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 :)

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
