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

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 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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
