Hi just wondering if Honda アクティ can be imported ?

p_drug69-img600x450-1273421178jgh483160.jpg

or anything similar?

Vehicles similar to this can be imported as long as they are built in 1988 or earlier. The newer ones are not powerrful enough to meet the minimum power-to-weight ratio under the SEVS compliance requirements.

The Acty and most other Kei cars can't be imported because of SEVS regs, but in the case of Daihatsu, they could be made eligible because Daihatsus are no longer sold here new. Getting them on the register is one thing, getting them to meet ADRs is another entirely - from people who have tried with the Beat and the Cappuccino, apparently it's virtually impossible to meet ADRs.

I have seen the van version of that kicking around here a fair bit. as for getting one of those - find it pre 89 and knock your self out. plenty at the auctions and from what I can see - cheap as.

I've seen 2 cappuccinos on the streets of Melbourne :S

One red and the other yellow.

The Cappuccino and Beat were allowed in under the old compliance system pre-RAWS/SEVS, so they would've been in the country for at least 5 years now.

+ Personal imports ?

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
