hey every1 (first post)

ive heard through word of mouth that as of next year skylines and s-chasis's wont be eligible for import no longer. Apparently this was because there is simply too many here. Sounds a little far fetched and unfounded, but can anyone put truth to this?

cheers

Nah, that is a total load of rubbish - rest easy knowing that you will be able to import even more makes and models next year as the list of SEVS approved cars grows.

If they were concerned about there being too many of one model around then they can start by cutting back on Commodore and Falcon production :wave:

I heard RX7's are no longer allowed to be imported? :[

this one is true. that happened awhile ago, restricted turbo models only? im not sure on that part. but but it was series 7 and 8 models i think they stopped allowing them to be registered, not sure if it was qld only, but if i recall, resale values went up ?

Man... rumours these days are getting a little silly. Back in the day they were actually plausible rumours.

Compliance by a RAW and SEVS is a national legislation, so if you can bring one car in into VIC then you can bring that very same car into QLD. I don't see why QLD registry wouldn't allow you to register a car with the correct paperwork etc, unless the registrant had restrictions on his license etc that stopped him from doing so.

1988 and old cars however do not go through the national scheme and as such is up to the discrepancy of the engineer/registration authority of each state.

There are plenty of others that 'could' be imported also if there was enough demand and someone was willing to put up the money for a test car, but hopefully these examples above will give you an idea of some of the newer models coming up and a little eye candy to keep you busy for a few minutes too.

Are the Evo Wagons going to be available for complience in Manual?

The EVO wagon (CT9W) was only built in tiptronic automatic so and manual models around would have been manual conversions.

Most compliance workshops are saying that they will not comply cars with transmission conversions although there are a few around that have no problem with it, so it depends on which workshop gets plates for this model first.

i herd from me m8 that thay are gunna be makin uz convert all japanese import carz 2 left hand drive now. does anyone herd about that 1 yet? wot will i do with all my right hand drive carz then?

me m8 also toold me that it waz funkmonkey that done it. cause of all the complaints and sh1t about rhd japanese cars in aus now.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
