well it's a big deal for me cos i want to import a R34 GT-T in about 7-8 months. Luckily R34 compliance costs are already fairly expensive, and it won't go up too much. But i have to find a mod-free car as to avoid the extra costs of removing them all. Plus the whole process is apparently going to take longer, quite a bit longer.

don't baby our automotive industry by pratically killing off the import one. Make it easy for cars to be imported, give ppl the choice when it comes to buying a car. Let them find out there are better cars for less money, then let the car makers in australia catch up to world standards. Be pro-active rather than re-active. In the long run it will be worth it bcos australia will be producing world class cars because they were forced to catch up due to relaxed import laws.

/end bitch about government.

wont the laws increase the prices of our cars??? and it wil also hold there value  

i kinda like the new laws

Perhaps it will increase the resale values - but I signed it to help the guys who are trying to get a car [now]!

And what if "we" want or need to buy another car, are you happy to pay perhaps, several thousand dollars extra for what will essentially be the same car passing through different legislation [red tape]?

Some of the laws have already wiped out small business' which can be seen as good for some while bad for other's.

Good: stops the dodgy operators bringing in crap cars?

Bad: too costly for [the honest] small business to adapt / meet requirements of new RAWS?

It all depends on how you look at it i guess, maybe we don't really know what the full effects are yet?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
