hi all, i'm from SDU in auckland, there's a good possibility that i'm moving over to Sydney in a few months time, so would like to start get to know some ppl in SAU Sydney, been a very active member of SDU in auckland for a number of years now

i was wondering if its possible to bring my car over to Oz, the car is under my mothers and my name, and i've had it for nearly 1 and half a year now, if it does cost, how much would the compliance cost? and also what are some of the other rules?

i have a 1991 R32 gts25 converted to a turbo (as in slapping a turbo on the NA engine, hehe) 5 stud conversion and all

and one other question, if i cant get it complianced there i will sell it in NZ, so i was wondering how much R34 gtt go for these days in Oz, the pre facelift model, 1998-2000 ones, i like their front

thnx very much in advance guys

Welcome

If you can prove that you've owned the vehicle for 12+ months, you are able to import the car without compliance and so forth. However as its in your mums name im not sure of the procedure, or if that loophole exists. Otherwise you would unfortunately be unable to import the car as its too highly modified, and that I don't know if R32 GTS25 are on the compliance listing.

R34 GT-T go upwards of $30k AUD, depending on spec.

sweet as man, sounds good so far, i'm not fussed who owns the car in Oz, jst as long as i can get it there without too much hassle

one other question, is there a site i can go to, to find out what personalised plates are still avaliable? i'm wanting to put on the same one i have in NZ, RB25DE hehe :cheers:

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
