Compliance Question

[msports180]

im looking at buying a 260RS from japan, its quite heavily modded. What i wanna know can anyone recommend somewhere to get it complied? It will need a few parts swapped over to stock for sure. Im in WA. Most people i have spoken to are not interested, but i wanted to try some more before i gave up.

thanks

it could be compied interstate if you want ie shipped direct to there then transported to wa .i used nismo in qld and john there was excelent and saved me a lot of heartburn and dollars toboot.from what i have heard some compliance place over there is verry dodgy anyway regards mike

Any chance it is the one on Jspec with twin HKS GTSS turbos and rebuilt engine?

You maybe pushed to get it complied

Try Phil at IAMSHE on the gold coast

yeh thats the one.

Ive tried the 2 WA guys no luck.

Mite email these guys you have mentioned.

thanks muchly for the help guys!!

[Stinky Rooster]

don't even bother trying to get it complied here in WA. I have a lot of respect for the new guy on the block.......

and I might just leave it at that, but yeah, get it complied interstate, you will save time and money.

yes getting stageas complianced in WA is near on impossible - let alone a highly modded one

Shogun imports over in Brizzie could probably give you a good idea - they complianced our stag and did a good job of it

[msports180]

this is probly a real noob question...

If i get it complied over east, they have to put stock parts on it etc. Do they license it over there? or do i still need to do it over here? If i do it here, the car has stock stuff now not the nice after market stuff? what happens there?

sorry if its stupid, i just get dumb answers from people over here, its begging to be a pain allready.

when i got my stag it was qld rego all i had to do take papers in to the vic-roads office and they changed it over to vic rego didnt have to get a roadworthy done or anything all they did was checked the vin plate to see if it matched and i drove away with vic reg and plates, only other thing i had to do was send the qld rego label back with a changeover form that i got from vicroads office and i was sent a cheque for the balance of the qld rego bout 2 weeks later.

[ssshonky]

we got ours complianced over east - and in our particular instance they did not register it over there.

the car arrived here with no plates and we needed to get a temporary permit to drive it around

( only to workshops/ pits etc )

my take on it is.. get the car complianced and returned to a state that can pass pits. Put it over the pits and depending on WHAT mods your going to put back on , just put em back on!

bear in mind you have to take the risk ( as everyone does ) that if you get pulled over and yellow stickered your going to have to revert it back to how it was after compliance.

if you want to talk over the phone I am more than willing to - just PM me and I will give you my number.

I am not claiming to be a know all guru - but I might be able to help

Mods such as coil overs will prob get over the pits as long as the car is not stupidly low.

really depends on what the mods in question are.

dont give up too easily . but in the same breath you need to make an educated and informed decision

Hope that helps

low mount turbos will be no issue and i only see big lumpy cams or aftermarket ecu as possible issues when going over pits in WA. The ecu is ok as long as the pits dont see it and u dont mention it has one

WOW!! i like it when you talk dirty man!!

[msports180]

yeah i would of thaught i could sneak over the turbo's, ecu and stuff. I dont mind the fact of risking a sticker everytime i get pulled over, i dont live in perth and the cops wouldnt know what the hell it is where i live.

HAHAHA yudy it was meant to be a serious post :laughing-smiley-014:

...... i dont live in perth and the cops wouldnt know what the hell it is where i live.

Most of the cops in Perth don't know what the hell a Stagea is anyway.

I was caught in a police shut down of the last Ignition DVD Hotspot and i was the only one of about 80 cars that got waved through the exit without a breathaliser or licence check

[ssshonky]

oh and two things that might cause you major hassles.

1) - they tried to fail us outright on the dark tint of the rear windows and the rear of the car

so we asked them to get the testing unit out and we passed.

what we DID fail on is the fact that the car did not have an immobiliser.

So BE WARNED - make sure your car has a working immobiliser ( and test it yourself too )

if it does not have an immobiliser your going to need to get one fitted BEFORE you go over the pits.

good luck matey!

Got mine complied at Nizmo in Queensland... then sent by rail across to Perth where I took it to the Pits at Whelshpool to get licenced.... No drama's, the bloke actually knew what it was, had no issues with the dark glass and he only picked up that I had a headlight out which he said just change the bulb mate.... he asked if it had an immobiliser to which I said yep and that was it...

So yeah you wont have any dramas provided the guys at the pits dont pick on your mods ( it will be the cosmetic ones they can easily see )....

Just been driven on the docks. Diffs are a bit wild. Sounds nice though, as it should with very little exhaust to speak of.
