$2.000 is pretty good man, I think you will be lucky to find it any cheaper.

You would be better off paying the 2k and giving it to a good reputable shop to have the work done properly, at least that way you know it's all good when you get it back.

But as cheez said, Dennis at JAP CAR does a good job.

$2,000 is a good price assuming it includes GST, brake pads, DOTARS application fee, etc ... most places have been charging around $2,200 ($2,000 plus GST) but there are a few offering as little as $1,750 or $1,800 including GST but you have to be careful when you shop arond based on price alone as you may end up with lots of 'additional costs' like new battery, fuel, AC levy, etc. and might cost more in the long run.

I would suggest going with a place that has been recommended by others at a reasonable price, and just make sure you get a quote in writing from them stating exactly what is included and what additonal costs they might charge on top.

Yep forgot to add that part, its essential you get a quote in writing as you may get over-charged.

I ended u paying more as the compliance shop insisted they quoted me more after I confirmed with them on numerous occasions... doesn't matter now but I was pissed off bad at the time.

Its best you get a quote in writing so you have something to back up the price you were quoted.

curious why you are even bothering importing one?

there are over 1000 skylines for sale on carpoint etc - youd be mad to bother importing one

there would be literally hundreds of GTST's in melbourne for sale so you can full inspect, drive, test etc

Yup, 33's are the same price.

Tires are up to you, we have spare parts (tires, exhaust, etc.) that we fit for compliance for free, and swap back for free, no problem.

obviously aftermarket intercoolers are a problem, since they cut holes in the body (usually....ARC is an exception I believe), so call us first if this is the case. accident cars are no-go also, obviously.

You'll need tires for RWC, but you can get them at Beau Repairs, it's all the same to us.

Watch out for other workshops overcharging you for tires.....one of many tricks of the trade.

Jon handles all the compliance stuff, so give him a call if you're interested, or come in during the week to chat...we're at 4 York St. Richmond, VIC 3121.

cheers,

Maybe try Carizma.

I was told $2000 for my R34 GTR.

Possibly cheaper for an R33 (assuming they do it.)

Hey guys,

I can recommend Carizma, picked up my R33 GTS-T from them on Monday. Very easy to deal with.

These guys know what they are doing! - Check out their showroom.

Compliance was $2000 - I'd be happy to pay this amount again knowing i wont have any problems later on.

Jon answered all my questions and was happy to chat.

Cheers

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
