There should be two plates. Pink plastic plate is the compliance sticker. The metal plate is the new Australian VIN number (6U9000-ECR33XXXX) which should pinned on top of the old japanese vin on the firewall. In your situation i would recommend contacting a local compliance workshop. explain your situation and they might be able to liase with DOTARS and issue a new sticker for a fee of course.

Copper vs iridium plugs for modified car?
ACTIVE-LSD replied to silviaz's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I use Denso Iridium Power. $58 for set of 6. heat range 20 (aka 6) right in the middle. shouldn't foul with my brand new coils. for the price alot easier than pulling plugs out on every few services. -

Cheers will give it a go. Fortunately I have a spare ECU for testing as well. -
R33 Skyline Start Up Problems In The Morning
ACTIVE-LSD replied to Deza3000's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
My car is currently having the same issue. it's been gradual over course of a few months. use to choke a little on cold morning start ups. now i need to start it two or three times. car shakes like it's running out of fuel and i need to use abit of accelerator. I re-soldered my stock AFM and also tested with brand new. brand new battery. cleaned AAC used new gasket. got overzealous and purchased a brand new cold start valve. did not solve the issue. I've noticed if I reset the stock ECU. it starts first go until the next cold start. I wonder if it's fault with the ECU? -
If your car is only being used for street use and want OEM quality then I recommend KYB SR Special shock absorbers + spring combo of your choice. I personally have KYB + RS-R Down Springs on my ECR33. F is lowered by 2 cm and R is 1.5 cm. Ride quality is firm and comfortable. going over speed bumps isn't brain shattering. 👍

Import car parts from RHDJapan, taxes over 1k?k
ACTIVE-LSD replied to YD34GTT's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
AFAIK this is how it works. Since the 2018 changes to GST on low value imports. Some companies will pre-emptively collect 10% GST from your order. if your package gets stopped at customs then they will pay for it. if it doesn't then your guess is good as mine. -
Rust Spots - R33: How Stuffed am I?
ACTIVE-LSD replied to BigDogRB's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Nah top plate is different as others have mentioned. not sure about the sides though. Are you sure SR Auto bodies are shut down? their website is still active. Nice looking good mate. how many hours did that take you? If you're fastidious with the colour difference, you can take off the bonnet hinge and get it paint matched in rattle cans by a paint shop. use matte clear coat as engine bay is not gloss from factory. -
Rust Spots - R33: How Stuffed am I?

Unfortunately they only make replacements for GTR. No love for ECR33 , ER34 -
Rust Spots - R33: How Stuffed am I?
ACTIVE-LSD replied to BigDogRB's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Normal for R33 and R34. If the original owners in Japan didn't have a lockup garage then they were all parked on the street exposed to the elements. Rust starts inside out from the intersecting metal sheets. Mine came from Hamamatsu, Shizuoka a region where it rarely snows and still have the same problem. Best you can do is a band aid solution and wait until you fix it properly. Australia is essentially sub-tropical so rust shouldn't develop too fast. -
Simultaneously you can also try contact the Raws workshop who complied your vehicle. their company name should be on the pink compliance sticker.

Is the ECU stock? Alot of skylines came with Japanese chipped ECUs like mines, impul etc which runs on 100 RON. You could be pinging under load and not even realise.

Yes we can import any passenger car over 25 years old. new law came into effect early 2019. replaced the old pre-1989 rule. However now the only hurdle is car insurance. i made several inquries for a Nissan R'Nessa GT Turbo and they never heard of the car model. so i doubt you'll be able to insure HR/ENR33 RB20E.

R32 GT-R model year differences on ecu
ACTIVE-LSD replied to timmy94's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
It's not even the power output on stock gtr but the engine response. after driving for a while the engine bay turns into a furnace. stock ecu then pulls timing and car turns into a nugget. -

R33 Gtr Loss Of Boost When On A Long Drive
ACTIVE-LSD replied to Booki's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Sorry to revive a old thread but i have the exact same problem. This issue is very intermittent and has also occured on my old S15. The way i would describe it is "losing both engine response and boost" only when the car gets hot. mind you my car is 100% stock even with standard airbox. i noticed if i leave car on idle for 2 mins or switch car off it will fix the problem immediately. I've been trying to diagnose the issue for some time now. first i thought it was due to engine oil, so i switched to 10w-30. then i thought it was fuel injectors so i got those professionally cleaned no. also changed fuel filters, engine coolant temp sensor, 02 sensors and coil packs. NO CHANGE! So it AFMs the last resort? -
