How Do You Know If A Car In Japan Is


Recommended Posts

How ya goin guys,

just after a little bit of help here. as i have found some nice skylines for cheap(being privatetly or i wouldnt need the help, as the brokers sort this stuff out for ya) in japan. but i was told be careful as they could possibly be blacklisted and will not be allowed to be complied and not allowed to be rego's in OZ.

just wondering how i find this out on particular cars.

on yeah and how easy would it be getting a 2.7Lt RB26 thro the compliance process, provided everything else on the car "looks" dead stock??

cheers for the help

Even though you're importing it yourself, you'll still need a compliance workshop, so ask them if a car looks legit or not.

If you're in Victoria, we'd be more than happy to comply a car for you, so send us an email with the car's details, hopefully some photos, and we'll let you know what we think.

cheers,

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
