Can anyone please help me out, my future bro in law is experiencing some delay in receiving his 33T apparently going by what the guy said, compliance plates are taking long to get hold of, but how long is long? and is it true, the car is ready but its waiting on the plate. The car has been in compliancing for about 3 weeks I just wanna make sure that the guy is not ****ing him around.

this guy keeps telling him definetly this time but when that time comes he uses that excuse so I don't think the guy has any idea himself its no good telling him any day. I just told him to be patient and once u get u'll love it and will forget about the delay.

If approval has been granted by Canberra then the actual plate should only take 3-4 days. I believe they are made by Niddery Nameplates in Sydney, I can get the phone no. if needed. To get details of the actual plate you will need the compliers CPA no. and the Chassis no.

It is more likely the complier is holding the process up, for whatever reason.

My Car arrived in the country on 13th May. I still haven't got it.

Granted there has ben some work done to it but I think it was signed off for compliance a month or so ago. They've had to change the details on the comp forms I think so its taking extra long. Gotta be the most frustrating wait ever. Am ready to condiser finding another "Line" which has its plates already.

Grrr

It's true that dealer are all scrambling to pick up the last of the plates under the old system, but if your car has been signed off by canberra then there should be no delay. They couln't have your car signed off without a plate, this is not the actaul plate that goes on the car, so if it has been signed off then there should be no reason not to have your car. I would be around there every day hounding them to find out what is going on.

Or you can ring the Approvals center in Canberra, or Niddery Nameplates to find out what the hold-up is.

The situation is like this: the complier needs to have plate for your type of vehicle, he then complies the vehicle to meet the ADR's, send the forms to canberra for approval, once he has approval he can send off for the plate to attach to your car, once he attaches the plate to your car then it should be yours.

It may be that he couldn't get hold of a plate for your car, as they are becoming scarce, therefore this is the holdup. You need to find out at what stage the process is at, then ring the relevant body to determine if it is true or not.

I thought you had to get the plate at the very start, in order to get import approval. Then the import approval allows you to bring the car into the country. Once the car is complied and approved by the engineer, you then send off this approval and get the compliance plate stamped in canberra?

Yes you have to have a plate for the type of car being brought in, otherwise the car will get scrapped on arrival, but there are lots of dodgey deals with people swapping plates, so a car can arrive and then the complier won't actually have a plate for it. The whole process takes my mates, who are compliers, 2-3 weeks. Therefore if 2-6 months later you don't have a car, then something very dodgey is going on.

My car was finished compliance on the 5th of December, which is when the paperwork was sent off to Canberra I believe.

So I've been waiting about a month now. I wonder when the plate making place opens after xmas. Starting to get sick of waiting!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
