I'm doing the compliancing on my R32 myself before getting it checked by the engineer to get the personal imports plate.

I've read the DIY compliance thread, but since I actually owned my car overseas the conditions are a little different. The following was brought up during my conversation with one engineer :

1. Child restraint points, no problem can get this from supercheap or autopro

2. Drivers mirrors, someone said that this doesn't need to be changed. Mine looks quite flat, so how concave is concaved?

3. Fuel restrictor, someone said that a sticker will do, another said that it has to be done for a few dollars, which is it?

4. High rear brake lights, can do.

Things that the engineer didn't mentioned :

5. VIN plague, I can do this myself no problem.

6. Seat belts, mine are fine but do these need to be changed?

7. I have non-original wheels, do I need stickers for this and what do they look like?

Are there anything else that I need to do/change?

Thanks in advance. Was pretty happy to see the car after only a month but had something stolen from it unfortunately. :D

What state are you in? All you have to do with a personal import is ensure that the car meets the registration and roadworthy requirements of the state. So contact the RTA / etc for your state and ask.

You haven't mentioned side impact bars so I'm assuming it's a later model R32. If it's pre August 1991 you will need that done as well.

Hi,

I'm in Victoria and my car is a late 91 model (though how can I check that properly?).

I don't understand what is "Guided Mode".

Seat belts are fine.

they will have JIS markings on them (well, on a white tag sewn into the base or something like that).

Provided they lock (they do), they are ADR compliant.

You could check by pulling the trim off the doors and cheking for side intrusion bars.

or you could post your vin number into the appropriate thread (nissan software or something - the thread exists), and then post the reply back here (so I can see too.....)

So what do you need to register the car? I am presuming that you have all the appropriate import approval stuff...

How big / what are you "non original" wheels. if they are the same size as stock, I don't see a problem. If they are legal, I don't think there would be a problem. If they are 32' - I see a problem...

My wheels are 17s, so no problems there.

Can anyone tell me where to get a fuel restrictor?  I heard that you can buy it off Mitsubishi for their Magnas.

Lemme know how you get on sourcing the bits and pieces Informer. I'm doing the same thing with an 89 gtr.

What did the shipping fairies appropriate from your car?

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
