You are best to buy September car to be most safe , since september is now.-soon.

Horus was saying in the email i got from him that he already bought the car, so he is lucky! There is some other people on forum here that sell car's they buy but in japan still. They so lucky. Now we have no option but to buy there car's since now R32 turbo is 10k from prestige, 5 months ago they where 8 k!

that is because there is more demand on 1989 car's and the seller's of those car's arnt stupid so they rise the price up to a 93/94 gtr for example!!

I'm sure you guys could import a 1990 Car aslong as you can afford storage plus buy it now..... That's what i heard from Craig over at J-spec. Even thou the rules will change, most of the time you can bend those rules if you have the car already under your name etc.

but DOTARS already gave out a warning not to purchase 1990 cars so might not work like it did this year with 89's...by warning they have covered themselves for complaints

Vehicle Standards Bulletin VSB10 - Importing Vehicles to Australia

ALERT - IMPORTATION OF VEHICLE 15 OR MORE YEARS OLD

The Government is currently considering the responses to the discussion paper on the Importation of Vehicles 15 or More Years Old and the options outlined in the paper.

Prospective importers should be aware that there may be changes to the current regulations. You should not assume that vehicles manufactured in 1990 will be allowed to be imported should the regulations be changed.

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
