Yes indeed.How the car got passed a Roadworthy Inspection for 1st Rego in QLD beats me! Because not pasting the 'Import Approval Sticker' on, the importer can face a fine from the Aus Gov! Oh and yes that is right. The bike I bought in VIC was previously registered in SA. I only had to visit the Service SA office to get it rego'd again. Even though it would have failed for sure because of non ADR stuff that was aftermarket!!! -
Totally agree that it is very important on what attitude you give your inspector! He commented 'besides these faults, it's a neat car'. Which was cool to hear from them Vehicle Standards never replied to my 2 E-Mails I sent them about my specific procedure!!! Then I gave up & just went in without knowing the known requirements... Statement of Requirements on first go for the 'missing import approval sticker'. Got that sorted, then the 4 faults on the 2nd visit. What are the strict VIC rules that you hate & others?

How am I meant to know 350Z Suspension sat lower when the seller said they were going to be the same as the 350GT? Hello... That's the big issue here that I am pi**ed off about, 'False Advertising'!!! And the middle rear child restraint is 'missing'. Needs fabricating a bracket attached from both sides of the bolts if that makes sense. Why should I spend another grand doing all this and risking future HID wiring issues. When I can get it rego'd in another state for the same price with HID's still intact. Defeats the purpose now. Have tried twice now, I would of got pinged for the middle child restraint first time as no one warmed me! My car is all safe (besides front tint), SA Gov is over doing it completely! That's why not many used cars in Adelaide are for sale unregistered...

I saw a black 350GT sedan last Saturday @ Hindmarsh Square looking for a park in Adelaide with standard issued SA white plates It was a nice sweet looking stock 350GT with full rain deflectors like mine I had been parked there for 2 days, before I moved it Sat evening. Maybe he was looking for a 350GT chat up? Hehe

When the full flush is done how can it setup contingencies when the gear changes are hard coded as one says? I see no point getting the TCU Reset as it can't be done by anyone anyway, to what I have been reading?!
-
As Sonicii (Greg from Townsville, QLD) pointed out: '350z suspension' do you mean springs as well?As they will drop a sedan about 25mm all round. And at $578 it would want to be in awesome condition! So there, I got screwed badly...
-
I guess I would of got defected at the shed if I was being a smart arse to him!
-
Import Factory SA haven't got 350GT Sedan Springs...
-
Not $50, but I paid $578 for 2x stuffed shockies out of 4x from a 350Z car, not even from a 350GT!!! And he reckons my claim of refund is bogus...
-
Too bad, no ones got stock 350GT Spings Glyn. I thought Import Factory SA would have them, but nah!!! HID's (Auto Elec: $250) Total for re-wiring twice? Tint ($150 Approx?) Restraint Bracket Fabricated & Bolt ($200 Approx?) And the same place that done my mums front side windows tint looks fine, not as dark as mine!
-
Yes the drivers side door windows got tinted with 35%. But the installers should of known it had built-in tint!!! It's now 9% thanks to them!!! And yes for 350Z or 370Z Suspension $50 Auction with no rear Coil Springs still sounds like I got ripped off badly!!!
-
Well that'd be handy Ben, but I didn't have the specs & no one passed on the eye brow height measurements to me!!! Lowest allowable is 360mm... The Brisbane SAU Member sold me 350Z Suspension, not the 370GT Suspension as we agreed on... Hope PayPal can fix him up a little bit!!! Anyway I failed the Full Roadworthy last Friday morning on the Middle Seat Child Restraint Bolt not being present (BOSE Sound System is in the way). Tint was too dark at the front (even though I asked for darkest legal tint, work that out)!!! Rear ride height is sitting too low (9mm) from minimum allowable. HID bulbs (which was the only thing I was afraid of failing on)!!! And to top it off the Import Factory in SA hasn't got my Model Coil Springs!!! So I can't do nothing to pass SA anymore...

That was a great $700 investment for used stock suspension, lol. SA Regency Inspection failed me on Friday even with the stock suspension installed because it was used & not in near new condition. Which resulted in it sitting 9mm lower than normal!

I have finally completed the testing over the weekend @ Hay Plains, NSW. Balranald to Hay. 6.0L/100kms (60-65km p/h) Distance: 1,333kms! 6.1L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,311kms! 6.2L/100kms (70-75km/p/h) Distance: 1,290kms! 6.3L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,269kms! 6.4L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,250kms! 6.5L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,230kms! 6.6L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,212kms! 6.7L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,194kms! 6.8L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,176kms! 6.9L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,159kms! 7.0L/100kms (---) Distance: 1,142kms! Formula: 80L/6.0L=1,333kms Consumption depends on speed, throttle pressure & endulation (flat to hills). My constant consumption sits on 6.8L on the highway Fuel Range Readings are nearly always innacurate. As it requires hundreds kms of driving on the same fuel consumption profile for it to deliver an accurate reading!!! But the above math formula does the work for you Enjoy... -

PaulReeves.com - GPOWER.TV replied to Sikahalv's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
I am getting 6.5L-6.8L per 100kms travel readings so far. That is from Sydney to Newcastle distances & cruising between 90km-115km p/h depending on hill or downslope! Tomorrow & Thursday is the time where I start to test it out further as I have 1,600km to do -
Ok some say I need to reset the TCU including the workshop manual after a trans flush on a GT-8. But one says why. I also ask why if my gear ratios are still the same & not corrupt?!
-
Yes I think you might be right Greg as they had nothing different. Wherase the fronts only goes in one way! Adelaide Regency inspection ready!!!
-
I am trying to figure out the Left & Right sides from the rear set of shock absorbers. Part Numbers are: 3212 56210CD021 & 3211 56210CD021 Anyone know the answer?
-
My VIN Placard states: RE0R04A for the trans. Axle: RC36 Plant: M

I am a grandpa driver, economist record holder for GT-8's with the 'Hypermiling Technique' as was previously shown on Mythbusters!!! A Full Tank can drive 1,159kms running on 6.9L/100kms Consumption...

Yeah good try Rat (1984 Chinese Animal). That's why my last driving crime on the road was on 1st Dec 2010!!! What's yours??? Lol

You mis-understood me Ben. I was asking Trevor if his manual 6MT had a transmission cooler from stock. Which he never replied anyway. But I think manuals don't use any coolers or lines into their radiator do they? Underground Racing 'YouTube Channel' GT-R versing all other sport car models in Russia. Best compilation on YouTube! It's where & when, that it becomes 'ok OR NOT' to do. It's all crap that speed causes all accident if you believe that. Even cops were polled saying that only 20% of the officers believed that speed was a factor (that was said on tv last week). How about testing road users for drugs rather than Alcohol only?! Roads would be much more awesome & safer!!! Easter break 1 in 6 were done for drug driving! And you calling me dangerous on the road yesterday, good one Trev. I never touched any of that s**t & never will. There's gym for the highs!!!

Can I run the transmission lines into an aftermarket radiator? Or are there supports (called buns or something like that?) to run current lines into the stock radiator? Isn't it like 20%-30% power deduction from Flywheel to rear wheels Greg? Anyone got stock Dyno specs of the 370GT 6MT please??? And the only thing I wish my 350GT had was the Twin Air Intake like all sport cars should have! And I can't fit the Extroid Box into a 370GT shell!!! Just sux...
