Hay guys just a question iam waiting for my car t come in from japan its been two months and it still hasnt left yet

i just woundering about compliance plates and the new laws

My importer has already booked a plate for the car.

i wanted to know if the car got into australia but hadnt put the plate on by May 2003 and got the plate put on after the new law''s were enforced does that mean that they will have to take

all the aftermarket parts off and destroy them even with the plate being a plate under the old law???

can any one help me out on this becuase iam very concerned about this and the amount of cars being imported at the moment iam sure there will be major delays

there shouldnt be any delays in getting the car on a boat to get to sydney at all, talk to your importer, if he hasnt put the car on the boat by 2months then somthing must be wrong.

the car must be in oz, complied by may 8th for it NOT to go into the new laws, if complied after that, then all modified gear must be taken off.

why hasnt the car been put on a boat in 2 months? shouldnt take longer than a 2 weeks!

Thats about right. My importer had it on the boat in about 2 weeks. 2 months sounds like a very long time. According to the person I go thru, if it stays at the docks in Japan over a certain time, then you start getting charged each day that it sits there. Thats why they try to get it on the boat ASAP at the same time getting all the paperwork done in Australia.

This brings back so many memories, after being told that my car was on the ship and it would not arrive for another 4 weeks i got suspicious... after ringing around a few ports in Sydney and Brisbane, they assured me that ships from Japan take about 2 weeks to get here.. i went back to my broker and told him this however he assured me that the ship would take 4 weeks... what annoyed me the most was the fact that he just didnt seem to really care as he already had my money..... after constant nagging.. he finally chased it up for me and found out that the ship was coming in the next day (which was 2 weeks) so lucky i got him to chase it up otherwise the car would have been sitting on the Dock...and i would have had to pay storage fees... then i find that the Radio and Gear Knob and been stolen... he told me that the car was insured but the radio and stuff inside wasnt.. of cause i bitched and complained but what can you do???

So just be careful ppl.. get everything in writing.... i learnt the hard way.. we are talking about thousands of hard earned dollars here so get it all written down...

...  so much for it not holding me up!!!

Its now at a point where he's not replying to my emails about the front bar which is pretty slack because he will be the one making money from it not me.

Hmm, Brett,

After reading both your post's, your broking sounds a tad dodgey, and sounds like he talks a lot of bull shit. Are you getting any thing out it, by you helping your broker out with the front bar? if not, i think he is just trying to screw you even more. Is the dodgey broker all set up for the new SEVS? or is he just a back yard yobbo? hopefuly he may be shut down soon.

Later.

Drivebai: the parts that get stolen from the warfs from cars usually happens,as all the cars are open, my car from japan came with a full Alpine navigation system, and double din stereo with sony speakers, all that was left of that was the actuall dvd alpine computer (because it was bolted under the seat) and antenna on the back window, my bloody alpine tv was stolen, remote, head unit and sony speakers were all stolen from some stupid ass low lifes at the warfs here in Oz.

you cant do much about these things, just hope that the car comes in oz in the way it left from japan.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
