Hi Guy's

I have a R33 GTS-25t that I imported into NZ that can't be complied even though it has Dual airbags and is a 1996 Series 2. (We have different rules to you guys)

My cousin lives in Sydney and is interested in buying it but Im not sure on the exact process for sending a car into Aus, I realise there is 10% duty and 10% GSt but what other costs are involved?

Who in sydney can comply R33's and any idea on approx costs?

Basically don't want to send him a car and then him not be able to do anything with it, so need to try and sort out as much as I can before it goes.

Cheers

James

Go here and search for who can comply R33s, there are plenty of workshops who can do so.

Costs

- cost of car

- freight

- customs duty = 10% x (cost of car plus cost of freight)

- gst = 10% x (cost of car plus cost of freight+customs duty)

- customs and quarantine clearance fees

(approx $500 if you go through a customs agent)

- cost of compliance through a RAWS (was $4000 when I got my car, I think it's a lot cheaper now)

Just remember that under the SEVS scheme, the car cannot be accident damaged (there are very small tolerances for accident damage, best to be safer than sorry), and the car must be returned to stock at compliance.

You need to speak to one of those workshops, see if they will work with the car to comply it. They would probably want to know about any mods / damage to the car before they make an undertaking to comply it.

Thanks guys will get in touch with them, The car was auction grade 4 so is pretty tidy, when you say no accident damage, your meaning siginifcant damage i.e chassis/rust etc.

Im fairly confident on that front it shouldbe fine.

Will let you know how I get on.

Email Zoran it [email protected] sending him the auction report and your cousins details and he will be able to comply it.

If it is a good car it is simple as, tell him you got the contact info off the Skyline Forum as well.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
