Monday I'm gonna be able to tell u if I paid 6.1% at the border

 

Does anyone know why the 2007 350Z is only admissible if built after Sept 2007? How are the pre-Sept,2007 different?

How can you find out when the car was built?

 

i dont think anyone knows why since nobody heard of that rule.... did you even read the thread?

 

your buying it new, you will pay duty

 

Correction, he has a "J" vin, he should pay duties...Maybe he will be fortunate like you?.. unless your fortune, wasnt just luck..

 

I think, that may be because of the slave recall.. but dont quote me on that..

 

Duties for cars made outside of North America are applicable on new or used vehicles.

 

According to the Admissibility list, the 350z has two explanations associated with it:

------
#4(3) indicates that the vehicle requires modification to the child tether anchorage and that some action is required on the
immobilizer

and

#9 (paraphrased) either there is no immobilizer or an immobilizer that is non-compliant with Canadian regulations.
------

With respect to #9, the admissibility document may be out of date, because the federal government did make exceptions for vehicles without immobilizers or non-compliant immobilizers. It may be the case that there isn't an aftermarket immobilizer available that is compliant. I am not 100% sure.

 

I have a question about driving a car back.

Can I just slap my provincial license plate on it in the States in lieu of temporary registration from the State and drive it across the border with that?

 

^ No
Your plate is reg to a specific car.
Get a temporary plate when you negotiate the deal in the US.

 

no , but all you have to do is go to the secretary of state and get a temp plate, its 10$ , u need proof of insurance, proof of purchase, and a clean title

 

Thanks. I just checked out a 2007 350Z in the US today. It was built on August 25th, 2007, just 5 days before Sept. I doubt the cars made after Sept have a different immobilizer than the ones built prior. I really like the car and do want to buy it, so it would suck if the Gov't said I couldn't because it was only built 5 days before the deadline.

I plan on calling them up and asking.

 

ok, after reading some other forums, I think I was mis-interpreting the RIV admissability list.

For post-Sept 1, 2007-built 350Z, it HAS to have the immobilizer since the Canadian law states that all cars built after Sept 1, 2007 must have immobilizer. That is why the '[EIS]' is listed next to it.

if the car was built before Sept 1,2007, it doesn't matter. So that means all 350Z built before Sept 1, 2007 are allowed, and any built after must have immobilizer.

I hope that makes sense.

This is the forum thread I read:

Any updates????

is it possible for us to get a step by step how-to-import-a-Z-into-Canada post?

 

So....
Where are the pics already?

 

Can anyone point me to the thread about installing DRLs the easy way? I saw it referenced somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

nevermind, found it: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....installing+DRL

Is it possible to post pics so we know which wire is for front headlights and for the wire that is "on" when hte car is turned on.

Also, which bulbs are used for DRL on the Canadian-market 350Z? The HID headlights or a seperate bulb? I imagine with the DIY method, the HID light would act as the DRL as opposed to a normal bulb. Wouldn't that affect the HID's longelivty?

 

nono its the parking light, the little light beside your hid's,

i should post pics, i have been so busy....

i will try to post by this weekend!
