Howdy,

I have bought a R32 GTR in japan and have

applied to Canberra for import approval as

a race / rally car.

They say it can take upto 17 days to get approval.

What I would like to know from some one who has

done the same is how long does it really take?

Cheers,

Geoff :)

ps. there will be a full interia for sale as soon

as the car arrives in Adelaide.

Ask your broker Geoff! :P

Give them a call on that 1800 number and give them a rev up, it has been plenty long enough now.

Howdy Kristian,

I thought I would leave my broker alone until I had my approval.

Will call the 1800 number Monday if no news this week.

And then my Broker with:

Is it here yet?

Is it here yet?

Cheers,

Geoff :blink:

Just interested, when the car is still in Japan. Where is it being stored while you wait for the approval?

Howdy,

Sorry for the delay in answering,

a lot has happened in the last week.

I bought the car from a company who deal

with exporting cars from Japan all the time.

Part of the deal is FOB. My understanding is this means

Freight On Board (or something like that) which means

they will hold the car until you are ready to have it

placed on a boat.

Last week my import approval arrived in the mail

and the car arrived in Brisbane. Just waiting on

Australian customs to release it and will then get

it trucked to Adelaide.

Cheers,

Geoff :(

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
