$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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
