Car was shipped from Nagoya through K Line.

We're in contact with shipping company now, but they seem to want to deny everything, even though we have pics of the items in the car at the port. :)

oh ok...so the parts werent logged before they left Japan? :huh:

I would say you have no chance of getting any compensation for that mate... the shipping company isn't going to take any responsibility, they never do, it could have been somebody at the wharf on either end, could have been a tow truck driver, could have been the pest controller... I had wheels and other stuff stolen before, never got anything back.

Your car's looking good, looks a bit odd with the stocko exhaust poking through the massive hole in the rear bar, hehe... but it has a bit of rust?

rust?? on the stocko exhaust or somewhere else? An aftermarket exhaust came with the car, thats going back on once it gets to melb. There's no way l can drive a stock quiet car, drives me insane.

yeah l pretty much know l won't get anything, jsut seeing what they say first.

oh.....found out what the rust was.....was some on where the spare wheel sits, and a little bit on one of the side mirrors, supposedly a common place for it.

But it'll be all gone & sprayed before l get it back so all good.

Got stock wheels (and zorst) on it too now to clear compliance & rego .... then back on goes the 18's & zorst soon as its done.

Oh yeah.....ian, l asked him bout the safety pop rivets, and all compliance plates are now stickers, not metal, so it doesn't matter!! :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Mine had a sticker as well (and a plate..), and it does still matter - they just won't except a sticker by itself, they will want it stamped in (in Vic). If they don't it just means who ever looked at your car isn't doing their job...

But forget vicroads, wouldn't you WANT it stamped in?! I'm certainly happy to have mine stamped! The guy around the corner from vicroads in dandenong did it for $20...

Stickers, wow, even easier to move them from car to car!

Mine is a plate, but my mates brand new WRX is a sticker. I noticed a lot of stickers on recent imports too

Pretty stupid if you ask me, to use stickers that is..

they are a single use sticker that cannot be removed in one piece ..they are a huge improvement on metal plates that can be removed and tranfered to another...not so STUPID really ..try and remove the sticker and see what happens...you will need statuatory declaration from from local dot,compliancer,and yourself + $80 to reapply for the plate you will destroy...have fun

What exactly were you refering to with that one? :)

Give me a week or so and l'll post up details, but for now l'll (and VRFour) are prolly best to leave it at that!

On another note, car is great to drive, hopefully have RWC tomorrow, and get it officially registered early next week (though l have my folio presentation so gotta work round that).

Then start bolting on & installing aftermarket parts and a stereo .... damn its boring driving without some music in the background.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
