new RAWS scheme

[kidd]

will skyline prices drop on the new scheme. i know GTI-R prices will drop lower than 20 grand. what about the rest of the imports?

i heard only grade 4 auction cars will be imported.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

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.

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.

You have to show were the performance parts went.

The 15 year bit stands. I've got an R31GTS-X for sale

but the offers are at $14000 so far so don't think a

GTS-R will be cheap as even the Japs love them.

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

[kidd]

wouldnt mind one of them pajero evolution's

[kidd]

this compliance shit sucks

[R33_Cam]

when does the new sceme commence from???

[memphis]

MAy 1st from my gathering

[angel]

Early March, now, soon? I'm probably wrong.

[red17]

Am i right in assuming that STILL no one has applied to plate R32's?

Does this mean apart from the 15 year ones next year the R32 import market in Perth is pretty much dead and buried?
