I know compliance is the same.. but the new scheme is now in effect. THis means any car inported under the old scheme will not be able to be complianced under the new scheme. I know someone who didnt realise this last month and has no option but to destroy the car or wreck it.

Hippy,

PM Me and i can go through all the wonderfull steps to getting your car through Regency Park...

N/A - If a car was brought in under the old system and was not fitted with a plate, the owner has the option to take it to a RAW and get it complyed... but you only have a year....

chris,

this is an unbiased view so please dont take it personal but ive looked at the vehicles avaliable on your site and compared those to vehicles avalible to import from prestige motorsports and there seems to be quite alot of differences in the asking price. Now this may be b/c your does not need bidding etc ect but ultimately my question is why so expensive when i can buy private or through a dealer. curious. btw i am thinking of importing a vehicle but am keeping my options open thus my query.

Nozila, first things first - love the picture mate.

Second - no offence taken bro, understand the enquiry.

To answer that, I would have to start by saying that Matrix Motorsport is mainly a compliance company and at the moment all of our efforts are to make sure that I can provide compliance for all vehicles ASAP.

The cars that we sell are complied ready to register in Aus, and all come with a warranty from our workshop. I employ 3 Trade Auto electritions and a Trade Mechanic so you know that the correctly qualified persons are changing your timing belt etc..

I don’t want to compare prices to Geoff (Prestige) I think he is a great guy and is doing a sensational job with Prestige. I am on his mailing list too and some of his cars are almost unbelievable at some of the prices he can secure!!!

I guess the big thing here my man is that we are the actual workshop who will import the car, free it from customs, comply it under the new RAW system, and hand over the keys. Dealing with one person is a definite advantage I think, and especially in this industry!

I know that alot of people are going to look at the dollars and cents of it all, but when you are buying a 20k+ car, there is soo much more to it than that....

I can help ya with your import mate, but first you will need to know the new laws and what we can bring in, what year, month etc....

I hope i have answered your post mate, its not easy to answer a question like that without offending anyone, but mate i did my best.

Cheers

Matrix Motorsport

chris,

thats exactly the sort of reply that I would like to hear. As i dont want to be in the dark once the import does actually arrive here, if you know what i mean. In regards to rob's answer, i also agree that you get what you pay for and thus am concerned with the prices that some importers are able to offer - makes you wonder how come the prices are that low but neverless tempted to buy it. I compare because as a consumer/potential customer its in my nature. having said this price is a major factor but after sales service, technical support etc etc basically the same service you would expect to receive after purchase of a good/service must not be forgotten. btw where did faz toyz go, wouldnt want to be a customer of them if i was importing a car and they suddenly closed down like that.

regards,

dooky.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
