Hi everyone there; I´ve been Quoting to buy a Z through some auction dealers and on my process the first thing I find out when I come to getting some information on registering the car in my country is;

 

first of all if the car has been brought from Japan or the United States it requires a certificate of emissions E4. Since Japan and U.S.A has a different emissions standard, this new law came out this year on all European community under something called the" Kyoto Treaty" in order to clean up pollution on air...I have also checked with other european members technical vehicle inspections and they have told me the same thing; new law requires all cars that want to be registered in European countries to have the standard E4 emissions test done and past, or a certificate of emissions saying it passes the E4 requirements,

 

Now this is really messy..why? easy, in order for any dealer Nissan in the UK to give you a certificate of emissions E4 then it has to have emissions E4, and if the car comes from Japan how in the world it´s going to come with E4?

how to fix this? well a very expensive process of changing all engines..etc..a nightmare and expensive job not even worth going to...

 

So now.I find myself with the problem that if a auction dealer from the UK brings a Z for me registers the car in the UK and he can get a certificate of emissions saying that car passes E4 emissions then I am good to go,,, but..who will do that? I don´t think Nissan would do that..neither Nissan in Japan..and neither any Nissan dealer in U.SA.,

 

what I would like to know is if anyone here knows of this law and obviously can any of you who own a Z tell me if it has emissions E4? certifcate somewhere? probably not because if you bought the car like 2 years ago this stupid new law came out last xmas..so..

 

wich is the department in the Uk who is in charge of this? and I could get better information on it? any help here would be so useful and appreciated..

if it is like this unless the Z has EURO4 Emissions once it comes from the UK I think i won´t be able to buy a Z from Japan ..unless it has been already register homologated in the UK or any european country and it passes the emissions 4E and has teh certificate it has.

Please Help with this matter.

Thank You Fellows!! :( :( :( :( :(

Sounds like it's designed to stop people bringing them in :xxx:

 

To be honest mate you might just as well buy one that's already here in the UK. There are usually several for sale through this forum and that way you've got some idea of it's history too!

 

:cool:

Best bet would be to speak to import-tance, Lee would know!!

Which country are you from/in?

 

Why not just buy a car here or use an import dealer who will do it all for you?

It don´t matter if an import dealer brings one for me once they register the car in the UK say Bonsaicars for example once I get the car I will need a certificate of emissions that says that car passes the E4 standard emissions test..Now! if they bring it from Japan and the Uk certifies that it passes the E4 emissions test then good..but that ain´t going to happen since Japan doesn´t have any E4 emissions..you know what I am saying? little difficult but..that´s the way it goes..unless the car comes with a CERTIFICATE of emissions E4 valid for Europe it will not pass any vehicle homologation oe techinal inspection here. France.

I sounds like it will be the same deal as with importing cars to the UK on a Z-plate ..... The car has to go to an official DVLA tesing station to ensure it meets the UK regulations, they then allow you to register it as a UK car.

 

I can only imagine this will be part of their new tests?

 

Just a though mind you.

Aren't the E4 emissions tests for cars 10 years old and newer?

exactly funky :(

What FunkySi is getting at is that you can't import a Zed under 10yrs old as a model report does not exist. The club has been debating whether to use club funds to get one (yes please!) but I don't know if that will happen?

E4 = EuroNorm 4 emission = CO 1000, NOx 60, HC 75 I believe a Z has E2 0r at best E3 which = CO 2300 , NOx 150, HC 200 ...I bet that was now of no help what so ever :)

ahhhh..yes as Funkysi and Royal say, if its for vehicles newer than 10 years, then you dont need to worry about it since its not possible to import a 300zx newer than 1997 anyway as you have to have a model report for the ESVA, and one one does not exist.

So Lee, if I wanted to buy from you a 1997 import I wouldn´t be able? because it doesn´t have E4 emissions? wich is what their asking me here? :(
