Hi Everyone.

Some of you may remember this r32. It was for sale a few months ago. I imported the car my self, and unfortunatly it failed compliance due to the 'jacking points' being pushed in more then 20mm. This could have been caused from a number of things, my guess is the car forlifts in japan. The workshop i was using has been shut down, and now im stuck with a car that cannot be 'legally' complied registered.

Everything else about the car is perfect. It drives excellently, it has the power that it should have and it is clean, inside and out.

It is totally ridiculas, but im not going to get into that here because i could go on complaining and winging for ever. Yes i've lost alot of money, and yes i've thought about wrecking it. All because the jacking points were pushed in 2mm more then what is allowed. But i've moved on from cars now and i'm just going to cut my losses and sell it as is.

Basically, the car is is in very good condition. Hard to believe for a car that got rejected hey? The motor is in perfect (82,000kms on clock) and the gearbox is tight and the clutch is bouncy and fresh. The car was resprayed Gold in japan. It is very tidy inside and out, and looks great as you can see from the pics.

All the compliance work has been carried out on this car (full service etc, even though it isn't complied) and i've driven this car about 500kms, just on a dealer plate and had no problems what so ever.

Its a Gold 1990, r32 Gts-t Type M

Manual

Turbo

Aftermarket suspension

The steering wheel was returned to stock as well as the gearknob.

The exhaust, podfilter, gage and turbo timer have been removed, and i will be removing the cd player and radio.

I'm after $5500

Any questions etc, just post, or email at [email protected] or call on 0422373164

Regards

Mondial

mate the easiest way would be to part it out.

r32's are getting old so a lot of things would need replacing on them.

although it would be a shame to see such a nice car being wrecked, but whatyado

good luck

My worst nightmare...compliance...sorry to hear about your bad luck...

Where bouts u located? (if its there i must be blind...)

Yes this car can be used for whatever you want, just not on the road.

You only get one chance at compliance, if it doesnt pass, it doesnt pass.

thats so unfair. Surely you couldn't have the points super reinforced or something, then go back to a different engineer, it would probably be stronger than it ever was, and worthy of ADR's.. I would think.

Also can you claim anything throught the shipping insurance, or hold the car yard responsible perhaps?

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
