I need to comply an R33 for a customer in Sydney. If you can do it for $2200 plus tyres, the gig is yours.

Cheers

Be careful when getting a compliance workshop to do your car based on price alone - there are a number of workshops out there who will do inferior work or maybe not do all the work required, we have seen this sort of thing before. It's quite possible for them to skip a few steps that will end up causing you trouble when you try to register the car.

Make sure you choose a workshop that has a good reputation and also double check all work yourself afterwards - it shouldn't be necessary with the tight RAWS workshop requirements, but there is a big different between good and bad workshops still.

If price is the biggest issue then make sure of exactly what they will be charging you for - some workshops might quote you $2,500 plus tyres and that is exactly what you will pay - others will offer $2,200 plus tyres but you could end up paying more in the long run for things that might not be included, for example:

DOTARS application fee - $165

GST - it's basic but many do not include it in quotes

brake pads - some will replace regardless and charge ~$400, others will replace only if actually needed

suspension bushes - some workshops will replace things that are not really needed in order to get more $$$

swapping non-standard parts - could be done free from some workshops, others will charge $80/hour

These are all fairly easy things for 'cheap' workshops to add to the price afterwards - just make sure you ask all the right questions and get it in writing if you are not 100% confident.

Cheers for the heads up Craig - I have been burnt like this before with an R34 compliance workshop in Sydney. I know which questions to ask now :thumbsup: Will edit my first post as necessary...

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
