Welcome blade. I dont know if its changed but my HID on my V35 S2 2005 were disconnected on compliance (2007) & I had to refit them. It had something to do with matching the right Aust standard which wasn't available at that time- I would think it should be ok now. I cant be sure for the Stagea but should be very similar. On the V35 it wasn't that hard to put back- make sure the compliers give you the wiring and the HID fitting or get them to fit after its registered - its perfectly legal to have them- just the compliance

Yeah it seems that this is still the case. Sadly my compliars were very 2nd rate, I can't get answers nor a reply from them.. So looks like I'll have to spend some hard earned soon and rectify it.. Will have to start looking into getting some genuine replacements, car hopefully is delivered today, so I'll hold off until I have a list on what I need.. Can only assume ballast & globes..

Many thanks

The reason the hid's are removed is because they don't meet the ADR standards (toss, toss) for being self levelling and having water spray jets. Silly as it sounds, that is the reason because in Australia we know more than the rest of the world.

You should ask the compliance mob to give you the globes and ballasts removed from your car if they did indeed totally remove them.

Blade511- Your compliers should NOT keep anything from your car - ITS YOURS. You should demand and get it back- its nothing short of theft!. I have no idea why anyone would touch ballast other than to steal it (which is usually a big job to remove anyway). Usually the wiring is disconnected from behind the headlights & somewhere in the engine bay/wheel arch, the they just modify a bracket / wire for standard globes!.Noone should be touching your ballasts!. They are about 750new (if you can find one). I know because I had to change one ($220gen 2nd hand one). I was lucky I had a friend comply it and the compliers talked him /me through every detail, they kindly bundled the wiring and bulbs in the Glove box. I was very lucky my car still has the jap warranty card for the impul chip and fujitsubu exhaust, spare key + vallet key. If anyone took anything from my car They would be very very sorry..!. You know the car has it- go there & get it!

Could not agree more.. I've been on one hell of a back and forth and am starting to get results.. But they are painful and am at the point where enough is enough.. Put simply I don't want to deal with them any further. And would be happy to send them a bill just to stir.. However, you and I both know that I'll be wasting my time when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of it.

Hi guys, 

I'm looking to buy a 2008 nissan skyline 370gt v36. It's an import with navigation system and stuff in Japanese. That's fine, but since I have never owned an import car before, I would like to know if spares are readily available in WA? Or in the eastern states? I'm getting an inspection report done as well. Anything I should keep in mind when I go have a second look and drive? Your advice and help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks.

Here are some pictures of my latest buy, a 2005 350GT auto.

 

Driving buy the local car yard & spotted it on the lot for $10990NZD. Had a look on the web-site & found out it only had traveled under 50,000k so I decided to go have a look. Took it for a spin, loved it, so I bought it!

Runs on 17s, has black cloth interior, factory tinted windows & no wind deflectors over the doors (which spoils the look).

I got a gadget that plugs into the cig lighter socket to play music from my phone through the factory head unit.

 

The pictures ain't the best but had to take them between heavy rain showers from my phone.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
