I'd imagine most prices will increase, there are only 3 companies in Perth registered under the new RAWS, and the amount of work per car has increased, and so will the cost of compliance. Many cars are no longer eliglible, but many now are.

There are good and bad points to the new RAWS, we'll wait and see how it really affects us

Phptf is correct , there will be more work and especially paper work to be done.

Cars must be accident free but is still a grey area in what constitutes accident.

Would think it means weld on panels.

Prices on GTIR's have been lower than 20K for some time since more than 1 w/shop has been complying them.

Cheers

on the new raws scheme. will it be possible to bring in modded cars or do they have to be stock. as far as i know grade 4 cars are bog standard/pristine condition

Depends on the auction but yes , Grade 4 is usually close to stock with very minor or no panel repair.

I believe that modded cars will be allowed in but will have to be presented to compliancer in std condition.

This atm even includes exhaust , aircleaners and wheel size.

I still think the 15 year old rules comply. Basically you can import anything over 15 years with it going through a much more basic compliance. You cant import modified vehicles and compliance them unless returned to stock. According the RAWS you must produce documentation to show you have destroyed the parts concerned, there may be ways around it, but it wont be very economical to import a car with nice rims, exhaust, pod etc etc. Its a bit annoying, but given time things may change and hopefully calm down and get a bit more relaxed, at least they havent canceled imports all together.

cheers ken now check this out www.mines-wave.com. theres a gtr32.5 there(n1). still searching for more info

You will find that is a title that Mines has made up for their modified R32 GTR.

Note things like the ATTESSA pro out of a R33 VSpec which I doubt is something that Nissan has done.

I hope that more dealers hurry up and get setup for the new RAWS cause the fewer dealers the less competition and the higher the price. The cost to setup and meet ISO9000 Standards is very high and alot of people are getting out of the game, which is good, but we still need more than 3.

Also it gets rid of a few dodgy compliance shops. I have heard bad stories of cars not having the air filter replaced (and its colapsed in the airbox), all liquids not being changed (engine oil, brake fluids, etc etc), brake discs and pads not being checked and machined if necesary, tyres not even being replaced. Yet they are signed off by an engineer and the shop still charges the going price for compliance. RAWS is both good and bad in different ways, personally from a qaulity point of view its great, from a modified vehicle point of view its bad. When I imported mine I wanted a bit of fruit, exhaust, wheels etc etc. I'm glad I got a stock one though, as it means it hadnt been thrashed to an inch of life and then stuck on a boat for me to buy. Some japanese are fastidious about their car and will look after it and service it every 5000km's, some just thrash the tits off them and then sell them when they become too expensive to fix. Its always hard to buy sight un-seen. Anyway, going back to RAWS I like most aspects of it, but paul's right unless more workshops complete the ISO std we'll be left paying top dollar. The place that complianced my car is a RAW's workshop I believe (he was going through the process when he complianced mine) and thats Phils Mechanical in Kelmscott, good bloke, see him for a compliance plate if you wanna import under RAW's :)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
