Hi guys,

I have been offered to buy a package of goods to get my car up and on the road but not sure weather its quite the bargin its cut out to be.

It includes 1 headlight, 2 park lights, and a rear window.

How much would this stuff be worth?

Stuff i need to source still.

Center vent.

and steering wheel.

maybe a stock air box.

Also i have been told a few things about getting my car registered. Its not complyed yet.

I have import papers that bring it in under the 15 year rule.

This means it just has to pass a road worthy. Am I correct in saying that. I did do research before i bought it but a few people have now told me differentally.

you also need to make it meet the ADR's which involves:

side intrusion bars

child restraints

fuel filler restrictor

high mount stop light

tyre placard

Depending on how much they want for the parts Sam is what makes that a good or bad decision.

Yes you will need those parts for the compliance and sometimes its better to just get them than wait around for them to turn up cheaper.

There are a few little things you have to do, so the car meets complaince for TAS rego under the old 15 year rule.

you DONT need side intrusion bars (so dont listen to anyone that say's you do)

and the high mount stop light does not matter here either (if you got it in the wing then it does have to be operational though)

COMPLAINCE NEEDS:

seat belts and child restraints changed (although you can get the original's certified, but its not really worthe it)

drivers side mirror has to be changed

VIN number has to be stamped under the bonnet (and obviously the import papers have to match as well)

Unleaded fuel only sticker on the inside of the petrol flap and depending on where you go you may need the fuel filler restrictor???? (i didn't though)

all lights have to be operational (stop/brake, indicators and headlights)

all windows (electric or mechanical) have to be operational

no part of the exhaust can be going to atmosphere :P

aftermarket air intake is ok (but again depends on where you go)

number plate lights need to operational

tyres need to meet approval (ok tread left, no cracks/splits in side walls)

battery fasterner

and thats about it really.

if you need a hand with anything then give me a yell.

also i know a few people that can help out with getting the car road legal with your inspection if you like :D

Cheers B

im not sure ive seen alot go to the trouble of putting the side intrusion bars in....

why do you need a pack for lights and stuff sam?

you dont need side intrusion bars but some peeps in the complaince game will tell you that so they can make a little more money out of you :P

I believe Sam needs the lights as his car at the moment only has one head light?

I dont know about TAS, but in SA you have to get intrusion bars fitted, as well as a engineers report so they can verify the work.

yeah its not really needed here in Tassie, although the rules are about to change again.

The beauty of it is, its getting easier and easier to register an import these days and its not costing as much either :P

Try going to Vic or QLD as there some of the hardest places to get imports complainced <_<

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
