yeah importing modded cars is fine as long as the RAW is able to changeover the aftermarket parts for those that are present in the evidence package they used. Also the aftermarket parts can't alter the structure of the car that is irreversible (ie hole cut out to fit FMIC).

once you submit a car as being complianced, dotars can inspect the car at their discretion to see if the work carried out is by the book. some workshops take a gamble and put the paperwork in without doin the hard yards, and when they get audited they get into trouble. I've heard of workshop owners closing the roller doors when they've seen an auditer come down the driveway and run out the back door. Most RAWS do it by the book and get by. DOTARS maintains tabs on most RAWS and the ones that get audited regularly are the cowboys of the industry and those that are just starting out.

technically the parts taken off must be destroyed, but the RAW can sell it to a scrapper who then sells it back to the customer etc... as its out of their control.

I've got an R33 with some mods here in Japan. Looking at sending it back to Oz some time before may next year. Can I send it with just basic mods e.g air cleaner, exhaust and send the rest and replace once complied ?? Also jacking points are a bit bent is that going to be any problem and has had had left front guard replaced due to small bingle..

Any help be great...Also looking for reputable company to do the whole process..any recomendations..

Sounds like it will be ok.....we comply them for $2000 including GST (discount for cash), located in Richmond + Abbotsford (2 locations).

We can lend parts (no charge) if you need anything to get it complied.

We're more than happy to give you advice about how to get your car here....give us a call or email,

cheers,

david

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
