Complince Costs Help!!!???

[SXY R33]

Hey guys i am a bit confussed about complience under the new import laws.

how mush is to complie a r33.

i have been told $4000 and other say they can do it for $2000

anyone in Melbourne who can do it for $2000 plz tell me

is more of less for GTST model compared to GTS(n/a)

Becasue the importer whats to sting me $4000 for my n/a

but if i can get it cheaper he will take $2000 of the price .

Cheers.

regardless of it being an n/a or turbo or a gtr I beleive the price is the same. but under the new rules the price will be around the $4000 mark. no way it'll be 2000 cause even under the older rules you'd struggle to find compliance for 2000

Under the new RAWS scheme you will be looking at a price around 4-5k. No one in Melbourne has compliance plates for a R33 as of yet. Most compliancers are at their final stage so I expect that it will be another 5-8 weeks or so untill there is a compliancer for R33's.

if you're getting compliance for $2000 stay well clear of the mob, there's a bunch running around sayin it can be done for that much, but then when ppl go for rego they find that the plates are stolen.

Expect to pay $4000 under RAWS (the current scheme). UPI is about 2-3 weeks away from getting their full accreditation, and they should be one of the first to be able to comply em.... unfortunately atm not many people can do em, they will, but they'll make you wait a few weeks for plates, but do the work in the meantime.

yeah thanks

the import said hes right to import and complie now.

wtf, if the laws have not came into effect how can he complie.

another car dealer ship said he will complie his cars in the car lot for 2g for me

suspect ppl everywhere

n/a for 10000 + 2000 complinece

rule 1 - dont go to car yards

rule 2 - speak to ppl who have used importers and who they used and what problems they had etc.

these guys sound dodge as.

[Daz]

Inark: Just a question but why should you not go to car yards. Are they generally known to be dodgey?

[funkymonkey]

eg: 3 car yards in springvale/dandy area quoted me $15k for an N/A R32 GTS back then when I was buyin em.

1 didn't have import approval for the car, it was a cut n shut job

another didn't have compliance plates on it, when I asked him he goes "it'll be done when you buy it".

the third one had brought it in as a GTSt (accordign to the papers) but was now miraculously a GTS.

they're mostly shonky, and as settling as it is to test drive a car, they pull all sorts of dodgy's. Reputable car yards are one thing, but import car yards are cut-throat mofos.

I went to j-spec and I ended up getting the car on the road for 13k with compliance (under the old laws).

If I were you go to the reputable importers like j-spec and risbey, they'll get you a car you want and with j-spec they'll show you EXACTLY what each thing costs every step of the way (with reciepts etc) and you don't pay a large sum, you pay on completion of each step.

[inark]

sif use risby either... ask Dr_Drift about what he thinks of risbey the yahoo auction man.

Daz - dealerships like Kamikazee or others where they offer u decent cars at a higher price which have been obviously maintained and know about cars go for it... ur average twit at a car yard doesnt know shit about these imports and does dodgeys to get them on the rd... LOTS of cut and shut jobs.

im like munkeh boy... i went to dealers and they were trying to sell me cars which i could physically see were in major accidents as "GRADE 3+!" yeah right... apart from the fact theres no such thing as 3+ i could see when i opened the bonnet the stress marks where the chassis had been buckled and str8end out and slapped back together etc and tried to sell me an R32 GTST for 17k.... i got mine for 12k and the engine was in top condition with genuine low ks and had also been in no major accidents and only 2 minors, 1 replaced front bar and rear right hand lower qtr panel has been repaired.

my general concensus on importer car yards etc are stay well away.

[funkymonkey]

hehe u know my stance on risbey the yahoo auction parrot... he's better than a car yard tho lol...

[predator]

lol.. yer, i'm gonna go direct thru an importer. Its got risk, but well if u don't want risk don't buy an import.

Car yards - erk! Least most of them will be closed under the new scheme or not be able to sell imports like previously, which most would say is a very good thing.

Risbey can well, get Frisbey'ed

What I have been told (by an importer) is that compliance for most cars will be around 4.5k, but apparently there *may* in time (say 6 months) be places that will be able to compliance certain models for a bit less than that... So i'd say in time with more competition and established processes things will get a bit cheaper.

[SXY R33]

Ok, so their goes my idea of buy by r33 n/a for 10g + 2 g comlinece from "Power Road car sales" in Dandenong VIC.

they must be really doggy.

i will go down still to have a look and take some pic and post them if the car is visably been in a accident.

Any One selling a r33 n/a Cheap???

[funkymonkey]

I'm sellin an n/a r32 cheap, but doubt that's what ya after

[x2shy]

OH BTW, N/A can't be imported under the RAWS scheme. So there is no one that can do the compliance for you anymore. There are some ppl that still have cars that were complied under the old scheme just not rego'd yet.

[funkymonkey]

n/A R33's are still OK, N/A R32's are not available any more

[funkymonkey]

this was because of a technicality in the power to weight ratio, the R33 is more powerful than an R32 GTS (think RB25DE vs RB20DE) so its still eligible for import, but tis only around $500 more to import a R33 GTSt usually

[SXY R33]

How can this guy in dandy do complince for for $2000???

is he doggy or just nice(lol).

$12000 for a stock manual r33 GTS is Pretty good.

i Think i Will cheak the plates with vic roads, and VACC check the car to be on the safe side of things..

BUt if you know anyone selling A r33 GTS around the price range let me know.

cheers.

[SXY R33]

BUMP:)

[funkymonkey]

dude, you only bump shit if its about 3 days ol...

[predator]

haha.. the reason R32 GTS is not allowed to be imported anymore as its under the required power and i'm not bullshitting either, there is like a minimum kw/kg under the new scheme for any car to be imported.. its like one of the criteria in assessing it "unique" or "performance" i believe. hehe
