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.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
