The 2 year saga is now over with the court case having been settled out of court. Unfortunately we have had to sign a document that prevents us from openly disclosing the results. All I can say is that it has been a very very very expensive exercise in futility.

Happy to discuss in private for any who may be interested.

cheers

Wow, I hope it at least brings some closure to the whole ordeal...

PM me please, Muz.

It is a real shame that you had to go through all of that Muz.

Best wishes for you and yours.

Two things;

1. Did you see the goings on about the PM35 Stagea?

2. I hope this has not put a stopper "project GT40"

Cheers mate.

All the best.

Hi,

if you're doing pm's I'd be happy for a copy and paste. Also didn't I read somewhere the importer was going out of business anyway? Seems stupid to make people sign non disclosures if it has no impact becuase the dodgy B&$*dards are moving on.

^ lol.

Don't think they are going anywhere.

In fact, I believe they recently stated (again, incorrectly) that the PM35 Stagea was able to be complied.

Tell me more about the PM35 issue as I haven't really kept up with anything.

Project 40 will go ahead once I recover a little in the way of finances but will definitely proceed.

Cheers and thanks for your support through this whole very draining process.

I would just like to thank most of the SAU community who have been very supportive over the last two years whilst this issue has been on the public stage. I am constantly amazed at what a great bunch of people there are within this community. The Australian ethos of "helping a mate out" can be well applied to all on here. I have never personally met any of you guys but if you're ever in my neck of the woods, I would be only too happy to shake your hand. I still have my 34 to play with so will still wander in from time to time.

Cheers and many beers to you all.

In fairness to the import broker, it was the workshop concerned that did a backflip over the PM35 compliance issue.

Glad to hear you can finally move on, Muz - irrespective of whether you've won or lost, I'm sure you're just happy to move on from it.

A discussion was had about 3 weeks ago regarding a couple of PM35 350RX Fours that popped up for import - they were contained in a e-mail from the relevant importer. It was a very informative thread, with several importers providing useful input on the situation. But it seems that someone, somewhere upset someone else, and the thread was deleted (I didn't even see where it went wrong - it was gone that quick). It was a shame, because it provided useful insight regarding the future of PM35's in Aus. I think the crux of the matter was it was likely that the 2004+ 350RX Four would be compliable, but hadn't yet been done.

Anyone care to comment on this? I think it's correct.

:D

Want to hear something really shady....there is an importer(not being specific) currently advertising a 2003 6 speed manual and a 2004 6 speed manual Axis......would be awesome to have though. :D

Just goes to show guy's...alway's know all you shit before trying to import and comply.

:down:

I think it was more a case of one naive person at a workshop claiming they could do something that they couldn't (I got the same advice from them initially as the other import broker), only to have their phone run hot with inquiries and his boss go postal on him because they couldn't actually comply non-turbos.

It was me who requested the removal of the thread, following a request from the workshop owner.

Anyway, sorry for the OT discussion, Muz.

Well there you have it - I stand corrected!

:D

Thanks for the clear up Kristian, it should bring the topic to a close for the time being.

And to Muz - Sorry to hear that it turned out this way, and that you had to be the one who went through it. I hope that it doesn't sour your taste of the flavour of Japan too much :down:

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
