One of my mates is trying to get a 300ZX complied but has been told that unless it's 15 years old, the car will have to be re-imported or destroyed. I don't know the complexities of it, but he needs to know the month and year the car was made. Since it hasn't passed compliance there is no plate on it.

Is there a way to tell the build date? I've heard of people using the Nissan FAST software, would it be possible to find the build date using this software? If so, PLEASE PM ME and i will give you the details needed. Otherwise, any other help would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers guys, hope someone can help out.

:cheers:

The build month would have needed to be confirmed in order for the car to be granted import approval under the 15 year rule. If your friend has gone ahead and imported the car before import approval was obtained then hes in a spot of bother.

Sounds fishy to me

It sounds a bit suss to me too, as my mate is buying it off a private seller who imported it himself. Anyhow, i will get the VIN number and see how things go. Luckily he's under no obligation to buy the car should things not work out. Cheers guys and gals.

This is correct, if he was importing it under the 15 year rule, then he should have an import approval and he'll be right. If he doesn't have an import approval and the government knows his car is here it will have to be crushed or sent back to Japan. My brother's first import (an 87 Soarer) came in before the import approval arrived, but the authorities didn't know it was here, fortunately the approval came the next day and everything worked out fine. I think this is why Prestige now wait for approval before shipping rather than just assuming it will arrive before the car does.

      WTB: R34 S2 Front grill (this guy is asking mental prices)

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Looking for a S2 front grill for an R34 GT/GTT Doesn’t have to be in excellent condition as I’m looking to paint it. Would preferred if the clips were around.    The $500 this marketplace guy is asking sounds ridiculous in my opinion.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
