Hi Guy's

I have a R33 GTS-25t that I imported into NZ that can't be complied even though it has Dual airbags and is a 1996 Series 2. (We have different rules to you guys)

My cousin lives in Sydney and is interested in buying it but Im not sure on the exact process for sending a car into Aus, I realise there is 10% duty and 10% GSt but what other costs are involved?

Who in sydney can comply R33's and any idea on approx costs?

Basically don't want to send him a car and then him not be able to do anything with it, so need to try and sort out as much as I can before it goes.

Cheers

James

Go here and search for who can comply R33s, there are plenty of workshops who can do so.

Costs

- cost of car

- freight

- customs duty = 10% x (cost of car plus cost of freight)

- gst = 10% x (cost of car plus cost of freight+customs duty)

- customs and quarantine clearance fees

(approx $500 if you go through a customs agent)

- cost of compliance through a RAWS (was $4000 when I got my car, I think it's a lot cheaper now)

Just remember that under the SEVS scheme, the car cannot be accident damaged (there are very small tolerances for accident damage, best to be safer than sorry), and the car must be returned to stock at compliance.

You need to speak to one of those workshops, see if they will work with the car to comply it. They would probably want to know about any mods / damage to the car before they make an undertaking to comply it.

Thanks guys will get in touch with them, The car was auction grade 4 so is pretty tidy, when you say no accident damage, your meaning siginifcant damage i.e chassis/rust etc.

Im fairly confident on that front it shouldbe fine.

Will let you know how I get on.

Email Zoran it [email protected] sending him the auction report and your cousins details and he will be able to comply it.

If it is a good car it is simple as, tell him you got the contact info off the Skyline Forum as well.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
