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.

*I know Nick, pushing it. But haven't named names!*

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:
