As a matter of interest I did a quick search but couldn't see a post explaining what work is actually done to comply the V35 (Coupe in particular). Is there a list somewhere of the work that needs to be performed or can anyone provide the details? Would just like to know what work / parts are involved.

When the compliance is done, they give you a list of things done and corressponding part numbers. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me, but its just basic stuff.

Fluids, pads, side mirrors, fitting of an immobiliser. Thats about it.

wiper blades i think!

shame about the HIDs ... that's my pet hate on compliance. snipping off something so beautiful.

xscapade, can you elaborate on the mirrors? that would explain why my side view mirrors are so crappy in optical reflective performance if it has been changed.

The xenons are removed because its an aus ADR that all Xenon fitted cars have washers to clean the headlights.

It is illegal to have them, but there are people driving around with them so imagine you can have the car delivered to your place, take the Xenons out and build a bypass to run normal globes. Once you have it complied you return it back. Just what i've heard :D

Well said Bobby.

Yes what I heard too. :D But I can tell you that with conversion to halos, the usable light and spread is terrible. I'd actually go so far as to say dangerously inadequate. More dangerous than say light scatter from dirty headlights with HID bulbs. From what I have seen on the OEM assembly, the cutoff is very good. Not glaring at all. They are well designed assembly even with the lenses high up.

What they should be looking at is HID conversions on halogen reflector headlights ... now that's glary and dangerous.

Edited for grammar.

Yep, i still have the 2006 model OEM HIDs in mine. I love them, but they are not as good as the EVO8 MR ones I had on my previous car.

Re: the mirrors. They change them from concave/convex to an ordinary flat one. the driver's side at least anyway. the result is a less distorted but smaller field of vision.

This might be a dumb question but...

Are all complianced cars supposed to come with an Aussie-standard immobiliser? In actually fact, does someone really find the time to install them or do importers find a way to bypass this?

Thus, what are the chances of a V35 not coming with an Aussie-standard immobiliser, and, since all imported cars are supposed to be aussie-standard immobiliser equipped, are they all automatically theft insurance ready?

I am in the same boat!! I still use the factory immobiliser on mine, and when I was looking for a V35 I would see aftermarket immobilisers that botched up the boot-release button... so I was put off from getting an aussie-standard one..

Can someone please clarify if these are still theft insurance approved?

The compliance workshop fits the immobiliser. It is a requirement for all cars that are built after a certain year (2000?).

Mine was a proximity thing with a dongle on the keyring. I had to get Chris Rogers to rip it out and install a full alarm because it was conflicting with the factory nissan gear, and i couldnt start the car sometimes.

I'm the 2nd owner of my car since it was imported; when purchased, there was no evidence to suggest that an Australian standard immobiliser has been installed. No dangling proximity thingy, nothing. Either it was professionally integrated into the carkey or it wasn't installed somehow.

So had it been stolen at that point in time, would insurance pay up?

PS. I've since installed an aftermarket Australian immobilisation system.

When i bought my V35 from the dealer, no Australian standard immobiliser fitted and factory HID still fitted to the car.

Also no FM expander, no new tyres, no new wiper blades and factory mirrors too.

But have two child restraint bolts on the parcel shelf.

It's a pretty easy issue to rectify: just buy the best Aussie standard alarm/immobiliser you can afford! Any compliance workshop will use the cheapest, nastiest one they legally can (or sometimes none at all, I gather from reading this thread). Take the proximity dongle one for example: it interferes with the factory system.

Anyone who is going to spend the entry price for a car like this (or any decent car for that matter) should also make sure that it's as protected as possible, or be prepared to suffer the consequences (stolen car/no insurance).

Really, guys; you can get some pretty decent gear for a modest outlay: just get a good security system fitted, and then you won't need to worry about it...

I know my car does not have one fitted, and im pretty sure the standard one is not working either as when i lock the car with FOB and unlock with just the key i can start the car and no alarm comes on.

I have a Mongoose MAP80G ready to put on, how can i confirm the stock imobilizer/alarm is not going in interfere b4 i go ahead and install it.?

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
