When I was looking for an FD there nobody was complying them in Vic. You had to go to QLD or NSW for compliance. Don't know if that's changed recently, so I bought a 34 GT-T instead (still in Japan.)

So yeah, if you want to import one you might need to get it complied interstate. Too much of a hassle.

Edit:

Yup, that's still the case.

Just checked the RAWS site.

Compliance available in NSW and WA only.

Do note that even if they do compliance work for free, it will take a gd month or two, as paper work will take ages.

Then an engineer as to inspect each modifications done for it to meet the standards. Then the paper work will be sent out backwards and forwards.

So if you are willing to wait that long then go ahead. Just something to think about i guess..

^^ this is because they have never done it before. So it would take a lot longer than normal skylines etc etc.

Also now looking after one is going to be much more expensive than a 34.

So why dont you see to many around?? well price firstly!! secondly parts are not cheap!!!

you are still in school dude.. Are you sure you will be able to afford it.

Not questioning your money status here. Just saying, after finishing school, some of your interests will change. You might go on holidays..

Actually i will stop here and let you think about it a bit more.

Dont jump and buy out a 50k car!!

all the best.

if its gonna take that long i proberly wont even bother , atm i just want my car back. i cant really think of any cars apart froma 34 or a FD....everyone seems to tell me its gonna be real hard to maintain a FD....which kinda makes me want to own one even more. my whole life ive wanted things that no one has...i guess its just gotten even bigger.

thinking about it logically a 34 is already good enough....so i might just stay with it.

Edit: Get off your red p's before you buy another 'Fast' car..

N get some driving experience...

Im not saying that we all are perfect.

Im saying get off your Red ps atleast.. that is all..

gdluck

its gonna take me 3 years to get off my Ps mate....i cant wait that long lol

mates keep telling me to go to some advance driving courses...but i dunno.....i guess its fun and all but i just never get around to makn the arrangements.

YE GTA in the city spencer st sells rx7 but be cerful when doing buissines with them..

Hrmmm...havnt herd of em but thanks for the heads up, although i think ill stick with a 34 for now.....

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.

      Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
