Wouldnt mind getting that brokers name 4door33? PM has been sent.

Have started looking around locally, so far everything has been automatic or with 140 000+ kms, GR! However, I will persevere! :) and keep an eye on the for sale section on the forum of coarse :( anyone wanting to sell a white manual r33 gts-t with lowish kms soon Im your lady! ;)

Autoworx...

No one else but him. Speak to paul there and he is an absolute champ. He also has a few R33's on his lot so check them out as well and I believe he would offer a warranty on his car's as well. He is a very honest man and when I recommended one of my mates to go see him about importing a silvia and plainly told him that because there were so many available locally that there was just no point in importing one. Very satisfying considering that if Paul had have said yes he would have gone ahead with it no worries at all.

But seriously go and speak with Paul and he will go through with you the con's and pro's of importing a vehicle vs buying one locally.

Autoworx are highly reccommended in my books.

Ahh yeah awesome! Yeah saving money is always a bonus! :P Yeah those were the only things I was worried about with importing thru Paul I mean I know he'd be able to fix up any problems I just dont want to get majorally burnt!!! And with work I didnt know how it'd be making the payments randomly.. but netbank would awesome

When they state that the car imported is at 60k or 80k. Do you believe it? for a 10 yr old car to do 6k/yr or 8k/yr. Is it really possible? LoL.

Abso-bloody-lutely I believe it. My previous R33 had done 33,000km when I imported it which equated to driving it at 4000km/yr. Just like KeeFy, a lot of people (not in the import business) told me it HAD to be fake, wound back, but EVERYTHING about the car indicated it was genuine - body, interior, mechanical condition, right down to the odometer reading stickers pasted in the door jam at each service interval.

Nelleh - The R33 I'm searching to import now (yes - through Paul at Autoworx as well) will not have any more than 40,000km on it. Having had one, I believe they ARE out there (just not lcally with low kms like that), just be prepare to wait for it to come around.

Not every car in Japan has done the same number of kms/year. Like I said - they are out there, but I'm sure the number of 8 year old cars with genuine low km's like mine had is small and if you want one like that, you HAVE to be patient. If it takes me 2-3 months to find another one like that, then so be it. Getting a car with 60-80K on the clock is much easier, but I reckon :

NEVER "settle" for a car. Get the one you WANT. :O

Meanwhile, my 1972 Mini Clubman is my daily racer :lol:

I noticed that on the autoworx site they said they are working on being able to compile 32's. So does that mean theres a chance of bringing in an R32 sometime soon AND being able to get it registered?

I was under the impression that no more 32's would ever be allowd in the country and be driven legally on the roads after the 15yo rule was bannished?

A workshop in Perth is just waiting for an inspection in the next 2 to 4 weeks and they will be able to comply R32's (1992 plus) and compliance should be priced well but a lot more work goes into a car then the 15 year rule.

Some people made you think R32's will never be able to come in so you bought the 1989/19990 ones and did not wait for a later model car.

Some cars are already in Japan waiting to come in under RAWS so it is close.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
