Surprising to hear. I had an excellent experience with him as have many others I know. Sucks to hear you had such a rough experience. Just curious, what car did you buy?

Compliance shops certainly make things difficult sometimes, with some companies not actually being able to comply certain models so they send it to a different shop and just slap handling fees + profit margin ontop of that.

Yeah my delays weren't caused by the shop itself, they were actually excellent. It just took forever to receive the purple compliance plate, and then the RMS/RTA put a hold on the cars registration pending a random inspection. So many hoops to jump through...

I know what you're saying though. An already painful process can be exacerbated in a big way by an inept workshop.

I should have read this thread before dealing with Ben. I am not in the process compliance to my car with Jeep Autoworx in Perth.

I think Jspec Imports service has gone to  ....Very friendly and accomodating at first, but once they have your money communication is very poor. Just like every business I guess.

My car has been in the compliance shop fro almost 2 months now and still waiting for approval? His recommended TopSecretImports invoiced me already for a job that not approved yet, I am requesting a refund and they are refusing to do.

Used Ben at J-Spec, service was mostly good and I did appreciate him being honest about cars condition and he did mention his opinion on cars that are not good enough to import even though I had a chance to get things over and done with so I did appreciate his advice on advising I wait for the right car to come by. 

I do feel there is a smaller but significant element of - hey if things go good, cool.  If not oh well who cares get on with it.

      help to make a 9.5 ratio on a 3.2 rb30/26 block stock

      You will need custom pistons made, the combustion chamber is to modified for any off the shelf piston to give a good compression ratio

      Which is a thing done by no-one ever. Not even remotely a good idea. I would run an engine with 10:1 these days. Good management and fuel compared to the early 90s when these boat motors were designed & built.

      I think you misunderstand. This was Greg driving from Melb to Syd (or return) at a constant 100km/h on the highway. Very little throttle movement, very little accel/decel. You should be able to get 8.5 l/100km under those circumstances (which is effectively what he reports - 50L for 600km is 8.3 l/100km). I drive my car to & from work every day, in traffic, on a mixture of 50, 60, 90 km/h roads (and therefore at up to 110km/h!!) with traffic lights and freeway sections. 28 km each way, so about a 30-40 minute drive depending on day, direction and traffic (which is enough for the majority of the drive to be "fully warmed up". I typically get flat 10 l/100km every single week. OK, maybe 10-10.5, every single tank of fuel. RB25DET Neo. It is easy to get acceptable economy. I won't say "good" economy, because modern cars are doing 5-6 l/100km in the same conditions.

      Stagea Suspension

      Superpro are fine. There are some applications (R32 FUCAs for example) where they are no damn good, but typically for any normal suspension bush, they are fine. Some people will complain of them making noise. Some people will complain of them collapsing. But many of those can probably be traced back to not properly lubing at install or other installation problems, or possibly other problems elsewhere in the suspension that put additional load into particular bush. And for the legit complaints? Meh. Deal with it. I had to replace the poly bushes in my R32 FUCAs every year. The real issue is that I am sold on the idea of adjustability of at least upper arms. So I only have spots for poly bushes in lower arms these days, as everything else is either hardened rubber or spherical steel.

      Suspension really is complicated.... All these considerations are making me over think it all. Again. I reckon I'll wait for SK's response on his coilovers, and go from there. Though if I go MCA, I'll have to decide on whether the extra $600 (voston comforts $1890, mca pro comfort is $2490) is worth it. Just something soft and comfy, yet firm enough when required at the track or a casual old pac drive for a pie... Otherwise, anyone have experience with SuperPro bushings? Needing to replace the bushings on the suspension department... Will probably keep the oem uppercontrol arms etc, and just replace the bushings.
