Pretty sure that they can import to NZ, any vehicle that has type approved for any market... So grey imports from Japan are fine as they are to Japanese standards. Also European cars from Singapore are also regularly imported as they are to European standards..

However, they do have to pass the local NZ annual Warrant of fitness, that may, or may not, allow for massively modified cars to be initally registerd..

Sure one of the Kiwis will explain the specific requirements...

wow. so they can just import or have imported anything they like?

hmmmm... pm35 with a vq35dett? :)

Whilst we are on child seats, the isofix mounts fitted to many new cars in AUS are completely legal, under ADR. However it is not legal to purchase or use an isofix child car seat, as they are not fitted with a tether and therefore do not pass ADR....

Cannot wait until ALL the ADRs are aligned with the Euro regs... The paperwork is apparently going though, and should all be signed off in a couple of years...

Woohoo!!! 200th post!! :D

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
