my new car

[zymotic]

I have just started importing this car skyline

I'm scarred and will have to wait till late September to drive it :uhh:

Heres hoping it comes inside my $20k budget:freak:

[akeenan]

congratulations, that came through the post a few days ago

[chaos]

will they take the stereo out cause its not stock??

[zymotic]

apparently they can leave that in (stereo) but will have to remove the turbo timer under the RAWS scheme (although my broker said something about possible hiding the turbo timer). Bit dodgy so i might ask compliance workshop to remove it.

[chaos]

why dont u ask em to take it off and send it seperatly?? cause im assuming the timer is included in the price

[zymotic]

Ill leave the timer on the car and ask the guys at the compliance centre to take it off and put it aside for me same goes for the stereo if theres a prob there.

The stuff might as well stay in the car untill compliance and then ill ask em to keep the parts and put them in the boot or back seat.

[chaos]

you'd have to ask very nicely

usually they destroy them when they take em off

[P1E]

Good luck! Keep us updated.

[Guilty]

Good luck and ye keep us updated plz..coz im planning to import 1 through prestige motors in a few months time.

oh so have u payed yet?

[predator]

oh, so somebody is buying these cars nice..

yer, there has to be evidence that the item has been destroyed, i don't think its as simple as just taking it off. How they know the item is there in the first place (???) is probably the most import aspect.

Is each car inspected for extra parts by some Government authority before it goes to compliance? Like once it comes off the ship?

[chaos]

well im assuming the have very good checkers that know what to look for people talk bout taking parts off and hiding it in the car or just leave it in the car and install it back on later

[zymotic]

apparently they only have to be removed not destroyed.

[T0nyGTSt]

I find this whole thing so stupid and puerile.

The government getting upset over a turbo timer...

Get them to hide it in the boot side panel. I found can of paint and a whole buncha shit in my skyline.

which RAWS workshop has agreed to do the compliancing for you?

Has the R33 passed RAWS certification yet? (ie: emmisions and side impact etc).

How much is the worshop going to charge?

[33Spec2]

personally i dont see anyone destroying perfectly good expensive equipement you'd have 2 b stupid! there will probably b loopholes

[zymotic]

workshop is here.

No the car hasn't pass RAWS certification cos its still in Japan.

The car is stock apart from cd and timer so should be fine.

$3750

[rev210]

the new RAWS system might have a loop hole or two but, given most workshops have forked out heaps of $$$ I doubt they would try and test them for 'one off' sales.

Make sure the RAWS workshop is all 'ok' about compliancing the car you pick and get the price set in stone from them because it's nothing like the old system.

[rev210]

My mates family has a RAWS certified workshop and there are very few cars approved under the new system.. For instance the 'stagea' is almost done but still is waiting on emmisions and side impact. Till then no one can sell a stagea till it is nationally certified. Every car over the 15yr mark has to be independantly re-assed even though they are listed.

I noticed the R33 is done tho'.

Keep us up-dated. I am also in the same boat, have been waiting for about 2 months now to bring in my car, should'nt be too much longer.
