Hey all,

I'm hoping there are some people on here who have either replaced their full exhaust with aftermarket or have gone twin turbo and still have the standard exhaust.

I'm importing a V35 (TT) and need to remove the turbos and get a standard exhaust on for compliance.

Also, due to the turbos, I need the intake setup from airbox to throttle body - if anybody can lend me or sell me these parts (I'm in Melbourne and can pick up) please let me know!

Thanks,

Scott

yeah its fine if the car is returned to standard, and the parts removed are destroyed

but if you remove the parts and the nre-install them, you risk your car being re-exported and the compliance shop losing their compliance ability

the whole point of the RAWS scheme was to make sure only standard cars were coming in so that shit examples that are mechanically poor don't flood the market. this helps in many ways to ensure the reputation of the car is maintained, that the standard of examples on our shores is high, and that resale is maintained. if you go importing shit cars or heavily modified examples you end up with half of the cars floatign around being a shitbox. take the R32, S13 etc as a prime example of this - i would never buy one because they are all f*ked

As per what Warren posted most workshops wont even look at complying a car like what you are vaguely talking about but it does not take much to work out which car it is so for various reasons especially what people are expecting to pay for a V35 to be complied which isn't a lot.

The links below will give you all your answers so start with looking into RAWS requirements, the RAWS Guide explains a lot about why they wont touch it and finally do a search on who can comply V35's.

Speak to the workshops direct as to what mods are on the car, if they will comply it and what would be their expected costs if they have the spare OEM parts including the ECU before you buy this car.

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
