My son who has an exemption to drive a "High Powered Vehicle" an RS4, needs to get a separate exemption to drive a "Moderately Powered Vehicle", an R32GTST. The mind boggles! I guess it is one way to get an extra $36.15 in the Govt coffers.

DOT will now only accept Factory Manual information. The usual sites on the net, including car forum notes are no longer be accepted. Only info from Nissan.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to get these specs?

I suspect it's not that easy....in Oz Govt eyes the manufacturer is the RAWS that complied it, not Nissan.

In any case, I am not aware of an English workshop manual for R32 GTST.

He can't be the first person in the state that has requested a 32 GTST exemption, is re-using existing information out of the question?

usually p-plater's write a letter (or email) to Nissan Japan, requesting the required info needed.

Link below provides some info

DOT specifically said info from Redbook is not accepted.

The thing that pings me is that some elderly gent on a brand new Harley ran into the back of the 32 while it was stationary behind two other cars that had stopped to let someone reverse out of a driveway. The rider had not been on a bike for 20 years, yes 20 years. He just ran into the back of the 32.

The bike was stuffed, the rider really stuffed, the 32 suffered no damage, the bike hit the tow hook. The law went balistic and want to charge my youngun

with driving a "Moderately Powered Vehicle" with`out an exemption. Fark, he can legally drive a Stagea with a bunch of goodies, but can't ride a push bike.

I guess I must get onto Nissan Japan, but from what I have read here I think I am farked.

HELP

There is an E-mail with the @nissan.co.jp domain

Can't recall it but they say that the team on there are useful and speak English and get back to you within 24 hours.

Try asking them.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
