Just got some more cars emailed to me by being on the J-Spec mailing list and one car in particular caught my eye. It is a lightly modded R33 GTS-T (exhaust, air filter, aftermarket wheels). But at the bottom of the page i found this

"This car has accident history on the right front but it was quite minor and has been repaired very well (not noticeable) .. the aftermarket parts can be removed and shipped separately to avoid any trouble with the tough new SEVS laws."

Can this be done cause I thought that they had to show evidence that the aftermarket parts had been destroyed???? If this can be done then i am all for it but Im just curious. Can anyone shed some light on the matter??

Cheers

weetbix,

As far as my understanding of the rules go.....:

The car can have accident damage it just has to be very minor (no chassis damage etc etc).

The car must be stock when it lands in this country. If it lands here with any mods they have to be taken off and destroyed. If the mods get taken off in Jap and replaced with stock items then the car is stock when it lands here!!! ;-)

with the new SEVS regulations, the parts have to be removed for compliance. these parts can be refitted after the compliance process. To my knowledge, the only item that has to be destroyed is the WHOLE car if it does not meet compliance (i.e major accident damage or corrosion), it's either this or ship the car out of the country and show proof (of either).

You are able to bring in a car that is modified, but generally the cost of obtaining the original parts and then paying someone to remove and fit is the killer on the hip pocket. I have looked VERY closley at the DOTARS legislation, as I am awaiting the outcome of an Ombudsmans decision on the 15 year old rule (I bought a car mid year and now I'm ona knife's edge to see if I can bring it in) any q's, let me know.

Cheers

    • Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on 
    • You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump. 
    • Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
