nothing was wrong, there was en extra wheel half way along the indicator stork that i didnt notice before

i still need to sort out why i cant use the passenger front power window from the passenger seat, but i can still do it from the drivers seat, maybe the switch is unplugged or something

I was gonna suggest that switch, but wasn't sure if it would be the same on the s2 as it is on the s1. So which lights are the spotties and which are the parkers? Or are there two sets of spotties (one for Fog and one for Driving)?

im gonna put the cd player out of my corolla into the stag so i wont worry about the converter. but ill give triple j a go in the mean time.

the headlight are head lights, the foggies on the front bar are on the indicator stork, and the foggies int the grill are the high beams.

...so much light, i cant wait to get on the road and start blinding people...lol

From memory with nissans there is a button on the drivers door window controls that 'locks' the windows so that they won't move, but the drivers switches still work

the power windows are definately unlocked, its only the front passenger that doesnt work, all of the others work fine

VERY excited, i get to drive it for the first time tomorrow...well legally anyway, to go and get my blue slip, then to the rta to get it registered.

yeah the front bar is big, and side skirts would be nice, but i think it needs to be lowered first...amongst other things...(bov, boost controller,spray front bar,fix rust under passenger side mirror,head unit, subs, amp...etc etc)

One side window will not work from either switchs if the switch inside the door is unplugged.

Check, take the skin off or pop the switch out to see.

yeah ill try and find out what it is, although in reality my old man is an automotive electrician, so i will probably just palm the problem off to him when he is installing my alarm :P

lowered?!?! with that bar you'll be repairing it weekly.

I think i can get away with another inch, im sure i can get used to driving carefully into driveways etc

Be careful how much you lower the car. i've had mine lowered, but not too much that the car isn't still practical. i drive my beast up gutters, over rough, uneven ground and even clear speed bumps at pace, but the car still has a nice ride height. don't turn what would be a nice practical car into a rice burner that can't park anywhere and ahs to take speed bumps sideways.

i can park mine in carparks with gutters, and i have about 5mm clearance. this way i don't have to worry about hitting the front bar (or intercooler for that matter)

Bloody RTA!

i went and got my blue slip done this morning...$110...wow

and when i went to the RTA they said that the computer decided that i would have to go and get a "Vehicle Identification Inspection" done before i can register the car, and the next available booking isnt till tuesday...im beginning to wonder if this car will ever be on the road :P

im just so sick of waiting...but on the bright side, i did get to drive may car into penrith and back today which was great fun, i now know what you guys mean about people looking at you funny and thinking what the hell is that?

:)

LOL - all the best with it!

anybody know what they actually do at a "Vehicle Identification Inspection" ???

and how much it is going to cost me?

I am guessing, but I would suggest they will confirm the cars origins and cross reference the Japanese VIN, import approval and the Compliance number?

No matter what it is I am sure you will be very unimpressed that the RTA couldn't walk out side and look under the bonnet... Sounds like an extreme time waster to me, do you have it booked in? If so give them a call and find out what they do and what you need to take with you (every document you have I would say).

Let us know how you go.

Cheers

just found this...

Here some tips for guys importing under SEVS who are required to go to the "pits" when attempting to register their car:

1) The "pits" in this case is the nearest RTA Vehicle Identification Inspection location. Run by the VIIU (Vehicle Identification Inspection Unit) branch of the RTA. This is not a roadworthy check.

2) The inspection takes 40 minutes to complete

3) The best appointment time is 1.40pm. The VIIU guys break for lunch at 1pm and do not do any inspections until about 1.30 - 1.40pm. If you book at any other time you may have to wait around until the previous inspection completes. A couple of guys who arrived after my 1.40pm inspection had to wait an extra 15mins or so.

4) In NSW there is a VIIU location in Penrith, Silverwater and Botany only.

i just rang the RTA's "Technical enquiries for vehicle regulations: 1300 137 302"

the guy i spoke to said that it doesnt cost anything and all they basically do is check if the car has been stolen.

it may not cost anything but it means that i have to take the day off work to do it. they are not open weekends and dont open till 8, and they close about 330.

i start work at 730 and finish at 4, how do they expect people to get it done if they cant get time off work?

sounds like a HUGE waste of MY time (and holiday pay) if you ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stolen! It has never been registered!! It just got off a boat from Japan and it couldn't get on that boat if it was stolen (de-registration papers) so yes, waste of time!

Nice work RTA!

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
