Hi guys,

ive heard that there is around 2 compliance places in perth that do stageas, but ive also heard that they are not exactly the most helpful of organisations.

(ben fom j-spec imports advised me of this)

i was just wondering if any WA stagea owners can give me an insight as to what places they used for compliance and how it went...

just so i can avoid any pricks with compliance.

Cheers

Kieran

note - referring to stagea rs four v/s compliance

I had my stagea complied in Perth less than 12months and i would definately NOT RECOMMEND who i used...they cost a fortune, they were slow, they were rude, they were definately not the most helpful people, not to mention that they run my car out of fuel which caused big problems and they couldnt care less!!!..They were also the only WA compliance place at that point in time!

If you want to know my story ill chuck you a PM as i cant name them on here for rules of SAU...but i would definately be looking else where instead of using these people!

Thanks for the PMs and reply guys.

It really is appreciated.

To me, it seems that the best decision to make is to have the car complied over east by a recommeded business, and have it shipped/freighted out to perth.

J-Spec advised me that the compliance market is far more competitive there,

and seeing how they can freight for around $500 to perth (due to the govt rebate) i probably wouldnt be anymore out of pocket than forking out an unjustified amount for a shitty perth compliance.

I assume that compliance over east would still enable the car to pass the pits over here, right?

Cheers

Kieran

quite easily

you won't be the first to do it that way and you sure won't be the last

good luck with it and looking forward to seeing yet another join the ranks in WA

we are getting ours complianced in QLD , so cant YET comment on workmanship

but basically we got ours complianced in QLD and shipped over for CHEAPER than we could get it complinaced locally

got the J-spec page for your car so we can look?

did you get the 50billion photos they take too?

alrite that sounds like a good idea then.

i spose brissy compliance would be the best...boats get there first, so its gonna get the ball rolling sooner.

especially considering alot of people have done it without any hassles.

cheers for that guys!

PS the link was taken down so no pics atm sorry

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
