Hi Guys

Ive imported a fully approved 15 year old R32 GTST which now sits in my shed. Does anyone know if you have to have the car engineered complied and registered within a certain amount of time once its in the country.

I intend to do the work my self including other mods but dont want to got through Engineering cert and rego until 12 months down the track.

Cheers

Mad

I don't think there is a time limit.....but with these new laws...I have no idea. Worst comes worst, you'd have to comply/register by January 2006 at the earliest (that's when the new importation laws are enforced) don't know how that will effect compliance regulations...

One of my mates has an early model 89 model GTR in his garage, still hasn't complied or registered. I know there no exact time frame that is given once the car is in Australia.

Mad Murf,

No time limit at all for when it has to be signed off, but if rule changes come in saying who has to do the work it is the only hitch you might get, you only have 30 days to register after passing inspection.

I will be at Technical Section at the pits on Monday and I will get a answer and post it for you, remind me still as I have a lot on.

After I get correct info I will give you details of who to get it in writing of if need be.

Nigel.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
