thats weird all imports coming off the boat need a compliance plate straight away to be registered. Iv got a 32 GTR coming in from japan soon so il be in your shoes, im lookin at roughly 2 - 2.5k for compliance.

its under 15 year rule ..... yea i think i should give it another check around the car .... bloody vics :( but i was just wondering if anyone could gimmie simple steps to getting this compliance plate as fast as possible... im missing out on hill runs :D lol

my car came from vic (came from J land under RAWS, not SEVS), and it does not have a compliance plate that i have seen..... went thru regency just fine for rego. u may have just hit a guy in regency that does not know their shiz.....

or more likely i dont know where my compliance plate is :dry:

RAWS & SEVS are 2 complementing things, not different methods for import.

But yes, cars are out there with no plates - my DR30 was one of them. It was imported under the 15-year rule back in 2001, and about 18 months ago I received an SA Compliance Plate (sticker) that had to be affixed to the drivers door jamb, or rear firewall.

(SA legislation required a 'domestic' plate on all vehicles, so they had to retro-fit non RAWS imports)

The OP's car may be in the same boat, but import approval paperwork will certainly ease the red-tape pain...

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
