so what I do with them is up to me though.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!

      Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
