O really?

How come they are such a major issue for everyone else then?

If you are relying on a north Brisbane RAWS shop to sell you the evidence, you could be (like Muz and me) waiting for a very long time.

If you already have the evidence I will send you my car for compliancing...

Ditto for me too! But I guess we both know the outcome hey Matt!

Hey Matthew,

I just had another thought, is there some way I can charge the "import broker" for the depreciation on the unused car? :(

You bet! When and if we get to court, this will be one of the myriad costs I will be suing them for - as well as liquidated damages such as loss of earned interest etc.

coz as the sayign goes its not what you know its who you know... had major dramas with the emissions on my ferrari but theres "loopholes" that just need emphasizing which is how il be doing the emissions for the M35

2002 Stagea can already be complied as all the testing has already been done! Post 11/2003 is the real issue as they have to meet the more (apparently) stringent ADR 79 standards.

As I said on the phone, you will have no problems with the 2002 car as it already complies.

no stress murray il find some other avenue out of this and get back to you

If you are able to find 'some other avenue out of this' I assure you I will very much make it worth your while, and no doubt Murray too.

Please be encouraged to apply the most rigorous 'lateral thinking' :worship:

I'd interested in seeing how this all goes. i wish you guys all the best!

i'm still keen on getting myself an axis and if it can be 04 then that would be great!

Would you like to buy mine?

You can have it for what I paid for it - I'll pay the freight to you.

As long as you don't mind waiting for compliance...

no more cars needed for now :)

but thanks for the offer.... i think??

    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
