Muz, The info that I provided is not applicable to Imports as such but more specifically Individually Constructed vehciles. You should be aware though that the ADR for 079/01 does not start until 01/01/2005 so I don't see why there should be a problem with your vehicle??? Have a look at this website that has the details http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/env...t/emission.aspx Cheers Paul P.S. ADR's are national as you said but I cannot confirm the relaxation in emission standards across all states.

Muz, Not too sure how much of help this will be for you but they have just relaxed emissions testing in NSW and the ACT (not sure about the other states) with regards to 79/00 and 79/01. Basically it implies that if you can prove that the engine combination has passed the emissions testing (V35 Skyline??) and that the combination in your vehicle is unmodified then you are good to go as there is no longer a need to conduct the emissions test itself (from what I can gather is the problem). The only other way around this that I thought of would be to get it registered as an ICV. Cheers Paul

Seems to me that there is some confusion on weather it is KM/ Litre as displayed on the trip computer or the more common in Australia Litres/100km. 7.3km/l equates to around 13.7l/100km in the old speak. If you are getting 700km out of a 75lt fill then you are getting 10.7l/100km or you are using around 9.3km/lt I hope that makes sense but from what I can gather the economy of one of these is about the same if not a little worse than a Territory of the non-turbo variety. Running out to around 13-14l/100km around town and down to around 10l/100km on the highway depending on your driving style. Cheers Paul

Any updates on if the later models will be able to be complied at this stage? I am looking at these but I would prefer something newer than 2003 if they were available. I have searched the site but there is nothing confirmed with regards to compliance for these later models. Cheers Paul
