So car i am looking at is complied but does not have new tyres & when i asked him he told me the above?? Does this mean it's a dodgy compliance?

Not necessarily. Depends who's selling the car and at what stage through compliance it's at. If it's already been through compliance successfully, they may have just replaced them with second hand/worn/etc ones. Nothing to legislate what happens to a vehicle post-compliance.

Is there any way to find out if it is ligit or not? For the car to be registered the RTA would check the complicance etc to make sure it is ligit wouldn't they?

Thanks just a bit worried before i go ahead with purchase

Well check if it's complied and registered that's about it. If it's kosher the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please. There's no requirement to keep the new tyres on once it's gone through that process.

Check with DOTARS to see if the car is complied, check the car has current rego, but if it has that the owner of the car is free to change tyres as they please.

checked RAWS & the car has been complied according to VIN number i got off the car & details match those i got from a VIN Check so i guess it should be pretty safe

Thanks for your help

Once a car has been complied the new tyres may be taken off and sold or taken back to the tyre place or used again on another import or whatever.

What they probably did was put new tyres on it then took them off after compliance and put the Jap tyres on. Pretty dodgy morally but technically legal I suppose. It's gonna be you who has to pay for new tyres if you buy that car.

Does anyone know what is supposed to happen to the Jap tyres after they have been replaced with the new ones for compliance?

Is the RAW supposed to destroy them?

Can I get them back?

Cheers,

Ozan.

From my experience, I got to keep my tyres after compliance. I think it comes down to your compliancer, and whether he is nice to you or not. Tyres had 70% tread on them, so I ended up using my brand new yoko's first and then switched back to the GIII's. They were a little hard, but after a track day tehy seem to come good.

What about from a legal point of view? Since I bought the car are the tyres mine and therefore I decide what happens to them?

I checked the compliance legislation and it doesn't say anything about the old tyres. It simply says that new tyres must be fitted.

Therefore I don't see why it's up to the comliancer since the tyres belong to me. Am I wrong here? Please let me know.

Cheers,

Ozan.

It really depends on who is doing the compliance for you.

The ruling is; New tyres must be fitted to comply with Australian Road Standards through the Compliance process.

So what many compliance workshops do is, put on a set of stock rims and tyres for you while the inspectors come out, once they bail, they throw ur other ones on (if they arent too badly worn) and you drive away.

Good way to save some money :rolleyes:

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
