Hi All,

Just a quick question on the process, i bought my car at auction a week ago. Rang my broker and they have told me they are waiting for the Import approval.

What does that mean exactly does that mean the car has been deregistered and stuff already or does it mean none of thats been done yet?

I was told originally only a couple of days to deregister and then they look to get it on a ship?

I am probably being impatient, but once i have paid money i cant help myself!

Cheers Stink

you will have to ask them what they mean by that mate. Only they will know if it's been deregistered or whatever. most likely it means they have submitted the request for import approval, and are awaiting the response from DOTARS.

Yeah the guy i spoke to was filling in so he could tell me any details.

Its Australian Governmental Approval for the go ahead to allow your car to enter the country. Doesn't take too long, just be patient :laugh:

Yeah i understand that,

I was asking whether this tells me that the car is ready to go over there like is this import approval done before anything else or is there no particualr order. Just trying to understand the process better.

ohhh i see what you asking. So no, import approval means what i stated. Not whether it is sitting at the docks waiting to go....thats up to the shipping company and papers to be completed by your broker.

that system sucks.

Sorry - misread your question.

The car has to be de-registered in Japan, and assuming it's coming into Oz under SEVS, you or your import broker will get a lovely Export Certificate to prove that your car wasn't stolen. The workshop doing your compliance needs a copy of this before they can sign off on it. That's why it's important.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
