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 <_<

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
