Danny - Got the car ok ..... looks cleaner then i thought it would be, the respray is much better then i expected and far better condition then i thought judging by the photos.

Found a few little extra mods that weren't listed too :)

Will let you know how it goes when its tuned and all sorted, the whole way home i kept it below 4k and only got 0.3bar boost (just to be safe until had tune and afr's checked) so i am anxious as waiting until i can rev it and hit full boost :D

Daniel - Sorry hadn't replied, my computer died and i just got it going again tonight.

How long is your compliance looking at taking?

recieved an email from Ben at J-spec, saying that for 15yr imports the car has to be registered BEFORE compliance, in the same state that you are getting the car complied in. So me having the car complied in Brisbane won't be possible.

Just thought I'd let you all know :)

yeah, that doesnt make sense at all.

The Car cant be registered in your state until complianced. Compliance has to happen first.

Then Your states Blue Slip/Roadworthy whatever then registered at the rego office.

Not sure about the having to be complied in the same state you are registering it tho???

anyone confirm that? i thought it could be complied anywhere? then taken to your state...

foznice: yeah definitely agree with these guys, you are not allowed to drive an uncomplied car on the road at all! Even with dealer plates. I'm sure about the compliance and registering in different states. I would say though that it wouldn't matter for 15y.o imports and it makes the car adhere to AUSRALIAN design rules (ADR). Not sure though.

Should have the car back from compliance friday morning. Then get a quick phoneworthy and off to queensland transport in the afternoon to register it.

Jamie, Hows it going with the self compliance?

Sorry guys, photos still to come.

from everything i have heard/ read and am going through atm with my car, the car can be complied in any state, however, you must have an engineers cert for the state you plan to register. for eg, im getting car complied in qld, and the price aparently includes qld engineers, but i said i need nsw cert as i live in nsw. and he said he will have to organise it. i cannot walk into RTA and say i want this car registered, here is my qld mod plate for compliance.

Alright guys here are the pics of the car!

As you can see from the one in the container it came over pretty dirty, but after a quick tub it came up really good.

Just can't wait to get it on the track now!

cleaned up nicely, the paint color looks heaps different after you gave it a wash.

ahhh the self compliance - it will be a while. i have to get my other car ready to sell before i start on the gtr so it will be a while yet. If i start on the gtr now i won't want to work on the other car (getting turbos rebuilt, oil seals gone i think) as its not a fun job.

Hey Rylan,

I think you misunderstood, the car needs to be complied according to the regulations of each particular state, so for all intents and purposes it needs to be complied in the same state it will eventually be registered. A car can't be registered unless it is complied first, not the other way round :P

1st weekend with the car registered was awesome! God I love this machine.

Got the seasts and the cage mod plated so no dramas there! The lady at queensland transport was like "it;s a bit low isn't it" and i'm like arrrr here is my roadworthy! Which the guy who did was a champ!

Yes we had some difficulties getting the car out of the container. We had to modify the ramps with wooden blocks and the front bar still scraped! I can't get it in any driveway, mine or my girlfriends. But it's worth it, looks phat.

Going to try and get a tune this week then hopefully to the track on Friday night for dorifto!

Looking good Daniel,

SPEWING we didn't catch up! I was hoping you would call back, I had reception problems with my phone and recieved too many calls to remember which one you called me from :D

I wanted to battle you in my Sonata down the Spit! but you would have needed floaties to get there! Queensland........ perfect one day half a metre under water the next! I had to give the footpath a good work out to get in and out of Seaworld Nara Resort, the sonata sucked the big one but felt ok with the foot down and the hand brake up!!

Blipman....... I will slap you tomorrow... :thumbsup:

Jamie, good to hear the car is as good as we thought, would be great to see what it puts to the ground, ... or dyno rollers.

Yeah would have been good to catch up!

We couldn't get out of our street, we had Niagra Falls in the back yard and The River Wild just down the road.

I emailed you and Ben to see if you can chase up any more info about the car from Japan. She will be gracing the pages (and hopefully the cover) of one of the next two drift battle magazines! We are doing the photoshoot next week so I am busy ordering and fitting all the cool stuff I need. i.e HKS Turbo!

I have to pretty up to dodgy rolled guards as well! The paint has a wicked blue metallic in it that you can't see from photos, which is cool but is making the paint hard to match.

-Daniel

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
