Moring all,

I am about to buy a GTR but just wanted to know how to check if the compliance is legit, the car has been in Australia for 5+ years..

When i had my mechanic check the car he raised the question that it still had the original seat belts and no dimmer switch for the cluster..

Also the Vin number seems not to be straight on the top panel of the firewall...

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Dave,

If it was 5+ years ago, it would have been complianced under SEVS. Sevs requires seatbelts to be changed on vehicles which are pre 1997/1998 from what i can remember. Dimmer switch should have also been done.

New RAWS scheme does not require any seatbelts to be changed or dimmer switches to be added.

actually 5 years ago it would have been complied under LVIS/CPA scheme. SEVS/RAWS is the system we have now.

i have since found out the car has been here since 1996 and was a test compliance car... dotars confirmed all numbers to be correct..

one last thing.. the paint colour is QM1... can anyone confirm what this is?

Cheers

Dave

QM1 = WHITE

If you pm the chassis number I'll check the details on the Nissan database if you like.

Cheers

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
