SABBAi Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi All, I found a tasty Y33 Cedric on Yahoo auctions that I'd love to bring in. However, I don't know if they are eligable for import or if anyone does compliance on them. Y33 yahoo auction Does anyone have any thougths, etc??

Iron Chef Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 They're not eligible currently, but theoretically they could be. Given that Y34s are off to a pretty slow start (which is unfortunate - they're excellent cars), I'd think you'd have a hard time convincing a workshop to take one on as a test car. The C35 Laurel on the other hand... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270361-y33-cedriccima/#findComment-4599985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight x Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 are you having trouble finding a workshop for the C35 Kristian or were you just saying that its another nice car that will be eligible soon?

Iron Chef Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 are you having trouble finding a workshop for the C35 Kristian or were you just saying that its another nice car that will be eligible soon? No problems finding a workshop to do the C35, just problems finding the article to make them eligible under SEVS. It may have to wait till my next Japan trip to test one and write the damn thing myself.

Some compliance shops seem to be doing a LOT better than others and are still taking on new cars, hopefully I can sweet talk them. Maybe I'll have to buy the test car.. but then it can't be Bippu styles and that makes me a sad panda.

Iron Chef Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 He means the test car has to be stock standard, not VIP style, not bagged, slammed and rolling on 20x12s Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270361-y33-cedriccima/#findComment-4909181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they don't want to commit to the evidence costs or people preparing the evidence do not want to expend there money on a few peoples opinion, the Cube and EVO V are more value to a workshop over an unknown entity. I got the Y34 on the schedule and they haven't taken off as they are so under rated which is why the evidence I have hasn't been used. I also have an F50 VIP Cima and both are later model cars compared to the Y33 which is another thing against them.

I think the real problem there is, the Y34 and F50 jumped on the list right when our exchange rate went right down the toilet and the "GFC" (fvk I hate that acronym!) hit. Dealers didn't jump onto anything new, sticking with tried and tested and so they just didn't do much. I think if a few more were coming in, it would have a snowball effect. Just my 2 cents -worked with the Aristo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270361-y33-cedriccima/#findComment-4909272 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents -worked with the Aristo When the Y34 was put on the schedule in June 2008 it was 100 yen to the AUS dollar as I also bought a Cube in July 2008, my F50 Cima was plated in DEC 2006 so the exchange rate couldn't of been the problem. They are an unknown entity as well which takes time to build a following, remember how people hated the M35 Stagea and CPV35. I drove a Y33 Cima on and off for 12 months, they are getting too old and tired compared to Y34's and F50's.

I do agree that it takes time to build the following - this happens by guys like us getting onto them, getting them in and making people see how damn cool they are The fact that there's only a handful on carsales means people don't have a basis for comparison of different models and prices. Sh1t, I think I've almost talked myself into one... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270361-y33-cedriccima/#findComment-4913045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
